Well, this is a
grim post asking what AI coding service to
pay for.
Young me started his path to professional development with Turbo C++, a bookstore, and a library.
…
Old me’s been paid for doing this most of the last thirty years. … He’s also broke, because today’s job search world is — not good.
Friend, I gave plasma last month so we could have a meal.
“$200 a year is worth it!”
It better be. Do you know how much plasma I have to give to afford that? How many times I need to wait in line for a couple hours, get jabbed with a large needle, and made to sit immobile for 45 minutes with a nail hanging off my arm? And then eat ramen instead of meals so the money lingers in my account a little longer?
That’s rough.
I do not use AI tooling, but I assumed that, like all other software tooling, there’s a free variant of it somewhere. LLAMA is a free LLM, but I have no idea how hard it is to make it regurgitate code. Apparently not tjat easy!
Well, I can’t answer Brian’s questions, but I hope someone can, as much as I’m against this trend.
I also am now even more freaked out about the job market!
