Programmer Humor
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Rules:
- Posts must be relevant to programming, programmers, or computer science.
- No NSFW content.
- Jokes must be in good taste. No hate speech, bigotry, etc.
Homonyms are the downfall of LLM for sure
I'd probably take this suggestion, just to see where its going with this. (I know there's no design behind these suggestions, but it's funny).
I've been using copilot for a while to know it'll be something like timeBottom and timeTop.
But if anyone's getting this recommendation there's probably not much code in that file or the code is trash. Garbage in, garbage out.
lol
I don't think I would hire someone who regularly posts on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is for posting a link to your resume. Unless you own a business or are a sales monkey, it's a waste of time.
This but unironically
Except for a community manager.
Now, the fact anyone would be in a LinkedIn community (aside from work related) is beyond me..
Huge red flag for me.
Lol where do I find the source photo of the elephant?
For research, right?
I have been researching this for years. All studies indicate this is not feasible.
Thanks, just made a meme with it :)
Can you type words? Congrats! You are now a Prompt Engineer!
being a prompt engineer is so much more than typing words. you also have to sometimes delete the words and then type new ones
Don't forget that its much more effort than teaching a child, sometimes no matter your words, the machine can be stubborn. It is a very difficult and misunderstood profession, sometimes my head aches a little from typing the same thing over again, expecting a different result. But together we will hallucinate the future, engineering one word at a time.
The most important part of being a prompt engineer is knowing when the responses are bullshit. Which is how the AI field has been the whole time - it selects for niche expertise.
There's also jailbreaking the AI. If you happen to work for a trollfarm, you have to be up to date with the newest words to bypass its community guidelines to make it "disprove" anyone left of Mussolini.
Wait, copilot and ChatGPT use are skills? Isn’t that a bit like how using a phone is a skill?
More like googling skills. Definitely got some of my first jobs by telling my interviewer that I google shit I don't know
You might be surprised at how many people don't really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.
Things like "what should I search for to find X" is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.
Well we are talking about execs, they tend to not know what the fuck they're talking about
Make sure to check LinkedIn daily using Ctrl+shift+alt+win+L for better job opportunities! Keep using chatGPT and you may just win an unpaid internship at microsoft!
I had no idea about this and it kinda grosses me out.
it's for the official Office keyboard.
it comes wirh shortcuts to ms office stuff and was supposed to work without installing any software, so they bound them to an extremely long key combinations no one will trigger by accident and shipped the changes to all windows users.
also another fun fact: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win corresponds to the "Office" key, and hitting that combination will make Windows silently and automatically download and install the Microsoft/Office 365 App and launch it, even if it was previously removed
That means you're a normal person who does not actively engage on LinkedIn, wear it as a badge of honor.
On the contrary, use that shortcut and see how long your brain can last scrolling through upper management feelsgood and ragebait post, it can be a fun drinking game
Didn't know we had shortcuts for ads
Well that means they havent shoved it down your throat.. yet. Just waiting for copilot windows explorer AI to automatically post what porn you're watching to LinkedIn for better networking
We notice you watch a lot of interracial porn which means you're good with a diverse and multicultural work environment. LMFAO
We see you liked getting dicked down by your employer, and we also have a new compensation package for you
So not only do they want AI to take your job - you also won't be able to get another job if you don't wholesale buy into this shit.
I love the future.
Don’t worry, every company was hiring anyone with DevOps on their resume just a couple years back. Now its AI. I’ve been on this train for far too long, and saw places that said they sold “X” and had no one on the team that even knew it. My last place asked me to demo a devops pipeline that was “zero touch” for developers (for a client) and were in shock with my demo “why don’t we sell this?!”… I’ve been here for 2 years, delivering this easy, low hanging fruit and you want to sell the concept as a service? Sigh….
I’ve added AI to my pipeline, for “code improvement analysis and quantitative risk”, it’s just as amazing as before. It’s just a shiny feature in the grand scheme of what AI could really do in real fields (medical, financials, etc), but it looks good on my resume and i’m getting hits on my linkedin, daily.
Lets just hope this time around, companies do some due diligence on hiring and we’re not where we are now, whenever the AI bubble pops. Hahahahahaha
The difference is, Devops isn't a bubble that everyone is waiting for to pop. I've been in that field for over ten years now, and properly implemented it is a net gain for everyone who does it. The reason companies are falling over themselves trying to hire 'Devops' is because they still haven't properly cottoned on to the concept but are afraid of falling behind. And yes, I can absolutely attest to the fact that Devops is a tough market to hire in at the moment, that there are a lot of places who don't have the first clue about what Devops really is, and - similarly to Agile - think they can add some buzzwords to their toolchain and call Bob their uncle. And there are a lot of candidates who somehow acquired a Devopsy title in all that chaos, but all their CVs have are tech buzzwords, and when you interview them they're clueless. That doesn't change the fact that Devops is a solid concept with high benefits for those who understand it.
AI, and more specifically GenAI and LLMs - is more like crypto, in the sense that people are trying to get rich from it without having the first clue what it is. It's this shiny new thing that everyone is rushing to get on board with, but I have yet to see someone propose a use case that actually makes sense, couldn't be implemented better without AI, and is a net gain for those using it. Right now it's all this nebulous bullshit, everyone just slaps their own coat of paint onto ChatGPT and calls it a day. Useful AI-adjacent concepts like Big Data and Machine Learning have been around for much longer than the tooling underpinning the current hype, and already have a lot of very valid use cases.
By the way, I work with a bunch of high aptitude Devops engineers and none of them are thinking about adding AI to our pipelines, not even to pad their CV.
Of course I know AI? Who do you think wrote this resume?
This is worse than some of the resumés I've seen, with "proficient with Google search" [or "google" as a soft skill].
I recently had a coworker who was unable to understand how to use Google or other search engines. She may have been the stupidest person I've ever met and was the living embodiment of the fact that one can be highly educated yet still incredibly stupid.
Haha! Oh, man!
It's definitely a skill, but not one I would expect to see on a resumé. I do mention it in interviews, that I don't know everything, but I can find out. Then they ask how, and I say that I know how to use search engines. But I akin it to "keyboarding". It is a skill, but it's something you're expected to know by now and shouldn't be added to a resumé.
You should say that you "surf the web" and attach the stereotypical picture of a 90s child literally surfing in the virtual space.
That is a pretty excellent image
you must have 40 years experience with ai to be considered for a junior developer position.
The company I work for blocked ChatGPT and Co-pilot company wide, because they found underwriters using ChatGPT for subscription analysis.
