A lot of people think more jobs overall will be created from this. I sort of agree. However, our day to day has changed so much. The problems that I found fulfilling to solve are now handed off to LLMs, but at the same time I can build the things I want to build easier and faster. There are tradeoffs for sure. I'm trying to stay positive though.
> A lot of people think more jobs overall will be created from this.
Be sure to distinguish between "jobs" and "good jobs" (that are enough to survive and even prosper on). Jobs that pay pittances can be created til the cows come home.
I think it will create a lot of jobs (overall) that pay twice the median wage.
The fact that some of those jobs would have paid 3-5x the median wage in 2021 isn’t a scathing indictment of AI, even if it’s inconvenient for the slice of the world who could have made 4x the median wage and now only makes double it.
Yeah, there are conflicting views in the industry about whether LLM's will make more jobs overall or kill off jobs. The ostentatiously virtuous thing is the ability for developers to make software faster.
I've built some tools that genuinely help me manage my life tasks that improve my quality of life irl, but a lot of stuff I've built has been built to allow me to build more things like itself faster... And I ask myself, for what? Haha
yeah like I've used AI to build me app to automate editing short clips which would have taken me a long time to make, if I coded them by myself. This is good but then it make you question why a software firm would hire you or keep you if there is a tool that can do this.
I think this depends on the individual you're asking, I mean if you can prompt you can build right. Though the way I see it is a developer is someone who can leverage AI to help them complete tasks more efficiently then if they were doing those tasks manually like system design and architecture or finding bugs much faster than a professional developer could.
Even when I'm not using Docker to deploy something, I'm _probably_ using oci images at the least, but I'm generally running my local dev stack with Docker compose. Not always, but I use it in a lot of projects.
Nah I thought their setup was pretty ridiculous and seemed hard to maintain. I run all my stuff via docker compose and am very happy with it. I don't understand the comments praising single go binaries, which I've actually seen reach out to the docker engine api and start containers for their dependencies
I see people say the same things in threads discussing open source agent harness repos that are MIT licensed. I don't understand how it isn't obvious to them at that point haha. I don't think people realize they can just... do whatever they want to
>How do you declare the dependencies though? The unit file only covers starting the process.
That's not really true anymore. I can understand why you might not be familiar with declaring systemd dependencies as it's a fairly new thing. Don't blink or you might miss it.
Check out the article[0] below, it just came out...in 2015.
It's been really interesting seeing the divide in the comments! I have a completely different philosophy from the OP on how to self host haha, and it comes from not wanting to fiddle with my server all the time! But they say our ci/cd is fiddly! The whole point of it is to NOT be fiddly! People gotta start figuring out how things work instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall.
