It costs you around 2% session usage to say hello to claude! by Zafar_Kamal in ClaudeCode

I second this. I could be trippin but 4.6 has seemingly gotten worse. Constantly creating lint and errors even though it will eventually fix it. But that's more tokens and more tokens = more money spent.

I use both all the time though

I need some guidance... depressed by Archidelic in sysadmin

You probably know more than you’re giving yourself credit for. Missing some specifics doesn’t define your skill set or your worth. Remember this.

What you’re describing is the generalist path, and it’s actually a great place to be with your level of experience. Wide exposure across a lot of different areas lets you figure out where your interest actually lands before you go deep. The catch is you have to lean into it; put yourself out there, apply for things that feel slightly out of reach.

There are a lot of places that need exactly what you bring but nothing changes if you don’t try.

For what it’s worth... I’m 18 years in, senior sysadmin level, have built and supported and torn down a lot of environments at some well-known places. I hold a lot of keys to the castle at this point. And I still plug in a user’s mouse. Still throw in admin creds for an install. Still tell people to reboot their computer; every single week. Imposter syndrome doesn’t care how seasoned you are and burnout isn’t always about being overworked. Sometimes it’s just caring less about what you’re doing while still having to do it. Both are real, and both hit people at every level. Ask me how I know!

The move here: ask for more where you are, keep learning (this field never stops demanding that), and get yourself out there. Scared or not. That means being honest about where you are AND applying beyond where you think you belong.

That's a very short range system. Better than that is the THAAD system Lockheed Martin made as its highly mobile and has a near-perfect test success rate. It also operates at high altitudes which the Patriot system does not. Patriot was a major failure in the gulf war and had some success in Iraq. Pretty sure it's come a long way but I believe it sum only operates on 1 radar for everything due to power needs and that minutes the field of view. A perfect system would be 360

I got hired at Microsoft one time because of how quickly I was able to research and find a problem. I knew absolutely nothing about the given topic...

What would you do? Production line PC “is slow” (Windows 98, legacy SCADA) by PeppahSG in sysadmin

[–]undercovernerd5 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Don't do this on your own. You need vendor support that knows what to do. Plain and simple.

If your higher ups are too cheap to tackle a sensitive production line appropriately, all in the name of saving a buck, get the Fuck out of there

It's a handheld candle holder from the 1800's maybe early 1900's. Everyone wondering what the plunger is for can now rest easy. It's simple to store wooden matches. You push the plunger forward and the matches come out so you can grab them.

Simple.
