@landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place That might be the time spent fixing when a bug is found and attributed to AI sloppiness (things like going off on a tangent and not building the thing it was supposed to, or providing a fake/constant result somewhere). Not including bugs not found, or bugs found and ignored. But 3-5 hours per month sounds like an underestimate. Possibly he was fed optimistic numbers that don't conflict too much with the boss' great idea for improving productivity.

RE: @phocks@bne.social

So much of stack overflow now has old and outdated answers where better answers to the same question exist but have not been recorded as such. But SO is/was not a wiki that people tend to like a garden. At best, someone years later figures out a new answer and adds it on a question, but it takes a while to percolate above an earlier answer as "better, now." One thing that probably contributed to the toxicity was the drive to mark questions as duplicates, at if the site was a wiki. And that frustrated people when two questions are similar but still different by just a slight nuance.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party You are not alone, and thank you for finding the words. A lot of people, senior in their careers, feel like this. Also hard like a gut-punch to have prospective and curious students ask questions about a profession that is getting upheaved. What should we tell them? Stay away? They are embers and oxygen is getting sucked out of the room.

@fabs@mastodon.gamedev.place I really love the line, "like claiming you know how to cook when your culinary expertise only stretches to five different ways to make eggs on toast."

What's up with ubuntu dot com websites like the packages catalog? Seems unresponsive, or responds with 403 or 500 errors. Tried on a totally different networks, seems like a "them" problem. DDOS again? Or is this just the world we live in now? #ubuntu

So if you had to rebuild a Grafana container image as part of a k8s or docker compose cluster in the last month, and you were using "latest" as the base image, you may have found out that the Prometheus plug-in is now not built in to the image, and the container needs outbound Internet access to fetch it.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social I, an elder millennial, played the game SimCity 2000 in my youth. We knew about this back then: https://simcity.fandom.com/wiki/Microwave_(disaster)

@forty2@oldbytes.space I've been stalking old iron drills like that one for a few years. Whenever a good deal pops up, I never have the time to snag it or the room in the garage to rehab it.
