These guys are living in the glory. I bet they don’t even know all the info they need is just in a fucking config file, in a damn manual somewhere or in the stupid docs that people doesn’t seem to bother reading anymore, or writing some decent ones.

shlubs who barely passed undergrad data structures and algorithms courses.

And that’s the problem with most people getting into IT nowadays, they expect to go to an algorithms course or a development bootcamp and come out knowing everything to make a 6 figure salary, but don’t even try to learn what a software dependency is or how to fix their dev environment and expect GPT to shlub it up, when in reality many of these old school software programmers were self learning nerds who were just trying to solve (a) problem, and spent hours doing so.

Not to mention the sense of pioneering something.

something you’re happy to spend 80+ hours a week on, especially when basic needs are taken care of.

Vs writing the same thing that already exists with a different front end, a bunch of times with different examples, because somebody who has more resources (not just more cash, but also time) decides visuals are more important than real functionality.

Part of the reason I don’t like ‘coding’ or developing software its because is so dreadful and feels overly stupid when an open source alternative works better than what you’d be able to make before the deadline.

I just rather be a CTO / SysAdmin and live happier.

Programmers of the past didn’t have to work 2 jobs to be able to buy a house and live comfortably, less alone spend most of their paycheck on inflated prices for gas, food, services, etc. But hey we got AI and Amazon Prime now.

Shit man, I’m sure there’s an xkcd for that.

Generate localization strings in all requested languages with the “translate” macro without proof checking because you don’t speak Finnish or Japanese?

Yeah but KFC or Jack in the box isn’t as cheap as it used to be, the only cheap way to make it requires Taco bell now.

I’m a SysAdmin and I’ve met several ‘coders’ who went thru a coding bootcamp, or even went to college and don’t know about git, less alone how to use it… kinda makes me sad.

Shit.

Can I use regulat hot water if I don’t have access to the ass water?

¿No nos volvería lentos y flojonazos? (not a real word if you translate, more like slang meaning to be really lazy)

Ctrl + Shift + PgDown

Si yo también comprendo, qué necesidad de comentar todo el tiempo en anglais?

I’ve also seen the side of “able to work with minimal supervision” being more like “you’re gonna tell your boss what to do” workdays.

What do you mean?

I’ll given it another try man, thanks!

Is Nix on Droid the same Nix? Because I remember giving it a try and seemed to be broken, but never bothered to look more into it… Also this was like 2 years ago.

That’s what we Do.

If its a cold boot you need to spam the key.

Basically, I specifically want cold storage, and not cloud. I will only add, not delete from it. And I don’t want it encrypted.

I have a client with a photographic studio. To give you an estimate, his data is around 14TB of mostly camera pictures with approximately 20 years or history and the owner believe it or not, relies on multiple external hard drives for cold storage, he has a 2TB Seagate thats like 2011-2012 old which still works.

To put in a cupboard tho, M disc is your best bet.
