In one of my programming classes I watched a girl open edge, search bing for Google, then search Google for Yahoo, then search Yahoo for Yahoo Mail. It hurt my soul.

In the really early days a guy who loved trolling before trolling had a name had a link on his website that just pointed to the users downloads folder. Really freaked out some people that clicked on it.

Small upcharge? Unfucking a whole front end and backend should be more than small.

I made an entire website for my ship using notepad by frankensteining together other websites. Everyone on board thought I was a genius. How wrong they are.

Saw a generated site, but it just made up plausible image links and also went image heavy so it was a bunch of broken image icons as it linked to nowhere.

Well, technically you don't need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don't have your own IP (like a shared host) you'll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.

Yeah that's a common issue I've seen with Gemini and ChatGPT as well. They can do simple tasks but as soon as it's something that requires more than a 5-6 steps, or if there are complications along the way they will get lost. Also ChatGPT will commonly just make up commands if it doesn't actually know how to do something.

That's the joke. Guys says his job is done for, by buddy building a website via chatgpt, except the guy knows nothing about how the internet works.

As a Ben, I think I speak for all of us when I say that this Ben does not represent us or our Benly sensibilities.

Just tell her about Jellyfin I guess

It's already happening.

We get support tickets from professional engineers.

Sometimes it is "my software isn't working send me how to get it working." No details on what is not working or what they were doing, so we have to dig the information from them. Like "is your computer on, do you have a network connection, are you connected to your work server, oh you thought google search access is same as VPN to work? ..."

Its rare to get somebody on the call that says "when I open this file and do this, this other thing happens, and here is the sample file and steps I did"

Other things are like: "This software is supposed to output this in this way, but it's not."
So we open the dialog and watch their steps, software says select objects to export, they are clicking Ok with no result, so we have to point out the message they are supposed to read...see where it says select an object to export, and it is highlighted in yellow to draw your attention and has a red asterisk? Yes? Well they are talking to you, you have to do the action required.

I can understand grandma not understanding software, but an engineer is supposed to be a problem solver.

Eh... don't want to be mean but that's what's called an "IP address" for Internet Protocol Address... but this one is for your LAN, aka Local Area Network.

So that won't work, people outside your LAN can't reach it. What you need instead is a domain. What most people don't know though is that there is a special domain name anybody can use for free! Check this out, assuming your LLM did the right setup do all that step, making website, starting Web server then try :

https://localhost/ and voila, free domain from your newly generated websites!

... /s

That is only your local IP, dumbass.

http://172.0.0.1/ is where it is at.

I recently started and left a dev job after just over 2 weeks because the new boss was chugging the AI kool-aid. Luckily I got a late offer from another place I'd applied to and I was able to get the fuck out of there.

It's asking for a password.

Edit: Never mind, I tried the one from my luggage and it worked.
