What type of quality guarantee should I add to my human coded repos? Is “human coded” the guarantee? Seems odd.

What type of quality guarantee are you looking for? That’s not something normally found in oss land. Feels like AI use would drag the quality up, not down, in my experience.

Does this mean it’s bad?

No one knows.

I think a true Sr shortage is likely decade+ away. So if you need money you gotta make ends meet somehow.

I’m leaning into the AI space, becoming proficient at understanding and developing harnesses for different purposes, running local models, adjusting to context switching more often than not, etc.

I’m currently working a short term AI Cyber gig for a financial firm I already had a relationship with, but then taking time off to tinker.

Dev/Sys/Net Operations, Cyber. All great fields for leaning into AI

The graph is anticipating the future. Not current. Take a couple years off.

I use massive amounts of AI for home lab dev and operations. It’s an incredible tech that unlocks so much for homelab devs. I never would have the time or patience to build out an entire system like I have now.

It has allowed me to de-google my life completely now. I run SSO with a mail server, file server, gitea, arr stack, immich for photos, and dozens more things. The whole stack monitors and acts on alerts by itself. Quite wild.

I use a couple DGX Spark boxes for inference. Currently running Deepseek v4 Flash 0731.

I have zero reliance on big tech now (aside from the annoying Google sso; that will take time to migrate away from).

So yes, I use AI just a tad. It would be foolish not to.

Some background: I’ve been a professional software dev/arch for 35 years.
