So like, I get that horse race gamblers gamble on horse races and football gamblers gamble on football…
Man, I have never been on a golf course since I was in 8th grade where there weren’t a ton of bets during the round.
One of my friends is on the golf team and has been offered multiple jobs (she studies animation and graphic design) from ppl she’s met on the course

Alright, that’s it. I’m never writing my own marketing stuff that requires words again. This AI fuck. It’s the dawn of man. dum dum dum… I got 3 entire proposals/summaries/reports done while watching Lucifer re-runs last night. I was not utilizing ChatGPT.
I’ve also been using it as leverage for handling programmers I utilize LMAO!!! The REAL chatgpt CAN write a fucking advanced script for stuff like it’s OWN hyperparameter tuning ML stuff but that’s only because this is what I KNOW as a NOOB who just knows how to prompt it but I asked my previous course mentor and the fucker thought i wrote it and it blew his mind that I “know” the indepth stuff cos I was only supposed to get a conceptual understanding of this for planning and coordinating the engineering of the tools for the actual engineers and devops fellows for the actual data analysts so I know BALLS about the actual technicalities before I told him it was done by prompting and then he got chuffed that the shit he taught me was actually put to actual real world use lol so it can probably do even more advanced shit for ppl who are more advanced.
Then he realized that someone like ME would replace HIM if he was still working in the sector LMAO because I am not from a tech background and this shit is a BUSINESS DECISION which is executed by someone on the BUSINESS END if the tech leads are cut out regardless of how senior his position in tech was cos he would be expendable LOLOLOL. It’s a new world order dudes.
Didn’t read this post before I brain farted in the last one lol. Congrats. Noob question. What kind of programming cert is it if you don’t mind cos I’m not even sure what the kinds of programming are since most of this I’ve outsourced to my guy and all I get(want) is dumbed down non-tech stuff to explain to clients. I’m not gonna ask him these questions or I’ll want to saw my ankle off from the typical rambling dudes like him do when you ask questions like these lol.

It’s certainly not as prestigious as any degree in Computer science or software engineering, so based on some YT videos, it’s probably missing some things. BUT, it is technically a certificate in Programming Fundamentals; we dealt heavily with Python, some C# and SQL. Learned about software engineering practices and all other fundamental applications of Programming. It’s a good baseline to build on but further education and practice WILL be needed.
The certificate probably doesn’t mean anything compared to 6 months work experience in programming, but having it on a resume would help get me those 6 months too.

I think if it’s a targeted cert, it’s pretty close when it comes to tech. The issue with software and stuff is not about the education but working with a team of tech and non-tech ppl and that depends on the dynamics of the company. Old classmate of mine who’s running his own software firm which I cant afford to engage regards “columnar storage” when describing a databse as “technical” lol. He majored in this.
Dude, @loppar , I had to go put up a website for staging using something like WP which I don’t really have to do but it’s a favor. The thing about WP is that it’s powerful as FUCK. But it’s not fucking reusable for simple reasons like not knowing PHP. Which is funny cos a bunch of bums who aren’t even programmers (neither am I but I do know some conceptual stuff about servers and the lack the need to fuck with them using the cloud. These dumbasses wanted to manage a client’s WP page I paid a freelancer 200 bucks to put up, which you can tell there’s balls in it other than the occassional blog post. They wanted to REBUILD IT on AWS. REBUILD. Not lift and shift. LMAO. FFS. This is the issue with having so dumb dumbs used to WP that are fully fledged and wonderfully engineered softwares (or CMS?). The cloud providers make it idiot proof to get your site there with no code. There’s a motherfucking WP plugin FFS. But when you realize you have to call a simple webhook and your mind starts melting when you see curly braces, which actually is almost idiot proof since you basically add in some required shit in there amongst the bloody hellspawsn that are curly braces, you just realized that you need some actual skill which doesn’t have to be in programming to integrate with their services, which is already literally written for you like you are a fucking 3 year old but these idiots who wanted the project didn’t even know basic web building shit like that and I don’t even know anything about HTML. People nowadays think the “backend” of a site is the WP DASHBOARD, which I can probably defend because it’s simply a layer of abstraction and it’s really using queries to operate the real backend so that’s cool. Google lets actual data analysts do bloody complex data transforms for ML stuff using something with formulas that I think are from google sheets but I don’t know cos I don’t know how to use spreadsheets lol. But for web stuff, Elementor blew my mind with the way it actually provides fucking rich functionality for people who don’t know balls about programming but I am not someon who can use a UI. You gotta appreciate the engineering aspect though. That shit deserves a nobel prize. What dumb dumbs don’t understand about cloud platforms is that their target markets are ENTERPRISES. Enterprises have tech ppl. They are making it easy for the analysts who don’t need to know programming and take care of the backend because of the need for globalism nowadays and building fucking Hadoop would be dumb unless your business operates solely in one location and isn’t tech based. A fucking HDFS code literally makes my eyes bleed. There are curly braces. WITH STRUCTURE. FUCK. Luckily there’s fucking docker.
So, anyway, I decided that I’ll just do the most idiot proof thing of all. Go adapt one in Notion - my old zettelkastern setup that I still use - which provides even more confusion to anyone who’s building shit there about actual databases. Hint. They fucking use SQLLITE. LITE! If you have used Coda, you have seen that there are 4 lookup tables that allow you to put the nice colored icons in the multiselect “properties” and creating relations with tables does not work the way they do in these SaaS platforms when you actually try to build something like that. These are virtual columns that create page views but even then they get assistance from “helper tables” in Coda. For Notion, iIf you look up the Notion API, there are no fucking TABLES. It’s all OOP shit. It’s a webpage. Fairy dust. But they use the graph thing for their frontend which I don’t fucking understand but looking at other software that turns that shit into an eternal canvas kinda gave me some kind of extential mindfuck lolol.
So I just went and used whatever hybrid markdown Notion lets us use. It’s a wonderful fucking amazing notebook, don’t get me wrong. I only started liking to write after using it 2 year ago but I’ve not been writing much but I love the KANBAN BOARDS lmao. But I don’t use it for my company stuff.
Now, I got bored halfway and went and fucked with their neutered AI. Went and prompted this one to actually give me a portion of it’s own fucking training script in Keras, which I know is an ML language but that’s all I need to know and I can’t read it good so it may have been nonsense but I’m not fucking going to the TF docs to verify it LMAO!!! This one is so neutered it took a hell of a load of prompting. He ain’t going sentient any time soon.

Missed you round these parts. Check your IG sometime
Lol one of my coworkers was yapping about how I brought breakfast and lunch to work. He told me eating more than once a day has gotten him fat, and suggested I do the same.
Of course I didn’t take him seriously, I responded “Aww man I hope I don’t get fat”. My coworker just likes to talk tbh, cool dude though.
If anything, I find it rather cringey to eat like a bird during the work week. Cause….like your body needs nutrients and energy lol, it’s not a flex in my book.

I completely went off the rails at dinner yesterday.
That isn’t the confession
The confession is that my gut is pissed and I am considering using that as an excuse not to workout today
Go do some corny touristy stuff.
I know that if I was in LA, the first thing I’d do is drive north to Santa Cruz.
