who woulda thought that building a skillset at the hw/sw interface would yield such job security in the age of token spitting LLMs

My attempts at using ChatGPT for embedded have not yielded stellar results. No substitute for reading the datasheet. 😀

there's something not right with python
just the arrogance of it

i decided to give up rustlang, please respect my privacy at this time

@ptr_to_joel being a dad motivated me into sobriety and skill acquisition that I would have scoffed at 5 years ago.

when you become a parent, your brain is only in one mode:

men, is this true? 🧐

ok so this guy's bit is just saying stupid shit right? engagement farming?
kache@yacineMTB
this EE shit is so much easier than computer science lmao

i got this really fucked up doubly linked list problem in an interview that I couldn't solve and it bugged me so much that I just rehashed the most common linked list problems and concepts into my brain over the last few hours
spite is a powerful motivator
English
@AdamRackis so easy. nullbeach.com is hosted there. I am not a web dev and even my dumbass could figure out how to deploy a rust back-end via docker container. "it just works"
English
I was really nervous about an interview I had this morning but my fundamental knowledge of DATA STRUCTURES came through. I was really nervous about getting hit with some terrible leetcode gotcha variation on a theme but ultimately the DS part of DS&A was the key to success today.
English
@GrunerMonzon You're so right, it's a pain in the ass. I think sometimes we engineers become desensitized to crappy DX. What ends up happening is investing time in some custom scripting/flow to make it smoother. It's ok for me, bc I like to tinker - but maybe we can do better as an industry.
English
@nullbeach I ultimately blame the DX. Having an env properly setup for a debugger is hard: everything built with symbols, optimizations disabled, suppression files, etc... Getting a debugger to be useful is probably more time consuming for them than troubleshooting with prints.
English
I have no idea how these people solve complex bugs in a convoluted system without a debugger. I come from an embedded/OS background, there's no way I'm going to printf myself out of a corner. It has its place, and is a great way to find out where you need to set a breakpoint lol
trav@techsavvytravvy
it's a new era of slop specialists; output optimizers. there is no "domain expertise," only grind and ship. i don't use a debugger regularly, but they aren't as easily replaced by print statements once you're dealing with lower level code or multithreading.
English
I have a lot of terrifying but exciting interviews coming up. I never feel quite prepared enough but I can only try my best.
English
it sucks ass. these people talking about replacing engineers are brain-dead. I'll give credit - chatGPT certainly replaced Stack Overflow for me personally. Copilot makes inserting logging statements a one-button breeze. complex logic? gtfoh it doesn't work.

i try so hard to like and use ai but its so fucking consistently wrong and mid all the fucking time.
English
way sick.

We (and I cannot stress this enough) are so back. Jumperless V5 lets you prototype like a nerdy wizard that can see electricity and conjure jumpers wherever you want. And the wait is nearly over for this particular superpower, it launches September 23rd on @crowd_supply.
English
When someone who's been interacting with #Linux for over 20 years starts talking, I listen.
A fascinating discussion that starts with #dbus and ends with thoughts on the future of utilities like #systemd and other systems software that should probably be written in #rustlang.
Last few touches to go, then the episode should appear in your podcast app later today. timclicks.dev/feed/podcast/c…
