I can't code.

Jump

  • I'm not giving up a 20+ year career in IT just because I haven't yet found a way to learn how to code.

    There's more than one way to teach a subject and it would be nice to have even a basic understanding of the mess I am supposed to be supporting,

    • I can't code.

  • My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills. I have none, by the way, and I don't even know where to start.

    Some of the usual responses when I state this:

    "Automate your work" - I work in Salesforce. Have you seen Salesforce? I'm not a multi faceted systems administrator constantly updating DNS records or working in Active Directory.

    "Write a cool app" - What cool app? What is "cool"?

    "Open dev tools and look around" - Why? Specifically, why?

    Also, learning programming is BORING. Most of the courses I've tried are so so stale and they aaallll end up explaining concepts in the same way.

    "This is a fleeble and it holds the sping, the sping tells the plus plus that it must do what the herbug says".

    • How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year?

    Jump

  • I like that.

    Life can be overwhelming. Small adjustments can go a long way.

  • I take stock.

    What are my personal positive achievements?

    Where am I right now, is it a good place?

    It doesn’t have to be my final destination, but is it good?

    If I strip away all the fringe and lingering bullshit, am I safe and happy in this specific point in time?

    Like right now: I am on the couch drinking coffee on a Saturday morning. I have three dogs with me. I am safe and I am loved.

    What happens tomorrow is future zombie_kong’s problem. Not todays.

    Edit: you got this. It’s nothing. A mere blip in this adventure we call living.

    • Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?

    Jump

  • My opinion is that if you give a shit about how and where you spend your time, you will not support a platform run by and inhabited by dickheads.

    Vote with your feet, or thumbs in this case.

    • How do you decide if you should call in sick for the day?

    Jump

  • If you’re not feeling 100%, take a day.

    Variables being: do you like your job?

    Is your employer a fair employer?

    Will the business crumble if you’re not there? I mean, if it does, that’s a company problem, not a you problem.

    You should be working to live, not the other way around.

    • Are you addicted to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Nope. I can stop whenever I like.

    Fully in control.

    Nothing to see here.

    • Desperate or just business as normal?

    Jump

  • They’ve really fucked that place.

    Such a shame.

    Anyway…

    • Are there any gotchyas to running a Lemmy Instance?

    Jump

  • I'm not alone.

    Compute was never an issue. I had my instance hosted on Hetzner and it ran just fine.

    My concern is the storage, as described above, constantly checking disk space, cronjobs, purging etc etc

    And whether I host a single user or a multi user instance is neither here or there. My question still stands.
