@slimjimmy_dev@onehappyfellow And fwiw, I am mostly self taught with a software degree later on. For entry level, I think open the gates and let a varied group in. Those that show their worth, stay. That is how I got my first job.
@slimjimmy_dev@onehappyfellow I know someone who worked his butt off for a cs degree, and was screened out and told to go to a boot camp. For an entry level job.
@svpino My company built a file format translator using an llm. Both file formats were well known. The translation worked 80% of the time. I was scoffed at when I said we didn't need ai for this problem.
@Kristi3King@middle_class_us I have seen cs grads being told that they do not have enough experience for an entry level job, and they should go to a boot camp-- as if the degree means less than a 6 month certificate. Meanwhile, h1b buddies that cheat on the interviews get the job.
@BluesFanRants@chriskerber Nobody in Missouri is enforcing license place laws. You can go to any parking lot full of cars and have dozens of: expired tags, missing front plate, no plates at all.
Today's AI head scratcher. System A has fields b, c, and d that are required and well known. System B needs this data and also uses b, c, and d for its naming. AI to the rescue! Have LLM analyze data in System A and produce json for System B. So easy, and it works 90% of time.
@slimjimmy_dev You went through some sucky stuff, but you spoke up for your family member and the regret would have been tough had you not done so -- even with the time that had passed. Be proud that you pulled through that tough time.
@clawrence@InvalidReturn No. Nobody wants ethanol other than those who are selling it. We have no choice but to c9nsume it since it is added to gasoline. See how e85 vehicles turned out to get the true consumer sentiment.
