Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Ask me a science based question, and I'll research a good answer. Then edit your comment to make me seem like a terrible person.
45·3 months agoThis is fucking hilarious, we need more comments.
I guess it’s chilling insomuch as it gave me shivers of excitement.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can I get a computer science degree, certs,or education without ever touching Windows?
51·3 months agoI want to say no.
I have a few friends heavy into IT, years of experience, numerous jobs from big tech to startups. They’ve all had to touch windows.
As a contract engineer with over 30 gigs in my career, every single one also touched windows.
So…can you? Probably, but it’ll make the entire grind harder.
Frankly, my goal is to milk the corporations for as much money as possible - foregoing my own opinions - so I can gtfo this capitalist ride. That means playing nice with Microsoft, unfortunately.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Pebble Watch Software Is Now 100% Open Source
2·4 months agoI’ve had Pebble watches for probably 14 years now? Let me know what you want to know.
I will say that I’ve had Garmin, Pixel, Samsung, and Fitbits and still prefer Pebble above all.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Pebble Watch Software Is Now 100% Open Source
14·4 months agoI’m on day 9 with over 40% battery left and that’s with dealing with over 300 notifications a day.
It’s stupid light, barely notice it’s there.
I love my pebble, I missed them while they were gone - no other smartwatch comes close. I’m glad they’re back.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anti-AI people, did you ever like AI? If so, when did you stop?
22·4 months agoI used to loathe all things AI. I used to abhor AI coding agents, too.
I actually pushed back against some AI initiatives at some of my jobs.
Fast forward to now, AI does about 60%-80% of my work on a given day. It saves me boatloads of time. Coupled with figma and dev tools MCP servers, it sucks slightly less at CSS. I’ve cobbled together some pretty solid rulesets and tactics for context building that have recently let me tackle an entire month of work in ~2 days, meeting company best practices and code coverage and even gathering demo screen shots for me without me having to do it myself.
I probably spend about $500/month on various AI services now, but I’m cranking out at least 3x what I used to (and being paid commensurate to that output, only way to justify it). It can’t last forever but I have succumbed, reluctantly at first, if only to get what I can from it before it blows up.
As for AI image gen, no. Video? No. Anything ChatGPT or Grok related? No.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Me, when doing error handling
3·4 months agoI just add a global error catcher and call it good.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should I go back to college/university?
171·4 months agoAre you in the US? If so, I don’t know if I can advise comp sci right now. It’s rough.
Trades I think are king right now but don’t listen to me.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Something that happened to you but no one believes you?
4·4 months agoAh the liability piece definitely makes sense.

3·4 months agoI love this.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Something that happened to you but no one believes you?
61·4 months agoWell, not 30 for me, but I’ve been rear ended driving ~5 times. Not even sudden stop issues or anything, like, literally sitting at a stop light and the next person just doesn’t stop and hits me.
One time was waiting for a train and a dude in a huge SUV slammed into me. They tried to offer me $200 cash to not report it to insurance, I said fuck off. Ended up being like a $12,000 repair and they literally said, “fuck you” on the phone to me with the insurance agents on the line.

15·4 months agoYou’re really tempting me to roll potatoes down roads…
…but also if I caused a wreck I’d feel really bad.
