  • you’ve clearly never had the sort of job she’s talking about.

    I have. These people act like “sending a text outside of work hours to a boss” is such a heavy lift, while their time in the office is often spent just throwing wrenches into already working machinery.

    What is a “new exciting service” that Walmart has provided? Nothing. All this woman does is spend time in meetings with other execs trying to figure out ways to increase their bottom line (read: bonuses) and pass the work of doing that off on people who then have to handle the weight of making these ideas of theirs a reality.

    As others have said, the C-suite is the most replaceable use-case for AI. Just people that throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.



  • BUT I’m not sure I’m comfortable opening Jellyfin to the internet, even behind nginx, and I don’t want to have to spend time setting things up for them or troubleshooting their issues w/ Jellyfin. I put enough labor into this thing already.

    This is still where I’m at too. It’s a great service, but the fear of messing something up when opening it up to the internet is too worrying. I’m usually pretty good picking up new tech with easier setups, but when there are 4 different networking techniques with their own pros and cons, at that point it’s just easier to just run as a local service.



  • I often say “that number again is,” but I had to find someone in here that knows how to do it right. First number let’s them know you’re hitting them with the deets. The second pause is crucial. Gives them the chance to write down the first numbers before having to remember the last ones.






  • I can look at the “code” it generated and know what it was trying to do, and then write it correctly. I do find AI useful when I’m not sure how to go about solving a particular code-related issue, but … it just gives me something to think about, not an answer I can use directly.

    So glad to see others that do that. Still haven’t really tried to understand what vibe coding is, as I try and ignore passing terms, but I was starting to think it was just using the AI assistants in any way. I use it in the same way as you and find it perfectly fine for that purpose but I can’t imagine using it for anything more.
