At my first job at a bearing manufacturer in Indiana we had some critical internal sites running on a 13 year old workstation and we didn't know it until the guy retired and someone turned off his computer lol

so the question is:

was fixing that problem more or less work than 13 years of fuckin around with poo poo like ansible and terraform?

i wonder how people would become farmers before computers were invented? Were there like steam engine dudes who were like "I am so tired of all this steam bullshit, I'm just gonna be a farmer instead."

if i could get paid deecee six figgies to be an assistant to a real farmer id quit tomorrow

i think there's a distinction to be made here between actual farmers and "gentleman farmers" which is to say people who run farms as a hobby because they dont need to live off the money they make selling okra or whatever

are they worse than the CS departments run by people who refuse to acknowledge the fact that a CS degree is almost all vocational training?

its a lot better now but i every now & then I still see interns from colleges that will spend a year talking about computability and proofs of correctness and I ask them to commit to version control and they're like "version control?"

idk man how much time do you want to spend explaining that there are other data formats besides csv

probably about as much time as you want to spend explaining why this new prolog tool just isn't gonna work in the toolchain

I once saw someone serve a static website using Lambda functions and that sounds pretty ok (a series of S3 buckets with maybe some fancy routing) in reality it was lambda that was dynamically rendering all the html

hahahaha

now render all the icons via some dall-e invocation

if someone hasn't done a filter where you render a web page but replace all the images by dall-e renderings of their alt-txts, please do
