#programmer
Time for an #Introduction post. I’m a #liveaboard #sailor (www.svloka.com) and full time #nomad who is also a #creative #artist. I play #guitar, #crochet, paint (#watercolor & #acrylic), and draw #penandink. I love #yoga and use #meditation to manage my #anxiety. Got #sober in 2020.
I am a recovering #softwareengineer (#programmer) and #ITmanager. I focused a lot on #leadership & effective #communication, and I still enjoy #mentoring people on those topics. I still tinker with tech on occasion.

@VikingChieftain I am not a #programmer, but a #sysadmin who needs, appreciates, and even enjoys #technical #writing.
I write as if the person on the other end is unfamiliar with the technology at hand. When finished reading, not only do they understand the concepts, they can complete the task successfully the first time.

It's not always easy and does require #empathy.

I don't use #LLMs in my daily #coding, and I don't want to. It is my impression that in this regard they are good for two things:
1. Inspiration if you are stuck on a problem.
2. API / SDK help.
I do not want to see LLM generated code in a pull request, just like I do not want to see code pasted directly from Stack Overflow. The job of a #programmer is to know what is being put into the code and have an opinion on how problems should be solved, and the best way to achieve this is to write the code yourself.
When you do use code generated from machine learning, you should be extremely suspicious about it to ensure it's doing what you expect it to. My habit from Stack Overflow is to type in the code myself to make sure I go over all of it.
plus this course seems like exactly the kind of book I’d hand over to a #programmer that hasn’t moved beyond basic programs in JS or Python or C# or Java https://cs3110.github.io/textbook/cover.html
There's no point in fighting over languages, even if, according to you, that language is dumb (nonsensical).
No single Turing-complete language solves every problem. Some excel at math and symbolic computation, others at parallel computing, some are general-purpose, and others prioritize performance.
If you want, keep piling on features and libraries for your favorite language.

I'm a #Programmer/#SoftwareEngineer. I'm most fluent in #Python, have some basics in #Java and #C++, but I'm also taking up new languages like #Javascript and others in my eternal journey of getting better and minimising the impostor syndrome that befalls pretty much all programmers (I feel). I'm also very experienced in #CloudNative/#DevOps technologies, and have been the one devising solutions and maintaining infrastructure in a fast-paced startup environment in my previous employment.
I'm passionate in what I do and those that know me here or IRL would know that I'm always yapping about the things I'm learning or working on - I love discussing them, and I love helping people out - esp those on the same boat as me.
This passion has led me into writing and maintaining tons of #FOSS projects like Mango: a content distribution framework based on #Django for #Mastodon and #Bluesky that powers various bots of mine like @lowyat@mastodon.social and @waktusolat@mastodon.social, Charts: a #Helm chart repository for an easy and reproducible deployment strategy for all my projects and everything else I self-host on my #homelab, and Orked: O-tomated #RKE2 distribution, a collection of scripts I wrote that are comprehensively documented to enable everyone to self-host a production-grade #Kubernetes cluster for absolutely free in their homes.
I'm based in Malaysia, but I'm open to just about any on-site, hybrid, or remote job opportunities anywhere. In the meantime though, I'm actively looking for a job in countries like #Japan and #Singapore, in a bid for a desperate lifestyle change. I've linked below my Portfolio (which you too, could self-host your own!), for those who'd wish to connect/learn more of me. Thank you

"You can’t be on the social web without being social"
That's basically what I say to those who say they're not getting any #engagement on #Mastodon... but also everything they #post is all #business! Don't just be a #programmer, or a #founder, be a PERSON. I have some #followers from posting about #tech, and I have some followers from posting about #Maths, but also some who just liked what I #boost or what I said when I replied to someone about something else altogether, like now! 
I made a bunch of stickers.
Put on your mohawk and pread some love.

This is up to us.
The idea that a general #AI can give you good answers or write well researched emails or papers for you is an illusion. #Deepseek demonstrates AI can lie, equivocate, prevaricate, and mislead. AI can rewrite history.
How does this work?
- Programming to catch what can't be said in the output or in prompt parsing. #GenAI bans on sexualized images are an example.
- Curate the training input to leave out inconvenient information so it never appears in output.
- Pollute the AI training with fabricated incorrect information, or target misinformation.
- Program the AI to prefer certain biased information.
In other words, AI parents can raise their AI children to be as bigoted and biased as they are, and pass them off as pure, innocent, and logical or empathic.
No. AI are pattern matching algorithms. Tools.
Thinking that at this point they're a substitute for you learning to write, think, and know facts is absurd. Be horrified seeing an AI can do #propaganda, not inspired. Don't trust AI output, and if you must use an AI, fact check carefully so you're neither made a fool or a convenient idiot.
