ChatGPT is both an opportunity and a HUGE threat, no doubt about it.
I’m a full-stack developer, working with clients such as The Gateway Pundit, The Liberty Daily, and Patrick Bet-David’s Valuetainment. If I don’t keep up with AI, I’ll become irrelevant and will lose my clients.
Among other things, I’ve used ChatGPT to quickly write some functions that would have taken me over an hour to write. I’ve also used it to brainstorm article titles.
I'm not sure this is even a thing anymore. Given the crap documentation I've seen over the last few years.
Probably generally true, but I use my computer to get work done, and to facilitate various personal interests. If I wanted to play games, I'd get a console.
Maybe you should do what I did and become a Coach. Agile Engineering Coaches that know Sec/Dev/Ops are in demand.
All of those need a network design based on a network architect and security architect, implemented by a network engineer and/or cyber security/FW engineer.
And if you through in wireless, then a wireless engineer, too.
So, I think I’ll be around for a bit.
Just remember VMS is just MVS spelled wrong
I never really played computer games (except things like Tetris), and I was a good software engineer.
Now, my husband was a great software engineer and he does play computer games.
I’m in the #1 position but retire soon. I hope to re-tool to OOP/Java and go back to work for a few years. Remote work is pretty nice as a contractor but not as an employee.
“I replied not only NO, but HELL NO I do not want to be involved with any aspect of that.”
Smart. Any time the internet goes down, it is your fault.
Nobody would deploy AI-written code into production without reviewing it, right?........Right?
Of course.
#3 What does IT mean?.... : )
Most websites if you right click and View Source have a lot of gibberish instead of clean code, especially Wordpress sites. All that gibberish is to track you. It also slows down the loading of webpages and videos.
#8 I was standing in line at a Sears store (before 2010) and overheard some parents talking with a guy about their kid who just got out of school where he learn to program. His starting salary was $100,000 for a gaming company...
Can you imagine being 22 or younger and making that money?
In their next job they would expect more money as they have the new home and corvette to pay for.
#25 I had a cousin whose husband taught computer science at a university. I read online student reviews of his teaching and they said an easy class as he taught from the book and the exam questions were from there as well. He did not elaborate outside the books.
I could imagine a 22-year-old making $100K a year back then because I witnessed it. It was low in 2008 compared to just a few years prior. Sadly, the "kid" may have been "one-and-done" in that once the game was completed, he was out on his butt looking for the next gig in a field with fewer and fewer game offerings.
The average salary for a computer game programmer now is $74k. The days of being able to develop a cool game and sell it to a big company have been replaced with teams of professionals where fewer individuals stand out.
Amazon AWS went down for hours recently. Many websites went down including Pluto tv as I noticed when I turned it on.
Maybe some new guy did an update. Not the first time either when I did a search.
Here is the most recent.

These are the guys that build the links that send me in circles that never do what they are said to do, or allow me to complete an action that should be dirt simple.
A “tester” tests software or related projects for errors, bugs, defects or any issues that the end-user might encounter.
These are the guys that fail to catch the front-end developers' coding mistakes that send me around and around in circles to end up back at the same page with no opportunity to complete the original task.
Everything has been about tracking. I bet even IE that came with Windows 3.0 had something built into it.
