That one faggot pirate software was doing that. He was a Blizzard QA guy but would go on and on about QA being part of the dev team. Thus labeling himself a Blizzard game developer. He did this for the developer clout and to make himself look more intelligent. I would argue that most people in...

I am being way more lax with my completionist tendencies. I try to do everything then get bored and not move on. So I will be skipping various extra bosses like the Grymforge Golem, Spider Matriarch, and so on. I need to knockout my queen Minthara then help the tieflings. I did some stuff I...

I'll be getting my pirate on this weekend. If y'all are interested I will show you how to host this on AWS yourself. All of these server rental shops are just superimposed over the major cloud providers anyway.

It means whatever you want it to mean. Traditionally a developer was someone who writes code. For anything. This became a prestigious title which led to title inflation and other teams being jelly about not having this title. A few decades of that went by now you have QA claiming to be...

Only if your mom counts.

Hasn't been the case for me. I got the main things I had working quickly enough today but I need to figure out why Windrose won't play from Steam.

One thing I hate about Linux is that Fedora and others prompt you to update stuff but updating almost always breaks everything for awhile. So I am always loathe to do it. I updated today now I get to spend a few hours getting stuff that already worked... working again! Go linux!

This is indeed out tomorrow right?

In another episode of drama from my old job. One of my coworkers was fired in addition to my manager leaving a week after I did. The dude had been underperforming for awhile despite being totally technically capable of the work. He had performed before. No idea what happened to his work ethic...

COBOL itself isn't the issue. The problem is often the mainframe it runs on. GM had some when I worked there that ran their plants. The problem is that these mainframes don't run on some variant of Linux or something, they have custom operating systems that exist on dusty old manuals made by IBM...

The question is really about narrow context. AI does extremely well when the codebase produces a mobile app or something that is just running on a phone. AI does poorly when it has to handle sprawling dependencies. Take my work for example. The data platform is more of a philosophy than it is...

Arcane Archer is really strong. The banishment arrow is super helpful. I think I just need a few items to really make the class shine. Specifically that Titanstring bow. As I am running on Honor mode I am fighting like a total little bitch and keeping as much distance as possible. This is...

IT workers are welcome to post in here. You're the one talking about totally irrelevant nonsense, as nobody is talking about the traditional IT space but you. Your frame of reference is completely invalid for the current discussion. Carry on though.

Do you even read this thread? We don't really have any traditional IT workers posting in here. Not a single one. @Phazael is probably the closest to such a role but even that is a stretch. Traditional IT as in help desk on up to system admins and keeping the company functioning tech wise.

Dude, what industry do you work in exactly? You don't have call centers as you may think of them when you are paying hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for it. You call someone directly who is your point of contact. There are always chatbots for basic questions and things and those...

Tech Sales, Customer Experience, and the like are the least likely to be replaced by AI what are you smoking? This is especially true in tech sales. When you sell a $1M+/year product/SAAS service to a customer you bet your ass they expect to have a real person on beck and call. Big accounts...

I don't see AI doing that. As I have said before most companies have byzantine mazes of tech debt within their infrastructure. Systems of systems that are poorly understood by everyone working at the company. Many live services that are barely documented, if they are at all. Again following the...

This creates a problem though. If you don't hire junior devs to learn how do you get the superstar devs you want? Everyone has to start somewhere.

Absolutely. Leadership has not and may not ever realize that AI is an amazing productivity booster when you already know your desired output. You are just using AI to write it 50x faster than you could ever dream of doing. In addition to writing up docs and tests because that shit sucks and...

It feels good to know exactly what function in python,SQL,Java,C, etc to use to solve a given problem. Something something the journey is part of it.

What? A single prompt in Cursor is like 20k tokens. Even when asking a question about anything. For $20 you will have like 10M tokens. Minimum.

We'll see how far I get. I am playing 3,1,2 in that order of the series. I want to rob everyone like I did in my last run but even with Thief Astarion and the various sleight of hand buffs I don't want to risk it other than against the really safe NPCs to rob. I am running some mods so no...

Playing on Honor mode for the first time. It is actually really refreshing having to just roll with it and there is new stuff I didn't see coming. I have never finished a Dark Urge run so trying that out and it's more lol this way. I did not expect the double owlbear encounter and survived by...

If you do not become proficient in this stuff you will be left in the dust sooner or later.

Are you saying that you want AI to parse through logs for you and then do X when it finds Y? In cursor or claude the first thing you do is have it go over the repo and establish rules based on the patterns it sees. Then use this to create skills https://cursor.com/docs/skills Then use these...

Totally. I get to set AI workflow standards for this org so I am just now getting them in tune with it. We will be using Cursor as they already have a small footprint with it and I am the most familiar with it anyway. This manager prefers Claude Code but they don't even have it so we probably...

Wrapping up week two. I'm very glad that my manager started the same day I did. The overall org has heavily favored internal promotion. Which I am all about. This has resulted in many of their developers being fully self taught within the org and formerly salesman, analysts, client success, and...

I have some free time for once so I may get into this.

Even in the old games I believe one of the biggest problems was giving the PK types a "bandit town" where they could still do normal game stuff. I love the tabletop rpg idea of a bandit town of dastardly PKers and stuff what it does in a video game is give them safe harbor. Okay you locked them...

Lol what the fuck.

You don't need to be a retard to understand the ideal time to PVP someone is right after he engaged 3 mobs or is just questing. Even in OG WOW this was a huge complaint as the rogue class is of course perfectly suited to prey upon that situation. In EQ you just wait until they're alone, half...

Oracle laid off 30000 employees of it's workforce a few days ago I guess? https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmarkman/2026/04/06/oracles-massive-30000-layoff-as-ai-spending-surges/

I am firmly capable of talking to people. I also spent years making my own projects at my old job because I found deficiencies and corrected them. Which is how I ended up being the de facto head of product telemetry despite not even working on the product itself. As well as engineering the...

There is absolutely no way I am some super genius here. When I get some ticket I just do it. Often while reading web novels or something on the side and listening to music. I can't really believe that absolutely everyone half asses it to such a degree that I appear to be speedrunning.

Force non-consenual PVP faggots onto their faggot PVP server. That is the only way. Otherwise borrow another brilliant design decision in vanilla WoW. The Gurubashi Arena. You want to PVP and compete for some cool cosmetic thing? Fight to the death over it. Have fun, if you're into that. Have...

At the job I just left 40% of the ticket backlog for our team was me.

I have been at this new job for 1 week. Last week after onboarding until Wednesday I got 2 dev tickets. These didn't seem too difficult to me so I completed both of them by Friday. Getting them merged and pushed to production this morning and staff engineer takes me aside and tells me to pace...

Hostile pajeetification is soul draining. My wife left her last job for essentially the same reason you did. No private sale or anything the owners just hired a streetshitter CTO who did the usual. Fired a bunch of key leaders from the startup days and replaced them with more streetshitters then...

Say what you want but WoW got game feel just right. If you fire up the original V1 of the WOW Client (Turtle WoW runs this) it still feels good to play. Not talking nostalgia here or anything I mean the straight experience of just walking around in the game and the feel of the abilities and...
