Nice to see more Sysadmin type person such as myself out there! You seem to have great programming languages to back it up too. But I definitely miss the days when Linux Engineer was more of a main job. I've transitioned to Devops, but I definitely miss being more focused on scaling performance on bare metal, or VM's rather than moving everything to the cloud and everything being containers.
I almost took a job at NASA Ames with a veterans org that would have worked on a lot of the lander stuff. My career has done well, but I kinda regret not pursuing that further.Good luck going forward, don't have any work just wanted to say something when I saw a similar resume.
What about your AI not being able to understand answers exactly identical to its own? Or the 3 strawberry user you had to remove that had a 33333% success rate you didn't remove until I said something.
But I think the bigger thing is... Your supposed AI not understanding answers that are literally identical to the ones it considers correct. Pretty weak.
> the user competition is meant to be a fun side-project that we threw together today, I think it's cool that people hack things like that so quickly :)
The website comes off as a marketing strategy rather than a fun one-day hackathon project. I think that's why it's getting the reaction you're seeing.
Do you really think a useful bash script using ChatGPT prompts is worth blogging about? I'm genuinely asking. I've been wanting to start my blog back up I was always primarily a sysadmin, although I've had to move more into DevOps to keep with the times and instead of being more an SRE/sysadmin like I used to be I'm now DevOps meets sysadmin where I'm not helping write our companies application but I do everything else from CI/CD, monitoring, log dashboards, to creation of infrastructure using terraform, ansible etc.
So I don't want you to think my question was being sarcastic... I'm genuinely curious if you think this sort of thing would be a useful or interesting thing to blog about or only in the cases of a resume building thing?
I think this skill could save time in a very rushed business environment.
A while back I wrote a prompt to build a script that runs git-reflog to get a the list of distinct authors. After a few small tweaks I got it roughly working. This took about 1 hour. Writing it myself would have definitely taken multiple hours, especially having to learn the details of git-reflog.
But that said I think it's mainly resume-building. ChatGPT isn't going to overall transform our productivity.
I love baseball... But that is way to big of a blob of text without any proper breakdowns in there.
Baseball has been getting crazier and crazier in the last few years with umpires trying harder and harder to make the show about them. It's even more mind boggling to me that they're doing this when they're actively trying out tech to displace them. But their union is way too strong and it's going to be the downfall of them. The union needs to stop protecting 100% of the members and let the bad ones fall to the way side otherwise they're going to destroy the rest of them.
Unions are extremely important and deserve a place in our society. But unions that do not police their own... just like our own police need to be done away with.
My conspiracy theory is that the umpires are making the show about them to demonstrate their value as entertainment. The tech can call every pitch right, but if umpires make themselves a part of the show, that's job security.
And honestly, if that's the plan, it's kinda working on me. I want calls to be better (and the instant balls/strikes challenge sounds like a solid path), but I do appreciate the occasional argument.
This is the better question... But probably easily answered by his army of sycophantic followers who will parrot anything he says no matter how contradictory the statements may be.
