No! They don’t want a formalised language. They’d much rather explain and re-explain in English, then repeatedly correct the mistakes the clanker inevitably makes. And spend at least the same amount of time as a skilled programmer would.
But I get why managers think that skilled labour can easily be replaced with LLMs. Their jobs of writing emails and occasionally creating presentations, that may or may not match information they received from more skilled personnel, can absolutely be done by an LLM.

4·13 days agoThat’s a cute little puddle jumper.
Can’t do that with SSDs.
I heard OpenCloud is basically only the file server part of Nextcloud. Never tried it, though.

1·1 month agoMumble never tried to get feature parity with discord. If all you’re using discord for is voice mumble is a perfectly adequate replacement.

7·1 month agoWould an issue tracker in general do a better job? Maybe.
Jira specifically? Unlikely.

Linux@programming.dev•Which distro for a non-technical windows user?
41·2 months agoIf you’re writing scripts and even just using ssh you’re already more technically inclined than probably 90-95% of Windows users.

Linux@programming.dev•Which distro for a non-technical windows user?
3·2 months agoJust commenting to actively discourage Ubuntu, as it does many things bad or just weird.
By that logic LMDE would be the only acceptable Mint flavour, since they can only gloss over so many of Canonical’s missteps.
And if any gaming will be involved I’d probably steer clear of either of them, since the available graphics driver will likely be outdated rather quickly.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Software recreating the home movie experienceEnglish
1·3 months agoSome noise, desaturation, maybe a few scan lines, add a date and runtime overlay and you’re probably most of the way there.
If your codebase is closed source there’s no risk of that happening, if it’s open source there’s nothing you can do about it.
Either way there’s no use worrying.
Interesting take on the sci-fi horror genre 😁

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•What's stopping you from writing your Rust like this?
13·10 months agoI don’t like this type of question. In my experience knowing one language has little impact on learning another. What matters much more is understanding the underlying concepts.
If you grok OOP it doesn’t matter if you go from Java to C# or from C++ to Python. Yes, there are differences, but they’re mostly syntactic in nature.
So assuming you got the hang of imperative programming and maybe had some exposure to functional programming, too, the concept you’re likely to struggle with the most is ownership. Simply because it’s a concept that’s fairly unique to Rust.
Having come from Java, via C++ and Python and having dabbled with Haskell a bit, I feel like The Book does a decent job of explaining Rust in general and its oddities in particular.

Nushell is awesome. Passing structured data instead of strings makes mangling it so much easier. No more repeated string parsing.
My only gripe is that the devs sometimes make the syntax different from virtually every other shell only for the sake of being different.
It’s still my daily driver.
