I'd probably take this suggestion, just to see where its going with this. (I know there's no design behind these suggestions, but it's funny).

I've been using copilot for a while to know it'll be something like timeBottom and timeTop.

But if anyone's getting this recommendation there's probably not much code in that file or the code is trash. Garbage in, garbage out.

Cannot wait for this AI trash to become illegal and all these damn companies stealing tons of information against all known copyright laws to feed their half-assed AI garbage that outputs laughable results at best are forced to suddenly backtrack on their "LOL AI IS THE FUUUUUUTUUUUUREEEEE" bullshit.

Lol where do I find the source photo of the elephant?

I don't think I would hire someone who regularly posts on LinkedIn.

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

LinkedIn is for posting a link to your resume. Unless you own a business or are a sales monkey, it's a waste of time.

Can you type words? Congrats! You are now a Prompt Engineer!

[–] bbuez@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Make sure to check LinkedIn daily using Ctrl+shift+alt+win+L for better job opportunities! Keep using chatGPT and you may just win an unpaid internship at microsoft!

I had no idea about this and it kinda grosses me out.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

it's for the official Office keyboard.
it comes wirh shortcuts to ms office stuff and was supposed to work without installing any software, so they bound them to an extremely long key combinations no one will trigger by accident and shipped the changes to all windows users.

also another fun fact: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win corresponds to the "Office" key, and hitting that combination will make Windows silently and automatically download and install the Microsoft/Office 365 App and launch it, even if it was previously removed

Wait, copilot and ChatGPT use are skills? Isn’t that a bit like how using a phone is a skill?

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol imagine hiring someone cuz they had used a Microsoft tool...smh

list of job requirements, including " - minimal java experience (ideally none) "

This but with "microsoft office" instead of java

So not only do they want AI to take your job - you also won't be able to get another job if you don't wholesale buy into this shit.

I love the future.

Don’t worry, every company was hiring anyone with DevOps on their resume just a couple years back. Now its AI. I’ve been on this train for far too long, and saw places that said they sold “X” and had no one on the team that even knew it. My last place asked me to demo a devops pipeline that was “zero touch” for developers (for a client) and were in shock with my demo “why don’t we sell this?!”… I’ve been here for 2 years, delivering this easy, low hanging fruit and you want to sell the concept as a service? Sigh….

I’ve added AI to my pipeline, for “code improvement analysis and quantitative risk”, it’s just as amazing as before. It’s just a shiny feature in the grand scheme of what AI could really do in real fields (medical, financials, etc), but it looks good on my resume and i’m getting hits on my linkedin, daily.

Lets just hope this time around, companies do some due diligence on hiring and we’re not where we are now, whenever the AI bubble pops. Hahahahahaha

The difference is, Devops isn't a bubble that everyone is waiting for to pop. I've been in that field for over ten years now, and properly implemented it is a net gain for everyone who does it. The reason companies are falling over themselves trying to hire 'Devops' is because they still haven't properly cottoned on to the concept but are afraid of falling behind. And yes, I can absolutely attest to the fact that Devops is a tough market to hire in at the moment, that there are a lot of places who don't have the first clue about what Devops really is, and - similarly to Agile - think they can add some buzzwords to their toolchain and call Bob their uncle. And there are a lot of candidates who somehow acquired a Devopsy title in all that chaos, but all their CVs have are tech buzzwords, and when you interview them they're clueless. That doesn't change the fact that Devops is a solid concept with high benefits for those who understand it.

AI, and more specifically GenAI and LLMs - is more like crypto, in the sense that people are trying to get rich from it without having the first clue what it is. It's this shiny new thing that everyone is rushing to get on board with, but I have yet to see someone propose a use case that actually makes sense, couldn't be implemented better without AI, and is a net gain for those using it. Right now it's all this nebulous bullshit, everyone just slaps their own coat of paint onto ChatGPT and calls it a day. Useful AI-adjacent concepts like Big Data and Machine Learning have been around for much longer than the tooling underpinning the current hype, and already have a lot of very valid use cases.

By the way, I work with a bunch of high aptitude Devops engineers and none of them are thinking about adding AI to our pipelines, not even to pad their CV.
