I’ve been developing professionally since 1996 and started on Dec Vax and Stratus VOS mainframes in Fortran and C, led the build out of an on prem data center with raised floors etc to hold a SAN with a whopping 3TBs of storage along with other networking gear and server software.
Before I started developing professionally, I did assembly language on 65C02, 68K, PPC and x86 for 10 years.
In between then and now, I’ve programmed professionally in C, C++, VB6, Perl, Python, C#, and JavaScript.
Now all of my work is “cloud native” from development to infrastructure and take advantage of LLMs extensively.
It’s not a mark of honor to brag about you don’t use the latest tools.
Some people aren’t using LLMs to do development. Some people aren’t doing stuff in hyperscaler clouds. Some people don’t work in environments where code is allowed near LLMs. Some people are and some people do. This is perfectly fine and to be expected.
Wait until he needs another job and then comes crying about “ageism” when it’s actually he didn’t keep up with the latest trends.
As opposed as I am to doing any side work, you better believe if I were in an environment that doesn’t allow me to keep up with latest trends, I would be playing with it on the side.
Before the shit show of the current employment market, I would be looking for another job if I saw I was getting behind technically.
Sometimes when I have time to play around I just ask models what stinks in my code or how it could be better with respect to X. It's not always right or productive but it is fun, you should try it!
just what I want, interactivity in my ansible playbook
> It's not always right or productive but it is fun, you should try it!
yey, introducing bugs for literally no reason!
I asked if you tried it, it sounds like you have I guess. I'm sorry you did not find another tool for your toolbox. I did.
