  • There is actually a lot more to this: a lot of people in the it sec crowd have been saying for many years that this habit of the gibberish passwords with symbols capitals and whatnot is actually a net deficit in security. Mostly because for the longest time people had to mostly remember all passwords and the policies for rotation were to aggressive (which lead to “lazy” changes). Nowadays unfortunately we still have people that inherited this thinking and still enforce this, but you also see a lot of people understanding that pass phrases are a lot better (of course should not be a predictable phrase like good morning, but it is possible to make it much better with way less effort)










  • You may be correct but I’ve seen this work out before. You say you take x days, manager mentions " but that guy says he takes y days!!" in which makes you either slow in comparison or the other guy is a liar or makes stuff sloppy. Then you say " from my experience is x days" in which either the manager says you’re wrong or he goes to the other guy to do in y days, and when you look at the thing done in y days has a technical debt equivalent to the height of Niagara falls. And you know you will have to clean this later. At some point I walked away, sometimes managers just want a yes man, and I am straight up not that.

    I see a lot of people dog pilling on the down votes and getting all rilled up on someone that did try and unfortunately did not make things work. Why? Did is the sort of behavior that drove me away from linux many years ago (I am back with fedora and things work quite better since then). When you are ready to help out and/or be more understandable then things improve. Until then, you are creating moats with people you didn’t even met or understand.



  • What we are seeing right now is a massive backlash on how llms got advertised and subsequent effects (I mean, did you see the price of ram lately?). The thing is, if this got advertised and grew in a responsible manner, all of this would not exist. We would have most people evaluating llms as tools instead of being the anti Christ. It is a shame, but it is what we have. Also, I do think llms will be better in the future, but much smaller than what we have now (and more local as well).
