  • The other angle is the majority of Devs are just… Not good…

    A good Dev in the situation you mention will design the solution needed now not the one you hope for later.

    I’m saying this as someone who has been mired in scope creep and over engineering solutions many times in my life because “what if 5000 people need to use it at once?!”

    In most cases all you need is a database, a single thread and a simple API. Build it and then as the problems come grow with them. Try to take into account issues of scale but realize you can’t and shouldn’t solve every scenario because there are too many variables which may never exist.



  • In the scenario of having to constantly update an fstab yes it is. As an end user I shouldn’t have to keep updating configuration files because something on a lower level keeps changing its alias.

    No granted I’m not familiar with this type of mount. Maybe there is a better way to do it that absolves needing to use the UUID but if not that’s shit architecture IMHO.

    Anyone else chuckle on the parallel in saying to use the UUID is no different than saying “just hardcore the IP bro”

    I’m not hating on you, but it’s an extremely flawed system where you are forced to use a direct ID mapping as a reference.

    From what I’m understanding from people you can assign an alias to the UUID that sounds better?



  • The code on SO is rarely specific to what the use case is IMHO. Any code I’ve gotten from there has had to be reworked to fit into what I’m doing. Plus I can’t post some stuff on SO because of legal reasons but can on an internal ChatGPT portal.

    Trust me, it’s gonna get a lot worse.

    Matter of fact, I look forward to the security breaches of developers posting company code into ChatGPT for help lol. We already had that issue with idiots posting company code into the public GitHub.
