Thanks, I’m leaning toward the titanium models based on your comment and @jon_slider@lemmy.world.

I hope that they can recover from this and repair all the lights that were already produced. The performance was excellent in TacGriz’s review so it’s clear the driver quality is much higher than Acebeam H16. Safety is kind of important though 😀
It is also possible to have the D2 modified for button-tops! https://budgetlightforum.com/t/interest-collect-k9-3-new-configuration-option-uv-channel-and-the-same-option-for-the-dm1-12-in-the-future/57210/6226
Hank Wang: You can always request us to modify the driver a bit (remove the spring), so that D2 can work with the unprotected, button top 14500 battery only
Thanks. Good point about scratches - also makes me think that when the T3 coating scratches the metal could be exposed, leading to patina in those spots only.
Do folks find raw copper practical to carry? I’m interested in the Convoy T3 copper because (I think) it’s coated so no patina would develop. But I understand the metal changing is desirable to some.
Thanks for upgrading to 0.18.3 @Ategon@programming.dev and team. Performance improvements are noted in https://programming.dev/post/1008304
Skilhunt is another brand with magnetic charging models, such as the M150 with a very nice LED (519A version) https://www.skilhunt.com/product/m150-usb-magnetic-rechargeable-flashlight/
It looks like the AAA Solitaire goes up to 47 lumens, which is pretty easy to find in a similar size. I have used the acebeam pokelit AA (not 2xAA) which has been reviewed quite a bit and can be found on amazon in the US for under $20. It is sold with an included 14500 cell which also has a built-in usb-c charger. So you would need to unscrew the head (which has a glass lens I think not plastic) to charge the battery, preventing water or other ingress.
I’m not sure if it makes sense to invest in a very durable but more expensive light in the event it does end up broken, but if you want to, zebralight is well regarded for durability and you can get a single-AA model and use rechargeable Nimh cells if you would like: https://www.zebralight.com/SC53c-N-Neutral-White-High-CRI-AA-Flashlight_p_249.html. They also offer other models supporting lithium-ion.
I agree with how you characterized it and the term “ai engineer” didn’t resonate with me as defined by the author. If such an engineer doesn’t need to know about the data involved (“nor do they know the difference between a Data Lake or Data Warehouse”) then I don’t think they will be able to ship an AI/ML product based on data.
New titles can be helpful for sorting out different roles with some shared skillsets such as the distinction which emerged between Data Scientist and ML Engineer at some companies to focus the latter on shipping production software using ML.
Cool! Out of curiosity do you or other folks have a use-case for this LED?
A similar one (also sft-40 3000k high-CRI) was tested by Simon of Convoy
This is the definition I know but unfortunately the term seems to have become a modern synonym for system admin/engineer.
Such a role might still provide valuable experience for a backend dev if there’s an opportunity to write production code for internal tools as well.
Developers at my company need to have a deep understanding of the environments they deploy onto (microservices, scheduled workflows, etc.) which can include configuring canary testing, rolling deployments, status probes, setting up and using monitoring, and very occasionally intervening to restart or redeploy running software. But these are secondary skills compared to writing code.
