thanks for the tip! Yes i use the remote development features of my IDE or work out of a terminal - when I learned about this it changed my world. Input lag still blows but is much better. I, unfortunately, sometimes have to look at dashboards and navigate them. In those instances I port forward so the UI elements are loaded locally by my machine, and the only lag is server response time. But keeping track of all ports i've forwarded, plus makng sure the tunnels don't die - these things are like pebbles in your shoe.
if the intent of the community is to share things that are considered ridiculous, bold, outlandish, and often for the sake of entertainment, I would suggest "Go big or go home" since it is an established meaning of what to expect, especially in the context of a programming.dev instance. Or maybe "Go big or go void" idk.
Personally i like "Not why why not" because I've never heard of it and if it established itself that would be awesome.
Whatever you land on, make the URL short but descriptive like "gobig" or "whynot" so it's self explanatory when referring to the community [email protected]. As clever as nyyn is, my smooth brain can't keep up with all communities that abbreviate.
But have my upvote, I'd love to see more stuff like the videos you shared, them shits rocked!
edit: just saw your edit. URL notyynot is awesome! I vote for that. descriptive and concise
what surprised me here is how much traffic bing gets 😅 integrating with AI was a real pro move, it seems.
Any insight into how much the reduction in traffic is just restricting API usage and actual user interaction? Surely there is a correlation in more API usage (if not just scraping) would drive more engagement?
do you feel isolated in being left out of informal interactions, like "shooting the shit", or because your coworkers aren't as accessible to collaborate using whatever company chat system?
oh boy! did you drive or take public?
has bringing your work and any potential stressors home affected the "quietude of your home?" I ask because I have come to detest that corner in my home where I work - especially after a particularly stressful day. And I'm afraid it accumulates to where I don't feel "free" in that same room.
I'm not a manager but sometimes get roped into interviewing candidates, I really like when they ask the following because it opens up a discussion about "pace" of the team and organization of the department. It also sets the expectations.
What are your expectations of me after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months of bringing me onboard?
In fact, I like this question so much that I'll answer it at the end of the interview even if not asked, I just feel more awkward doing so inorganically. Sometimes we are back-filling a position and the new hire needs to own features by 6 months. Other times we are hiring to expand, in which case there is more runway. Bottom line is, we can discuss if both parties are comfortable with expectations because we want our candidates to succeed. And I as a candidate want to draw boundaries if I am not comfortable.
woo! posted 😎
I've clawed back 1.5 hours a day and save roughly $100 a week on commuting costs. As for challenges, I've had much more friction when needing to access work resources remotely. A pet peeve of mine is the lag when needing to access VMs on prem. I know, I know, a first world problem. But if you had to debug and sift through logs as much as I have to, you'd rage too. :)
I am also mildly stressed because this is not a permanent arrangement and it can change at a moments notice.
It's been a while since I was in a formal classroom setting but as an engineer I'd assert that I'm constantly learning. So I'll offer my perspective on AI in education for those continuing education.
I find myself taking more risks at work and in my personal projects in experimenting with new technology and languages. AI's shortcomings grow exponentially as technical complexities of the prompt grow linearly, but for a beginner getting their feet wet in a subject it lowers the bar considerably in entry to the topic. I found I am not plagued so much by "analysis paralysis" after reading blogs and tutorials that are written by authors with varied understanding in the subject. With a few prompts I can effectively "filter down" the topics I need to read more about to produce something useful. No more fear that "what if i missed something."
Then there's the aspect of creating a tailored refresher for yourself on a class of "Stuff you have to relearn every time you have to use it" (love that comment). Or asking an AI to explain what a piece of content means. For example, if you wrote a really complex Makefile, dumping a tree of the repository and asking the AI to expand all the variables in the Makefile, I can now read what every step is doing.
But you definitely hit the nail on the head with pointing that "it opens a door to potential misuse". I become dependent on it for doing some tasks that I will only otherwise learn by doing. And in the context of data storage, in some ways I become less efficient and more error prone because I no longer access the knowledge I have cached in memory (my brain) and instead access data on disk (taking the time to ask an AI) that can retrieve incorrect data (data corruption, bad sectors, etc) that are difficult to catch.
As an educational tool, I think those that behave as "AI gluttons" and overindulge in use of AI to the point of excess or greed, risk eroding their critical thinking and creativity. And those that do not supplement their learning with AI risk of being left behind by those who use it responsibly. In the same way I think AI will not replace programmers, but programmers that use AI will replace programmers that don't.
hey, thanks! Yes, I definitely want Lifestyle and Leisure to be in the context of the programming.dev instance. There is certainly an unspoken comradery we share. And while we are all individuals, I'd say we are more or less in a union to how we approach or see things; and sometimes not! But we won't know until we share :)
whether I am on a roll or at a roadblock, I too can relate that I think about my code non-stop. Throughout the day, I have ups and down of "engagement". Therefore I try to time when I am in a lull and separate from work then. Sometimes it is earlier than a work day, sometimes its later. When I am still particularly active about thinking, I like to go for a jog at marathon pace or a bike ride. Something that preoccupies me physically while my mind runs around. Don't know how, perhaps by association, but when my body gets tired from running, so does my mind.
