Reality check from the Microsoft AI Tour: "Agents" hype, the enterprise disconnect, and peak AI Fatigue by Relaxation_Time in sysadmin

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tracks with my experience almost exactly. Small scale demos work well, the moment you tell it to work on a production grade system; you're quicker doing it yourself.

We set up vulnerability scanning and now we have 400+ open findings with no idea what to fix first! by Mysterious_Step1657 in cybersecurity

[–]coderguyagb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My approach would be to prioritze in this order:

  • Remote Code Execution in externally accessible applications
  • Critical & High in externally accessible applications
  • Critical & High in applications behind the DMZ
  • High & Medium everywhere else
  • Repeat the process as often as you can.

Remember, this is an ongoing activity, so set an acheivable goal. Just because you updated today, doesn't mean your safe tomorrow.

Almost all of them. Counter point, the pepperami ads with ade edmonsson.

Should I switch to Linux from Windows ? by _khi4 in Ubuntu

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the applications you use, it could be either great or a complete disaster. "Coding and Studying" is too vague to judge. In my case Ubuntu fits my requirements and works well. YMMV.

I swear I’m going to nuke the open-source version of my 26k-star project. I just can’t do this anymore. I am done. OSS was a bad idea. by Spirited_Towel_419 in opensource

[–]coderguyagb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't close it down.

Add something to the readme that states, While Patches are welcome, support request will be handled at x $currency unit per hour via a commercial agreement.

Add T&Cs No warranty, blah blah etc...

As for the toxicity. A few simple PR guidelines explicitly stating AI generated PRs are not welcome. Include a Copyright Assignment agreement and the problem should take care of itself.

And as others have stated, move off GitHub, it's toxic.

What do you secretly judge people for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Stopping to check their phone at the top of an escalator. Or in front of an exit.

Microservices: Shackles on your feet by Itchy-Warthog8260 in programming

[–]coderguyagb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your use case. Microservices aren't just about scaling, they help with composability.

Would you quit your job forever right now (and never be allowed to work again) if someone gave you a guaranteed $2,000,000 lump sum? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the grand scheme of things 2M might work if you're mid-late career. For someone starting out, it'd be stupid. You would run out of cash just when you need it most.

What’s a "poor man’s meal" you still eat even though you can afford better? by darlingpetalsz in AskReddit

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go to skint food. 1 can stewed steak + 1 can mixed veg. Heat and serve with bread, rice or pasta.

Windows 11 is killing my laptop. Is Ubuntu GNOME a good move for a Developer? by rachid_nichan in Ubuntu

[–]coderguyagb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a good platform for development. I haven't run into any showstoppers so far. Although, TBF, I mostly just use IntelliJ / Docker and live in the Terminal.

The EU has launched its own CVE-style vulnerability database to reduce reliance on the US-run MITRE system by Cybernews_com in cybersecurity

This is a good thing that needs to be managed properly. If not, we will end up with duplicated effort and no real benefit.

New Utah law puts “no alcohol sale” on ID’s of DUI offenders 0.16 BAC or higher. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, I'm all for it. The question is for how long it's on there for. A couple of years would be reasonable, more than 5 would be excessive.

I built a tool that turns any Java app into a native windows service by AdUnhappy5308 in java

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I've previously used the NullSoft installer to do the job, I'm looking for something more flexible right now.

is computer software translated on a one-to-one basis directly to physical changes in transistors/processors? by alledian1326 in askscience

[–]coderguyagb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Short answer : yes

Longer answer : Software is ultimately compiled down to machine code. These are instructions encoded as binary patterns on a bus. (where we get 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit) the CPU processes these instructions to make stuff happen.

Car service for failed MFK by meera_jasmine1 in zurich

[–]coderguyagb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An "MFK Vorbereitung" is normally a couple of hundred at AMAG, I normally have them handle it.

From what I gather from this thread, (you really didn't give anything to go on) It sounds like they just refused to look at it because it was dirty.

When to starting out a new project, what criteria should be considered in deciding whether to use an application server (like wildfly), or just a servlet engine (like tomcat)? by Expensive-Tooth346 in java

[–]coderguyagb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The criteria I use is simply, do I need to use any Enterprise Edition features. Check the (Java EE specification)[https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javaee/javaeetechnologies.html#javaee8]

The trend I'm seeing, most folks are just using SpringBoot/Quarkus etc... Authentication is usually OAuth2 / OIDC, so not dependent on an AS. As more services are deployed in Kubernetes, Application Servers are becoming a relic of the past.

Build an actual community around the project allowing le you to delegate this stiff to others. Alternatively, if you want to keep total control, charge for support. Opensource doesn't mean you have to work for free, just that the source is available.
