- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
I’m the opposite: I migrated 2 4TB drives from my first NAS into the actual one. The drives are going strong and nearing ten years (!) of run time. Two out of eight drives died in this server since 2017. Both were newer. I’m not going to change a single disk before it dies. Most value for money in my opinion.
But I can afford this „risk“: My server has a redundancy of 2 disks. It has a local USB backup, is mirrored to two remote servers in different locations with local backups as well.

I’m relaxed. IMHO this is just another trend.
In all my career I haven’t seen a single customer who was able to tell me out of the box what they need. Big part of my job is to talk to all entities to get the big picture. Gather information about Soft- and Hardware interfaces, visit places to see PHYSICAL things like sub processes or machines.
My focus may be shifted to less coding in an IDE and more of generating code with prompts to use AI as what it is: a TOOL.
I’m annoyed of this mentality of get rich quick, earn a lot of money with no work, develop software without earning the skills and experience. It’s like using libraries for every little problem you have to solve. Worst case you land in dependency/debug hell and waste much more time debugging stuff other people wrote than coding it by yourself and understanding how the things work under the hood.

- Comment on Just why?? 2 months ago:
This is the right answer. Source: worked as a cashier.
- You are surprised you have to pay for stuff and need minutes to find your money? I’m surprised too that I have to hand you back some change and need just as much time.
- You have been an asshole in general? Just let me grab a fresh roll of small coins, open it an take coin after coin and put everything on the counter.
- My all time favorite: A guy came and was ready to pay the correct sum (it was like three coins). He immediately left after putting everything on the counter. I wondered why he was in such a hurry. Then I saw that he paid with a foreign coin that looked like a 2€ coin but was actually worth around 50 Cents back then. I don’t know why but I am really good in recognizing faces. So I used my superpower for my petty revenge: I waited around 3-6 months until this guy came again. He paid with a bill. When giving him his change, I grabbed that coin as the last one placed it on the counter and gave it back.
Cashiers are human beings. They are intellectually as able as everybody else. And they know all tricks from customers. So please, have some respect for people doing their jobs.

Just like at work: Forward office calls to your mobile. Forward mobile calls to your office phone.
Get your work done until everybody finds out and starts wasting your time again 😂

Imagine you create some memes that our planet is flat. And a couple of years later there are people that believe in this BS.

I don’t know if I should feel happy or sad because there seem to be other devs dreaming the same retirement dream.
