That’s the open source life though :/

Almost nobody gets rich from open source. You’re explicitly granting rights that people usually pay for.

It’s noble, but it sucks.

That took time though.

Ssh only started getting major industry support after heart bleed and it’s been the go to secure shell for at least over a decade before that.

I have to disagree. I’ve been conducting interviews for a fairly large software shop (~2000 engineers) for about 3 years now and, unless I’m doing an intern or very entry level interview, I don’t care what language they use (both personally and from a company interviewer policy), as long as they can show me they understand the principles behind the interview question (usually the design of a small file system or web app)

Most devs with a good understanding of underlying principles will be able to start working on meaningful tasks in a number of days.

It’s the candidates who spent their time deep diving into a specific tool or framework (like leaving a rails/react boot camp or something) that have the hardest time adjusting to new tools.

Plus when your language/framework falls out of favor, you’re left without much recourse.

A programming language itself isn’t a marketable skill!

Learn the underlying concepts of programming and how computers work and you’ll be able to move from language/framework to pretty much any language/framework easily.

I think rust is good for learning some low level concepts, especially coming from python.

I don’t think Python is going anywhere in the ML space though.

Tbh it kind of is as long as you’re fluent in assembly

That’s nice, dear

Exoprimal is pretty darn fun

After 10+ years doing go, js, and ruby, my company is moving me to a Java spring team.

I’ve been looking at baeldung tutorials to get up to speed with spring and reactor and it’s been a pretty good resource.

TFW you realize not everybody accesses lemmy the same way

That’s not true. IRC is a client-server system. Your messages go to a server and are “relayed” to clients.

It’s not a p2p messaging system

Mhm

There’s a chip shortage. Most people just use web based apps, so stay on their phones / cheap laptops Enthusiasts usually just build their own machines. Everything is more expensive. The list goes on

cough cough tax capital gains as income cough

As someone who makes most of their money through capital gains, I’m in favor of taxing them more.

They’re a lot more than markov generators, but yeah. I don’t really think, in the long run, we’re going to see too many jobs displaced by AI.

Im not convinced that our statistics based training methods will lead to true iRobot style AGI.

And any company (except maybe visual novel shops) that fires people in favor of AI is going to regret it within 2 years.

I’ve noticed that the lemmy crowd seems more accepting of AI stuff than the Reddit crowd was

FWIW the maga crowd is obviously down with being part of a cult of personality. It’s easy to stand in front of them, say edgy shit, and be showered with praise.
