Yep, I’ve experienced both, although I do admit that I prefer working from home…

If you want a computer programming job with them then yeah definitely.

People who are pro-AI seem so weird and dystopian, people who are anti-AI seem logical and reasonable, but my employer requires us to use AI, and I’ve even been forced to work on multiple AI projects recently. It does seem it’s unavoidable unfortunately, but honestly Copilot has given me some of the most useful autocompletions I’ve ever had, especially for tedious things like logging, and I’ve had good luck with ChatGPT assisting with tedious things as well like writing both scaffolding and queries. Considering all of that, I’m torn on AI. I am afraid of the consequences of AI, the fallout of all of it, but I also do find AI/LLMs useful in my day-to-day job and I’m required to use them for my day-to-day job as well.

Yeah I was a bit surprised too, they even told me how well I did during the interview and how I was getting stuff right that most of their candidates get wrong, and they made it seem like I should expect an offer from them. I think the dealbreaker was that I hadn’t worked with message brokers before.

I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.

How is that better? If you configure your firewall rules incorrectly, this protects you against that. This ensures you have no connection if your VPN isn’t on/isn’t working.

I mean he already addressed that in his video to be fair lol

Always make sure that QBT uses your VPN’s network interface. I got some DMCA emails despite split-tunneling a VPN recently, and I realized it was bound to all interfaces by default - that’s no good.

How so? They work fine on me between laptop and desktop, phone and desktop, etc.

It really isn’t. You don’t even need to port forward, you can use AnyDesk or TeamViewer or any other option entirely for free.

Where are they going? There’s no way it’s Linux, right? So I guess it’s Mac?

Well yeah, they have to hoard your advertising data somehow. How else can they advertise things that you don’t need to buy?

You’re right, I’m an abuse enabler because I made an observation about companies being shitty. Very well said.

Saying “You’re not alone” is supposed to be a wholesome thing to show someone that you care. Instead, it’s AI companies squeezing as much data out of customers and injecting as much AI into everything they can.

Society really took a wrong turn didn’t it?

Just unfortunate timing I would think lol

Great minds think alike I guess.

Is he wrong though?

I think that’s something they have, yeah. It’s kind of unheard of to me. I can only imagine public servants like librarians or library assistants getting stalked, harassed, etc because their info is publicly available for anyone to access.

Yet they will never be replaced, sadly.

They get all of the credit and none of the blame.

That’s pretty much how it goes yeah lol

I’d actually argue enterprise is more likely for people to switch, there’s a lot of Linux sysadmins out there, and there’s a lot of Linux in enterprise environments, and of course especially servers.

Unless you have specific requirements for specific software that runs only on Windows, getting away from Microsoft can be a pretty tempting prospect. Even if there are people who fear change and the idea of change like the plague.
