I came today from Reddit. Think i'm here for good. This feels magical.

Back in the day, we used to have "post2host" forums, where you could get VPS servers for free just by being active in the forum. That's where I cut my teeth on Linux!

Without that, 10 years ago, I would not have my career today. I am thankful.

This! Selfhosting your own small apps is the best way to get practical, hands on experience with Linux administration.

This is a good take. All of programming is ultimately just tools to solve a problem, and if we don't have domain knowledge, we can't effectively solve the problems that we set out to in the first place.

Really hit the nail on the head about the "invisible decisions" which happen like the quality vs quantity with sails.

I've been using ChatGPT at work quite a bit now. Some of the things I've used it for are:

  1. Writing a shell script that scrapes some information about code modules and shows them neatly
  2. Minor automation scripts that setup and make my day to day docker workflow easy
  3. Writing random regex, sql, lua pattern matching functions
  4. It turned out to be surprisingly good at creating code examples for certain undocumented APIs (kong.cache, kong.worker_events, kong.cluster_events) in Kong API Gateway.
  5. Copy pasting a rough python automation script, converting it into Go, and adding it in the application itself.

I still don't feel comfortable using it for anything big.
