I use AI extensively in my work because it is required and TBH I don’t love my job, so it’s nice to cut off the boilerplates and automate many tasks.

For my personal projects AI is discuss only mode. But I found I learned a huge amount from it, and without it I wouldn’t be able to complete any of my side projects. There is no guarantee that Stackoverflow and Google can reach the same level of help.

I found that I am relying on AI too much. And if somehow ChatGPT (my primary AI agent for personal projects) becomes more expensive or get nerfed, I might be forced to purchase a bigger license. What about you?

Actually violence is the ultimate power. It is where true power comes from — you can gain true power by hurting other people or/and benefiting other people, and it is always the power to hurt people that is the greater of the two.

A well run government wraps violence behind a curtain and jealously guard it. For example most modern governments look down and punish private vendetta because the state is only the one that can hurt people legally. But if the people believe that the government is biased or don’t care about them, then they will resort to violence, the ultimate power.

But individuals can’t fight with the trend. Might as well reduce costs/debts and prepare to go into the mountains for a few weeks once SHTF.

If you find it a bit hard to chew, there is a simpler book using Python: https://www.amazon.ca/Anthony-J-Dos-Reis/e/B001KE4SU8/ref=dp...

Another book: Game Scripting Mastery.

git means You two.

At least I got a cheaper tank of gasoline tomorrow…

Yeah gonna be downvoted, but whatever.

Restaurants are too expensive anyway. A random breakfast in a random diner now costs around 60 CAD (include tax and tip) for two persons nowadays in my city. It is difficult to justify eating out unless I'm financially free.

I actually tried my luck on LinkedIn but without answer, so would love to get a reference somewhere. If people say my side projects are not enough, which is probably true, I can focus on some Win32 programming for 3 months and see if it works.

But if they only hire greybeards who bagged 20 years of experience then I’m out of luck.

Of course the ideal job is some system programmers job, but I understand that’s too hard, so a notch above is the next good option.

I'll skip the other comments and focus on the technical ones:

> there are hundreds of “agents” which run on a one time basis to install systems as part of deployment architecture. These agents often amount to pretty simple scripts or programs. They most often run one time per update deployment, or if nodes are repaved. Some install small daemons. It’s called micro service architecture. Guy claims to be some cloud wiz but doesn’t get these basics.

> That said He’s put cutlers original work on a pedestal, when fabric controller should have been replaced a decade ago. The monolithic nature of fabric has been a huge issue for reliability and scalability, and the company is trying its hardest to move as many features out of it into microservices as it can.

I'm wondering if OP can answer this refute? Looks like the person is working in a neighbor team. No offense intended but I'm really curious about the technical part.
