    God I wish I had gone into development instead of operations. It would be cool as hell to just decide to devote time to helping whatever software you like be better.

      Old dogs can learn new tricks. Picking up programming has never been easier. Everyone wants to act like ChatGPT is going to replace programmers, but in reality it is a great tool to walk you through projects and explain the how and why.

        Yeah, I just don’t have the time; full time+ infra job, 3 young children, two in baseball, a foster child, etc. I’m pretty solid with powershell/python/bash, but I’m sure anything I write would make an actual developer sick.

        Lemmy is gonna have to settle for my money.
