tokin opposition posted:Finished my PowerShell script and somehow it works. Gonna send it to the greybeard to see if he has any tips and look into error catching. Legit sad I didn't have time to finish it today but I've already got like two hours of time to flex off next week. I feel the "Somehow it works" with powershell big time. I spent most of my time learning a fair amount of it throughout the week because we had nothing better to do. My goal is pretty simple, I'm just making a GUI so people can input data, it'll check for if a folder is made and if not it'll make it using the serial code + today's date. Also as an update, I spoke to my boss yesterday about what I mentioned in my last post regarding the problems with our IAM/really slow rollout of necessary equipment to do our job. We don't seem to know *who* our IT department is and he's never even met any of them in the three years he's been at this place. Turns out all of our requests get sent to an e-mail address remote that's just <company_name_IT@domain.com>. Not even as a support ticket, just an e-mail. So.. yeah, it's hard to tell if there's even a road to hoe here, let alone if we can change anything.

Being sincere and talking like a Real Human Person goes far too so far as it’s not someone Corporate poisoned.

thewizardofshoe posted:Are you sure there IS an IT department? Not even a little bit sure. My source on that is we have neighboring division that does intake on cisco products for configuration and deployment and when the network went down they all left because it turns out they're our first responders for network issues. So we're both a combination of our own IT department but we also don't do our own domain configuration? The more pieces I put together the worse this all seems. That said it's pretty easy for a first job right now, but I'm already kind of planning to look onward after some more time. Our management is questionably incapable as well, I like my co-workers and boss a lot at least.

tokin opposition posted:I wish there was a "show me the webpage you stole this from" button Yeah, this. I want the context. I want the discussion. I do not want an LLM to go with the most commonly posted code when it gives me an answer. Why? Which is there more of on the Internet, code posted to get help with it, or code posted to provide an answer? I'm assuming that Gitlab and other flavors of CoPilot have a way to exclude the "this doesn't work, why?" code from the answers they give. Anybody know how coding specific LLMs differentiate between good and bad code in their answers?

Just saw a tweet from someone talking about how GitHub copilot gave them a wrong answer and it was so convincing that it took a few hours that it merely looked like the solution they wanted rather than actually being the solution. So, yeah.

I was quite good at talking to end users when I did more direct support, and as I moved into a more systems engineering role I could still talk to our internal "customers" for lack of a better term, but I've been tripping all over myself navigating the internal organizational politics for the last few years. Ironically, my reputation as a straight shooter that's been so helpful with "customers" is I think a big part of what's been tripping me up internally. poo poo sucks.
