@tosensei Unfortunately I wish it was a minority of scammers like you picture it. But every social platform and big tech annoucement sounds like that. I really hoped you were right though.

@jestdotty That is a bonus. No more need for pc repair, spare parts and shit. It saved me sooooo many hours of cursing

@kiki Enjoying linux is some next level unknowingly masochism

@kiki The fuck u talking about gal... surveillance capitalism? lmao, even if it's on open source (and that grants nothing unless you take the whole source, examine it yourself and compile it by yourself) your freedom of privacy ends as soon as the first tcp packet leaves your computer (and vice-versa).

No amount of open source free anarchy11!!11111!! OS or firmware is going to give you any degree of freedom.

You have a lot of time to waste

They're not going to stop anyway.

In europe now we have to have an instagram account to access the module to opt-out of data collection for AI training purposes.

The irony

Rent one with service like Shadow (search shadow tech). You can boot it up wherever you have a decent connection, cross-platform and even fire up some videogames. 30 bucks a month is the lowest you can find for such a machine. Never turned back once I got it.

@kiki Linux is a disaster, lol. Systemd is only a chunk of shit of the whole big shit

I'm a simple efficient senior developer: I read linux and I know it's gonna be shit.

After 12 years in the field and the whole ecosystem of any programming language becoming a clusterfuck of libraries and frameworks rolled out by incompetent idiots, I try to pass less time I can on programming and delegate everything I can to AI because it's the main tool against incompetent idiots bursting out new bug-ridden shit frameworks by the day. I hate AI, but I hate even more idiot uncapable wannabe programmers that put out tools advertising them as top notch. Eventually, some idiot will catch up and get fooled by their word-salad and somehow these little shit frameworks become a thing and you have to deal with them.

I.E: Angular, Javascript etc etc.

@retoor Jeez, I checked the thing and it reports also the tools you use. What a sad life you have. Linux and android.

YIKES!

@AceDev Wish also AI had feelings

@tosensei Not following you in your contorted mind juggling smh. Elaborate

@tosensei Bullshit. You are a brainwashed slave or smth.

Developer is developer and to do his job well he has to do the minimum amount of tech juggling and context switching.

Offloading everything to a developer because it can will only push him to find another company when doing all these jobs togheter like a fucking swiss army knife makes him skilled enough to ask for a higher salary somewhere else and he can allow to trasnfer.

I changed 3 companies for this getting 3 raises. Not planning to stop. Just taking longer than usual because they allowed me to have my own AI project and that shit is long to study, but they pay me for it so I am fine with it.

@Jabb03 Unfortunately this is a great answer that does not apply to the real world, unless you don't want to be taken as a serious professional.

That said, you gotta develop a soft skill that allows you to shape reality in "Yes i know what is happening but I have to open a ticket to devops and shit" and sometimes you gotta solve it by yourself because you can't just wait some neckbeard devops taking 2 days to view your ticket and 2 to solve it by changing a config flag from true to false.

Late to the party but I'm consistently using it since 2 years (not for my choice) and I must disagree with you:

It's not only a worthless piece of shit, it's frustrating, stupid and poorly designed.

Like all the poor designed shit that gets pooed out from apache and that gets blowjobs from OSS linux beardnecks.

The only thing that makes these college freshman projects famous is the same that make linux widely used:

It's free. IF they starts charging money or make it close sourced, bye bye.

People goes a long distance to not pay a few hundred bucks.

I've been through linux, kafka, openCAD, and many many open source shit. I learnt the hard way that paid software usually (but not always) means superior quality on all sides.

@sidthepajfuk Good! Where do I apply

soon as I've heard XMPP my heart skipped a few beats in horror. Php... brrrrrrr

Is the pay good?

Also yes, there are lamps that simulate the sun

my username checks out and the posts also for sure.

The problem?

We got all these "learn coding in 3 months" and college freshmans and most of all these high tech dropouts that believe they're the next IT genius and are able to write a mature framework with the same ease you write a sidekick weekend project.

This led to lot of these idiots to puke out shit on github and generally everywhere advertising it in bold claims as the new panacea for all evil.

Dumb idiots and marketing guys advertise and use it (dumb idiot = the guy who hops on whatever bandwagon is trendy at the moment) and bang you got some new framework that just because some people use it or "that guy worked at google!" then it must be goooood!

Programming today is a hell because of these walking cancers

@tosensei Thank god, I was already preparing myself for a backlash of AI zealots in my comments

@BordedDev Also got problem posting again, this time in dev tools (and not displayed on the webpage LOL, I had to go in dev tools and examine the http response), it said it's either too long or had special charachters.

Turns out I had put a word in quotation marks and this was getting devrant angry.

Heh.....

@BordedDev when you post there is a char counter that warns you if it's too long. Rephrasing with AI because I'm lazy did the trick.

Too much in mid for sure but it's the poor code that make my blood boil.

It's all the little OPTIMIZATIONS that they justify as good practice until death that kills me inside. When it's 1 or 2 no problem, but they pile up thousands of them and it drives me nuts.

One example for the sake of explaining:

Dependency injection in .NET WebAPI, you basically have to type in service.Add.... for every service that has to be injected later in code.

Usually this is done in the entrypoint code (Program.cs class) and you pile up all the entries there. If they are much you divide them by type (services, repositories) and if they are very much you divide them in regions (collapsible areas to keep it hidden).

They made a new whole project with a class and a method for every "region" and to find one dependency you have to skim 5 classes in 2 projects.

@AlgoRythm I like that in 43 days nothing has improved. They brought into copilot Claude 3.7 sonnet and it's fucking up like the other older models.

It's awesome jesus, it is doing the exact same errors.

@retoor We have strict privacy policies and company doesn't trust anyone beside copilot. I can't choose

@BordedDev I came to the point of literally giving it working code pieces to see if it gets it right. Jesus

@retoor Actually yes, it's an AI product that has next to no competitors and the ones that are present are all open source projects abandoned years ago (with no AI of course) or simpler stuff.

We did our homework researching before doing.

Also we realized we needed this already for our daily developement stuff because there was not anything like it

@retoor don't like my code to be peeked around by unknown people

Gpt or not, the only pleasant debugging experience I had is with visual studio.

Everything else lead me to unbearable pain.

@retoor I must admit you got a point, unfortunately, I am involved in some huge projects and companies don't like their code to travel around AI companies.

OpenAI is only allowed because they have a collaboration.

Occasionally for some of my private project I tried copilot with all the experimental models and it produced what I said in the post.

Might want to give codeium a shot but I'm not too fan of paying, therefore I think I will try some nice extensions I saw around for vscode, and run deepseek r1 or qwen locally with ollama and use those in place. Will try also to see if free codeium tier (if they got one) suits my needs.

Sigh, too much stuff around to try

Thanks for the other POV I needed
