I'm a principal engineer now, and I write the best code of my life today, and I also spend the least amount of time doing it.

I'm in network automation, so I spend a lot of time working with operators and specing change requests. I template what they do today to prevent errors, I then simplify those templates, expand them to be done in better ways, and write tools to automate the busy work.

Once the operators are happy running the tools instead of operating, they get hosted as a service, that schedulers and other tasks can call to remove the operator entirely where possible.

With our reduced operation time, we then scale up until we hit the operational limit again, and repeat.

I believe the meta data of the links are scrapped from the meta tags in the header of the site. The info you see before clicking a link was configured by the host for that purpose.

If you're allowed docker in your systems, build a sysadmin container with all your favorite tools. Then just run it locally and remotely with the root directory bound to /mnt or something

Good tests remove development time, not add to it.

I can't tell you the countless hours saved from automated testing. Red Green refactor for life!

I'm in Miami, as a network developer engineer, coming from the devops side originally.

The culture shock was a lot. Lol.

I used to use it for all my office needs, then Google docs got really good!

I think owncloud/nextcloud use libreoffice code for their collaborative office suites behind the scenes.

There might be a rail kit that can extend out the back. It'd be a little labgore but it would work

I'm a big fan of Linux Mint myself.

If you're job is shuffling tokens, your going to be out of a job in the next decade or more.

Writing, reports, code, reviewing, decision making, creative work, managing, Basically anything white collar these days. If you're job doesn't touch the physical world, AI will be better than you.

Here's the reasons it will take your jobs:

  1. AI is cheaper than humans
  2. AI is faster then human
  3. AI lies and makes mistakes, but it's likely already less than the average human, and getting better.
  4. AI doesn't sleep
  5. AI can work at maximum capacity without breaks

Here's the reasons why it won't take jobs that rich the physical world:

  1. Robots are more expensive than people
  2. robots still require upkeep
  3. people are hesitant to give AI a form that's also physically stronger than they are

The future won't be a SaaS or other business service doing b2b engagements, it will be businesses that touch the real world getting AIs to perform those tasks automatically with prompts. Steel producers won't need accountants, warehouse software, and a legal team. They just have AI that can do what they need to that day.
