Our company is forcing us to do everything with AI, hell they developed a “tool” to generate simple apps using AI our customers can use for their enterprise applications and we are forced to generate 2 a week minimum to “experiment” with the constant new features being added by the dev teams behind it (but we’re basically training it).

The director uses AI spy bots to tell him who read and who didn’t read his emails.

Can’t even commit code to our corporate github unless copilot gives it the thumbs up and its constantly nitpicking things like how we wrote our comments and asking to replace pronouns or to write them a different way, which I always reply with “no” because the code is what matters here.

We are told to be positive about AI and to push the use of AI into every facet of our work lives, but I just feel my career as a developer ending because of AI. We’re a bespoke software company and our customers are starting to ask if they should use AI to built their software instead of paying us, which I then have to spend hours explaining them why it would be a disaster due to the shear complexity of what they want to build.

Most if not all executives I talk to are idiots who don’t understand web development, shit some don’t even understand the basics of technology but think they can design an app.

After being a senior dev and writing code for 15 years I’m starting to look at other careers to switch to… Maybe becoming an AI evangelist? I hear companies are desperately looking for them… Lol, what a fucking disaster this shit is becoming.

It almost sounds like were both in the same company

One could even give a tip to ice that an illegal lives there. Wasn’t there like a reward or something for tips?

Opening presents after midnight on the 24th

Yeah

The Great Big North

Easy there Hitler 🤣🤣🤣

The auction party is a really great idea, I’m going to take note and see if we can do it this year. Maybe friendsgiving if the kids don’t want to do it.

Thanks I had never questioned that fact myself until I saw your post. I also did some googling and found the same thing on multiple articles and not only find it fascinating but also breain dead obvious.

One of the articles I found

Ok, but who did?

1. You are allowing a large faceless coorporation that has ties to both government and big tech to setup a back door to your network.
2. Your data is encrypted to the outside world, but all your packets are unencrypted to cloudflare so they can check them safely, and can be easily analyzed by cloudflare before encrypting them to the outside world.
3. Its free so you are the product.
4. They protect scammers.

Wait, what is this about who beat the Nazi’s?

Should there be OSS?

Don’t have a roomba (shark owner) and me and my two other vacuum cleaners depend on my robot vacuum to help pickup both my godwn retriever and corgi hair on a daily basis.

From what I’ve heard from folks outside the US, we’re way past the point of not being the shinning city on the hill. The only thing I see is that if and when the emails come out to public, the US will be so marginalized by the rest of the world that doing business with them will almost be the equivalent as doing business with North Korea (not counting trade embargos), that people will not really care as much anymore. And even if you where in the US you’d be more interested in just surviving the day than caring about the already known pedo in chief running the whitehouse will all his clouns and billionaires. The only thing that could give me joy is that if thefiles come out, the rest of the world powers could make trade embargos with the US and any billionaire that has financial or political ties with the US (specially including tech companies) so those billionaires would either jump ship and line up with the tax laws of the rest of the world or sink with the rest of the us economy.

Heavy rant over

At this point I just want closure, so either let’s all shoot each other nukes, or fucking begone with this danger close bullshit

I know a dude that talks like this… Like I hear his voice when I read this.

Not true, zwave and ZigBee are not required to use the manufacturers apps and you can setup a home assistant server on a raspberry pi in about 20 minutes and never worry about planned obsolescence like this. This is why I never buy WiFi only smart devices that need internet access and an account on an app to control.

Thanks, that’s actually what I’ve been using but I guess something got messed up locally after I copied the data over. Maybe I’ll pass Picard directly over the server side data or try copying the music again because the metadata looks fine locally which was the cause of my confusion.

Ok buddy, go bother other kids now. I obviously know what a VPN is. But you don’t like Jellyfin so keep using whatever you are using and I’ll keep using whatever I’m using.
