It's been running on caddy + duckdns for 5 years or more now. I use a non standard jellyfin port for the port forwarding, so that probably helps. Also, there's probably an aspect of security by obscurity.
I set up a free dns from duckdns.org and pointed it to my jellyfin server. All my parents had to do was to use that https://randomserver.duckdns.org/ as the server url in the jellyfin app.
Basically what happened with Claude Opus 4.8
Sure, that's why Google made an exclusivity deal with wikipedia instead of reddit to train their ai for any organic user level reviews/discussions on anything.
Appreciate the insights. In all my years as a programmer, I was never the tdd kind of guy, and looks like it has now come to bite me in the ass. I need to learn how to write tests and validate/write my own tests to the code. I'm still pretty new to all this, so I'm yet to be in a position to face the long term consequences
Not stopping coding altogether, but if I use AI the right way, then I can keep up my velocity while also taking time for manual programming projects alongside.
Good for you. Yeah skill atrophy is a real concern, and I'm afraid no matter how much I try to avoid it, there's a real and significant chance of that happening. I could look at it as similar to forgetting the syntaxes because I can look them up, but I think it's a lot more serious than that.
That would work if there is such a thing as justice in this world. The reality is that companies don't give a shit, and you'll be jobless clutching to your ideals. My compromise is that ok I'll use AI and deliver stuff for you, but I'll only do it in a way that benefits me as well. I won't lose my identity as a python developer to use your ai.
Glad to know there is somebody else sharing my feelings on this. Even with ai critical comments, there's still some great comments here. I cross posted this to experienced_devs and there a bunch of useful comments there as well.
I have 18 years of programming experience, this is not about not knowing how to code. It's about using a new technology effectively without losing your identity as a senior programmer. May be you have the ultimate say in your company, and can stave off agentic coding until the bubble bursts, but I don't have that luxury. Agentic coding has fucked up all output velocity expectations, so even if you don't use them, you're still expected to output at the new velocity, which would just about kill mj love for programming.
Is kiro platform agnostic, or tied into AWS? I'll check that out, thanks
