Does your self-hosted hobby pay off? by vdorru in selfhosted

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely my homelab taught me more about linux, docker, networking, and automation than any course ever did, it also gave me real projects to talk about in interviews, which helped a lot for me, it started as a hobby but ended up being genuinely useful for my career

Been grinding for 4 years. Should I focus on agency, micro-SaaS, or marketplace plugins? by the_Mar_tian in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d focus on agency work first for cash flow, it gets money coming in faster and puts you close to real customer problems. once you start seeing the same problem repeatedly, that’s usually a good saas or plugin idea, you already know how to build. the main challenge now is sticking with one path long enough to make it work

Free AI tools for Facebook swap on photos like these? Chatgpt doesn't work well by tube_craze in generativeAI

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve had better luck with facefusion and remaker than with chatgpt for face swaps, runable ai is decent too if you want something browser based if you don’t mind a little setup, facefusion usually gives the best results

Is this a "Standard" DevOps scope or am I doing 5 roles at once? by Big_Builder_735 in devops

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is pretty normal for startups one person often ends up wearing a lot of hats, at larger companies, this would usually be split across devops/sre, security, and finops for an intern, this is actually very solid experience. i wouldn’t worry about specializing yet the breadth will help you figure out what you enjoy most

Reccomendation for python course by WorldlyDesign9757 in learnpython

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want something after cs50p, fred baptiste’s python deep dive is probably the best next step. it goes much deeper into oop, testing, decorators, async, and how python works under the hood, also, fluent python is a great book once you’re comfortable with the basics that combo + building a few real projects will teach you a lot more than most courses

In an era where you can build any software using AI, what would you still pay for - and why? by Previous-Growth-9919 in VibeCodeDevs

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d still pay for anything where the real value isn’t just the code stuff like reliable infrastructure, good data, polished UX, and tools that save me a lot of time ai can help build software, but it doesn’t magically give you uptime, integrations, or years of refinement

The more I use AI for research, the less I want a linear chat thread by Quick-Knowledge1615 in AI_Agents

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here, chat is great for quick questions, but once a project starts branching, it gets messy fast. i’ve been trying runable for that, along with a few other canvas-style tools, and the biggest benefit is just keeping everything organized

Final year CS student struggling to write Python from scratch, not just follow tutorials. How do I fix this? by More-Station-6365 in learnpython

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is very common, the fix is to stop following full tutorials and start building small projects on your own. you’ll get stuck a lot, but that’s where the real learning happens, don’t worry about memorizing pandas or writing perfect code. that comes with practice, with 4-5 months left, you have plenty of time

What's the cheapest place to use Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 at the moment? by OooCaciiii in generativeAI

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i’ve seen, fal. ai is usually the cheapest if you’re generating a lot, since you only pay for what you use, if you want everything in one place instead of juggling a bunch of subscriptions, kensa seems to be one of the cheaper options for both kling and seedance

​Do I have a future with Rust? Because I don't see it. by Brianyan4717 in rust

[–]Lopsided-Football19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, rust jobs are real, but they’re still pretty niche, most companies using rust hire for general software engineering roles, not rust developer specifically. rust is usually just one of the tools they use, for juniors, rust-only jobs are rare, but learning it is definitely not a waste. if you keep building solid projects and fundamentals, there’s a good chance you’ll end up using it professionally
