I am a devops engineer working mostly with platform engineering managing over 80 eks clusters, I am learning more AI an embracing AI, it makes my job much easier and helps me write tooling faster. I notice people at work that resists AI and like to do things the way they have been doing it for years. I wrote an Azure wrapper that helps my team debug kuberntes issues in real time using AI , it also analyzes deployments and makes recommendations and this has caught the attention of teams that are now using my tool to debugg their workloads.

My company already is doing a hiring freeze and we have a lot of work so having tools like OpenAI has been invaluable to help me with my daily work.

Can you elaborate on this? Very interested.

one field that is highly paid is devops . not very difficult to learn either.

you are very lucky to be in your 30's, there are so many things you can do after work. Join a gym, volunteer, online dating is fun in my 30's I had dates almost every week got to meet a bunch of beautiful girls, also got into running and joined a running club, volunteer. also going to a bar is fun you can go to a bar and just meet a few locals in your neighborhood. Also it depends on where you live. maybe if you are working as a developer you can get a job that is fully remote and travel and work from some fun place like Thailand or Spain .

It certainly helps if you're attractive. OP seems like the typical lonely coding neck beard that hardly gets a match.

it was so sad seeing those people hanging onto the jet engines of american planes to later fall off :( , what makes someone forget reality and assume that they would be able to survive a trip on a jet engine ? Desperation ?

I hope the Taliban might be a little more moderate this time and that innocent people won't lose their lives because now they are in power.

"Literacy rate in Afghanistan increased to 43 per cent"

Fear can make people dump as sheep, but might it be possible, that they actually did not know it? And maybe rather saw stupid movies where a person gets dragged inside while flying?

"I hope the Taliban might be a little more moderate this time"

Very likely, they want to stabilize their power - for this they need international acception: they already got it from russia and china.

And I can already read on many places in western news, like how the taliban already improved, so you could make buisness with them. And I mean: in fundamental principles, are they actually much worse, than for example Saudi Arabia still is? I assume they will try to show "soft islamism" is possible and continue to fight more radical IS and co.

It probably will be a disaster. They will suspect collaborators everywhere and crack down on it hard. Ironically pretty similar strategy to the war on terror.

the book was really good. However, just because you liked it why do you have to mandate your employees to read it?

Why not just make a recommendation.

Not OP, but I think it was a bit of tongue in cheek comment (I might be wrong tho) ;)

this could be a great project. also the raspberry pi is very affordable. However, i think the best raspberry pi would be the raspberry pi 3 as the raspberry pi 4 requires a different ac adapter with usbc c and also a special hdmi cable so that increases the price of entry.

Even writing a game system for the raspberry pi zero w would be amazing.

True.

The fact is that the zero does not have the computing power I want. The 3 does not have USB3 and that is a big issue for another reason.

It has to be the raspberry pi 4 :-)

Better to aim for the 4, as I assume it'll take some time to get everything done, the price will come down later on anyway.

At the moment there is no "price", as there is nothing to sell :-)

I am only looking for people's opinions now

You should turn it into the project.

I miss that mojo of old simple games. Never thought latency on modern OSes could be a barrier.

Latency is a huge barrier, and it does not come only from OSes.

For example, modern television sets have a "gaming" mode because in normal mode they somehow process the video frames to make them look better, in a way that introduces latency.

Someone who works on audio software told me that audio over bluetooth has a very high latency too.

There are several bits that can introduce latency in a system. The OS is the part that software developers can adjust and improve.

I wrote these utilities not on company time but my own time. I automate a lot of stuff since I also did a lot of AWS consulting.

thank you this is a nice nifty project :) might take a stab to make one of this devices with one of my pi's

Thank you for sharing

Hi, I think you should not try to sell yourself as a Data Scientist. I have worked for many startups and in the past they felt they needed to hire a data scientist, however many of them are expected to be able to do data engineering/ devops. Automation with AWS/ Azure in addition to running their analytic workloads in whatever the latest and greatest is at the moment. Eventually the companies do not see value on that role and i have seen those rolls being chopped. If you know data engineering and manage full analytic pipelines in aws, and automation with terraform , cloudformation that will open up the doors for many roles. Hope that might give you some idea on how to market yourself here :)

Anecdotal experience from someone reading through a lot of DS job postings. There are plenty of roles which present red flags of them being something which would morph into something akin to devops/general-analytics. It seems common for roles to require wearing a few hats including data engineering in order to get work done (I consider that 100% normal unless you're targeting a large+mature organization), but so far getting an idea of the general direction of a role seems not too challenging.

I use both mac and windows and when i need to use command line utilities i use MobaXTerm give it a try is a really nice terminal for windows and also allows you to install other unix utilities .
