Im a data janitor at my job. Theres no real love for stuff I make for the job. Sure I do a good job, but I dont pretend im making anything other than take data here -> clean it up -> put data new place half the time.

One thing LLMs have done is balloon the amount of projects that exist. Once a proof of concept is made, iterating on an AI project becomes a bit harder than normal, since your not the one who made the initial product. Also management often wants it out NOW rather than waiting on unsloppifying anything.

And management has now had a couple of years moving peoples jobs to an AI project. Which means ironically im doing MORE work since there is just more code all over the place. And AI is starting to get expensive per token… So they are hiring again haha.

Meanwhile at my house, ive been playing around with my open source ebook reader without any AI involvement. Its fun to make a small change and look at it from all angles. Small changes to make something for me.

The issue is even Linux is having AI code within it now…

I cant believe my raspberry pis are going up in price! and pis are getting more expensive!

I cant get into old reddit anymore. Im kinda bummed as there is some subreddits like the litrpg community I cant find here or anywhere on the fedi. Oh well…

Heck you can make your own instance (as others have) and do what you want!

Heh Fresno. That doesn’t surprise me at all.

DHHs takes are hilarious lately. This is one of the things he was saying recently. How coding is solved. Lol.

Check out !ebookreaders@lemmy.zip for more eBook readers. This looks awesome.

Im not disagreeing, it just kinda sucks that im in a VERY low paying with VERY high taxes for our area. In theory that means we should be getting better services. But its quite the opposite.

Where im at registration is a factor of 2/4x to make up for the fuel tax. Fun times.

A mix of prayer and bash scripts.

Hell yeah

Same. Its great!

IT would be neat to auto-add yeah.

Its there about a few hours into the post. Might take a bit to propagate all round the fedi.

Right? I didnt know about it.

This is the fediverse. No one is going to care if you use naughty words. Enjoy!

Ah gotcha! Thanks. I dont know why I didnt make that connection then.

First ive heard of it.

Also not trying to be rude but is this Technology or Technology news? Like I keep seeing people post things but if there not like the newest tech, they get downvoted. Im not saying thats incorrect but Id like to know in case I post what the distinction is.

At work they haven’t hired since 2022.
