  • If I’d Only Known I Wouldn’t Have Wasted So Much Of My Potential Club.

    I’m in this club but very much trying to leave, because I’m starting to realize “wasted potential” in itself is a toxic idea that’s been ingrained by years of teachers telling me this (with my parents doing their best to counter). That’s not to say I’m not still trying to do my best, I am, but only because I want to and because it makes me happy.


  • I agree with the overall sentiment, but I’d like to add two points:

    1. Everyone starts off as a code editor, and through a combination of (self-)education and experience can become a software engineer.

    2. To the point of code editors having to worry about LLM’s taking their job, I agree, but I don’t think it will be as over the top as people literally being replaced by “AI agents”. Rather I think it will be a combination of code editors becoming more productive through use of LLMs, decreasing the demand for code editors, and lay people (i.e. almost no code skills) being able to do more through LLMs applied in the right places, like some website builders are doing now.


  • Even though I haven’t run anything Debian based as a daily driver in about a decade, I still recommend Debian based distro’s to beginners. With Ubuntu being so widespread it just makes sense, because whenever you search for “how do I install xyz on linux” it’s going to be a guide for Ubuntu 99% of the time, which should work on other Debian based distro’s most times.

    And much before that it was rule-based machine learning, which was basically databases and fancy inference algorithms. So I guess “AI” has always meant “the most advanced computer science thing which looks kind of intelligent”. It’s only now that it looks intelligent enough to fool laypeople into thinking there actually is intelligence there.
