I can:

  • Accomplish damn near anything from a command line
  • Write machine code
  • Remember a fairly broad swath of special character altcodes without looking them up
  • Disassemble damn near any computer or other machine, and stand a good chance of putting it back together

But also:

  • Use modern programming languages, including object oriented paradigms
  • Actually read what is on my screen and comprehend it, including error messages
  • Understand and operate any arbitrary interface without having to have it explained to me by rote

Behold my mixture of skills, and tremble.

Can you summarize this in a vertical video? I stopped reading after the third word, I'm here for memes, not to read a damned book!

Okay but can you rotate a pdf?

[–] PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Depends, my browser has mostly taken over as my pdf viewer and I think it lacks the functionality but if I were to install a cracked copy of Acrobat Pro or PhantomPDF then that's like a 2 click operation.

They're a witch speaking in tongues! Burn them!

You just made me realize the Zoomers are actually much closer to making Warhammer 40k a reality. IT engineers are like Tech Priests to these Zoomers.

I’ve been called a wizard a lot in my career because I can google an error message.

If you’ve never read it Vernon Vinge a fire upon the deep had a type of programmers in the future known as programmer archaeologists. The tldr is nobody wrote new code just dug up old code and bolted it together. I used to think that was silly, after llms lately and dealing with interns I no longer think of it as fiction.

I've always viewed programmer archaeology is just trying to understand your old code or the team you are working withs old code and also trying to understand the why it was done this way.

I think AI coding is a programmer archeologist based on your definition, and I think I may start using that now.

I mean it’s kinda both, I just thought the idea a bit preposterous but as time goes on that book gets closer to reality.
