Unfortunately, like many jobs in the past, ours is changing.

I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what the future hold.

All we can do is be informed about LLMs and futur techs, produce the best outputs with the constraints we have and hope for the best.

Keep your skills up to date, and hopefully find a job where LLMs aren’t shoved down your throat. Or pivot towards something else.

Coachmen had to learn a new job, and it might be our turn.

I don’t hold a lot of hope for the next few years. It’s gonna be rough. All we can be is ready to the best of our abilities.

And for the rich that fucks other rich people.

You know why the code is wrong because you have the experience to see where the issue is and what it is.

If you’ve learned coding with LLMs from the start, you won’t acquire the experience needed to be able to tell what is wrong.

I’ve worked with a client that tried to generate code for a HCI bluetooth device, trying to recreate the full Bluetooth stack, instead of picking the right product from the start, with a working stack.

And that was a client that had technical knowledge, just not for Bluetooth and HCI.

And if you try to tell the AI what’s wrong, it will create bullshit code until it kinda works, adding more issues along the way.

I’m sure that AI will replace coders one day, but LLMs aren’t AI and they are neat ready to write decent, complex code.

It’s a mega corpo. Laws don’t apply to them silly you.

Depends on what access you have on your PC.

My two steps are always the same

1. debloater
2. i install chocolatey and use that to manage my applications if possible.

Then, depending on your work requirements, I would deactivate OneDrive if not used.

It’s a holdover from retail where had to physically hold your product and had limited space.

Now, the shareholders demand even more money and Apple has complete control on the OS and they are signaling that you can’t do shit and they will take whatever they want.

They can fight anyone in courts, and as long as the laws have no teeth, they will get away with it.

No worries, no offense taken.

Hopefully people will see discussions like ours and learn a little something about how things work.

I understand that. Just like Lemmy where all the instances that are federated have a copy of the posts and comments you make.

However, you have the option to create your own instance and federate or not with any community you want.

If there is one mega instance, deferating from it effectively kills the social media. Thus my train of thoughts.

More and more people are moving away from tech giants because of their shitty behaviour. So I think it is important to note how the data is used and stored, thus my follow-up question.

Thanks for the detailed response.

I didn’t know that.

Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Follow-up question : doesn’t ATProto run into the same issue as Bluesky for example, where even though the protocol allows for decentralization, the vast majority of users are on the same servers, thus negating the pros of decentralization?

I feel like this would be the case here where one server will contain all the modules.

For non-believers in that format of social media, is ATProto good or bad?

What do you recommend to find a private tracker? A while back, I tried to find one, but none of them were available for new users. Granted that I haven’t used torrents in a while.

What about the other side?

Loot box are still a thing, in a big way. Look at CS2 or the yearly soccer games.

And gacha games on mobile are a plague.

Lootbox is the first step, battlepass close second.

To be fair, the phone experience of increasingly more companies is just fucking terrible.

Menus over menus. Trying to get to speak a person that isn’t from India is pretty fucking hard. You usually arrive at a voicemail and don’t know when you will hear from them.

Might as well cut the bullshit and find a straight forward experience online instead.

My reason asking is because there are other scheme I feel are more adequate for non relational data, but this isn’t my domain and I barely dabbled in that, so that’s worth absolutely nothing.

But your point about the data being used later makes a lot of sense and I didn’t think about that. Down the road, someone will ask you to create links to your data and if you already have a DB, then you don’t have to change the whole infrastructure to accommodate that. You can create new schemes and already have a somewhat functional access to it.

Thanks for the input.

Side tracking here : to me, it seems like every DB is relational, no?

What use case would a DB used and not be relational? With my minimal experience in DB, I haven’t seen any other use cases than a relational DB.
