Tech Generalist, currently titled Principal Engineer, Sysadmin and InfoSec background. Really, I'm just here for the pet pics, though.

Old Twitter bio: Tech generalist and auto enthusiast. I also like food and pets.

@skinnylatte I think I'm about to buy a barebones Minisforum UM790 Pro as a TV-centered gaming-first system. Similar performance to the portables and limiting to 1080p. I would love one of the portables, but I don't think I'd play it enough to justify the price and compromises.
With the price of RAM at the moment i'm going back to 2digit years in dates

@fmarini If you can find one, the Azio Foqo Pro might work for your needs. It has excellent Mac support and is at least hotswap. Not really programmable and no QMK / Via support that I'm aware of. I'm honestly not sure how they'd get the Fn / Globe key and BT to work with it anyway.

Note: No known 0 days this month and no issues updating. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it.

Whoever came up with the system “if you don’t allocate all of your yearly budget, your budget will be smaller next year” is responsible for so much human misery and wasted money
@danielcornell The light bulbs was me last weekend. Congrats on the productivity!

LLMs are clearly giving the broader tech workforce an existential crisis. Which I think is understandable.

If you view your job as solving issues for business as quickly as possible by way of writing code; then yeah you're generally not going to fare well against a machine.

I think things become more interesting when the frame shifts from "the output is code" to "the output are systems". IMO writing the code has never been the hard part of building systems.
