Nothing to do with employment. I was just doing a "home-cooked app"[0] thing for fun that served a personal usecase. Putting it on my resume would be a nice-to-have to prove I'm still sharpening my skills, but it isn't the reason I was developing the app to begin with.
What I think at least is the administration and fault monitoring of lots of random machines and connected infrastructure in the cloud might be left somewhat untouched by AI for now, but if it's just about slinging some code to have an end product, LLMs are probably going to overtake that hobby in a few years (if anyone has such a weird hobby they'd want to write a bunch of code because it's fun and not to show to employers).

- ghaff 1y agoTons of AIOps stuff related to observability, monitoring, and remediation going on. In fact, I found that one the big topics at Kubecon in London.
- gyesxnuibh 1y agoI'm not sure that's necessarily true. People still do embroidering even though there's crazy embroidery machines (though the cost barrier there is probably related). Maybe LLMs will be too cost prohibitive in the future (once we start paying the real total cost of LLMs). You're right that a lot less people will be writing code like a lot less people are sewing these days but people still do it for fun. P.S.: I really enjoyed reading moonbound :)
