  One of our junior DevOps, fresh out of college, lacks absolutely basic skills. Just today I was helping him debug a very simple find command and asked him what that command does. “I’ll ask ChatGPT” he said as he copied and pasted it into the chatbox.

  I replied, “I asked what do YOU think it does” and he looked at me as if I was speaking some alien language. Now, I know and understand that find is not easy to master, but damn, this command was dead simple and had a typo on it, really easy to spot.

    man find

    Or if reading isn’t their jam, head to explainshell.

    I’m not going to say this shit isn’t hard - it can be challenging starting out if you don’t know where to look. But come on, at this point everyone should know ChatGPT gets shit wrong often enough not to trust it.

      if you don’t know where to look

      This is basically what I use ChatGPT for, when I don’t even know what tools I have available, new to the language/library. But then I eventually learn it and find myself not using AI for it anymore.

      It’s just so frustrating how ChatGPT won’t listen to my fucking instructions, and then perfectly replicate an insincere apology. I don’t know how they find that easier.

  A great time for those that didn’t replace their people with AI to take some market share.

  We’re still suffering from the skills lack after we fired our mentors and documentors after Y2K. We’ve been 20 years without proper mentorship already, and now the last of the mentors will leave the market to the lost boys.

  Your speaking of something that sounds dangerously like investing in science. I hope you’re hiding your IP. /s maybe

  with all the lay offs, and downsizing, its going to affect a generation or 2. and students in universities, are abandoning school or choosing a non-tech field. state schools here was suffering from severe under-enrollment apparently for the last few years, because students lost confidence in these schools during covid(no career opportunities, development, no Hands on approach/experience, due to covid). The lucky ones who can transfer went to a more prestigious school instead , not everyone could do this, and one review in my school, she saw how when she went to UCLA transferred from the state school , that her peers stayed and struggled to develop thier careers. our state schools here is big on tech so the layoffs was really having downstream effects.
