get good at code reviewing and, unfortunately, spend time on linkedin. subscribe to tech bros in your area and when they start posting their usual slop and AI bullshit make comments calling them out. Managers and owners of other companies, especially startups, will see this and contact you for help. Because all these startups and small tech companies are ALL following the tech bros in linkedin and when they read your comments calling said tech bro an idiot, why whatever their pushing won't work and how it's going to hurt businesses in the long run they'll want to get in touch with you to fix/tell them what they've done wrong to avoid the stuff you were calling tech bro out on.
I mean it's so damn simple. None of these companies are going to advertise or actively look for help/a position to fix their stuff because they're either embarrassed they fucked up or they don't want their investors finding out they fucked up. So they call in me, the cleaner, like Harvey Keitel from Pulp Fiction.
I was a freelance/contract dev that over a year ago transitioned to a sort of code review for AI/LLMs type deal with companies. I make more money doing this than dev work. Essentially I review the slop that their vibe coders churn out and tell them how it's not going to work and everything that's wrong with it and then 9 times out of 10 suggest a complete rebuild without utilizing AI.
that's it. that's all I'm doing now. I have so much more free time and I'm making way more than I was previously. Majority of my new clients come from linkedin via tech bro posts.
I thought the exact same thing when I watched the OSW Review of RE8 the other day. I thought it was still like a few months to a year away....then again it always seems like that with RE. I mean hell feels like 8 didn't come out all that long ago.
Welp looks like I can FINALLY put down Mewgenics for something else this weekend.
this is like text book definition of Anthropic. they ONCE had a great LLM, it was reliable, great solutions, Claude Code was pretty good.
now? it's all garbage. all of it. Sonnet 4.6 hasn't improved a damn thing. If you use Code you're literally shooting yourself in the foot now.
All it knows how to do now is hallucinate. that's it. They should pivot Claude to being a creative writing LLM because man it's FANTASTIC at making stuff up and making it sound believable.
This really shouldn't be recent news to anyone. it's been like this since day one of vibe coding. It's all exploitable, none of it scales, and the "vibe coders" have zero clue how any of it works when it comes out the other end of the AI. none of them. and anyone that tells you otherwise is lying.
It's not a "growing blind spot" it's a blind spot that has always been there. And it happens with all companies even large ones like Amazon. look what happened with the AWS outages. hell you can even go on youtube and watch people who work at Amazon and you'll quickly realize these kids have no idea what the hell they're doing. I've followed one guy for the past year who documents his on calls with Amazon and this kid hasn't learned a single thing. He doesn't know what he's doing but will proudly tout how Amazon "helps" those that are laid off. The kid still gets tickets at 1am and has no clue how to fix the stuff and just hands it off to another team in the morning. he's been doing this for over a year!
So of course this stuff is going to go unchecked because the ones who are supposed to monitor it don't know what they're doing.
I like retro computing so I have one computer that has Niri themed like Windows 98, also have Plasma on it themed the same way. then I have another that has Sway themed like the Apple II.
Bunkers just prove yet again the short term mindset of the wealthy. they're useless. They hold off death for a brief period of time. Eventually though you need to leave said bunker of which we kill you on exit OR you go the hitler route.
These idiots honestly believe if they throw themselves in one we're not just going to camp the outside?
you mean the social network whose CEO told users to simply stop posting on their platform when she refused to ban a publicly known racist and transphob from the platform? that social network? The social network whose users decided segregating themselves was the best way to use said platform? that one?
Bluesky is a joke and its userbase are the punchline.
sounds like me this past week when my external SSD decided to finally crap out on me. running around the house plugging it into multiple devices to make sure it was dead.
my guy out of ALL the illegal shit he's done you honestly thought THIS was the thing that would stop him? no. He has literally killed children. He could do it on live TV right now and nothing would happen to him. He could round up all the people he doesn't like, go on fox news, and put a gun to the back of each of their heads and pull the trigger on live TV and nothing would happen.
You're in a fascist dictatorship. Laws don't apply to fascist dictators. he's murdered and raped people, children even, he rigged the last election, he has a gestapo that kills american citizens with zero consequences, he has concentration camps.
There's only 3 ways he's going to be stopped, only 3.
the Military coups
the US people rise up and storm the capital
he dies. and this option is the worst because they'll just replace him with someone younger and worse.
Plasma has improved A LOT in the past year. Like a year ago I hated it. now? I daily drive it. I hate to use this phrase but everything just works.
I was kinda disappointed with the 6.6 release as I really just want dedicated virtual desktops per monitor but their compromise actually isn't that bad. I just had to turn off animation for changing workspaces and it's fine. Even tiling works A LOT better on Plasma than it used to and dare I saw kinda works better/is more smooth than Sway and the like and I'm not even using krohnkite. you can quickly toggle the splits for windows and even do vim style navigation between windows. you can even do vim navigation with windows that aren't tiled.
Plus the stuff they have packaged in is just better than most alternatives out there. I love Konsole. it has everything I need. and Kate is also a fantastic IDE you can REALLY customize that is slept on by many people. Dolphin is great too. It's nice having a DE that just has all the stuff you need right out of the box and you don't really have to change any of the defaults.
so does this dude just do things based purely on jokes that Obama makes? Obama makes a joke, he runs for president. Obama has a viral clip of him joking about aliens existing, he now wants to release info about them to yet again distract.
it's a shame too because I figured Peertube would be a haven of decent linux content but it isn't. I can't find anything on there worth watching.
