  • Fucking love your example dude.

    I’ve found ChatGPT3 OK for low level stuff, but I stopped using it pretty quickly once I went to trying to get it to help build intermediate stuff.

    If its making errors in simple script design, it can’t handle more.

    It is fab for the basics, but I wouldn’t truste it for learning anything else more complex for exactly the reasons you said.

    Be liable to write my own backdoors that way hahah








  • Would you mind terribly if I messaged you for some advice/with some questions? It’s ok if not, your posts have given me a bunch to think about/work on! But if you have the time and inclination I’d love to pick your brain. :)

    EDIT: Oh and tyvm for your response! Loads of great points :D

    DOUBLE EDIT: Incase you’re not ok with me messaging!

    Can’t see your post while I respond so apologies if I miss anything.

    1. Resume: Sugar, I’ll get on that. I only have a single one with my previous job exp and college/a couple courses on it. Need to do more mid to large scale projects for a portfolio (that’s the job for the next couple weeks!)

    2. LinkedIn: I have one, haven’t updated it in a long time and don’t have many connects but should be able to get a whole bunch when the new semester starts in September. I’ll ask some friends who I’ve done some work for to verify my skills - think I only have one in Java rn. Will update. 👌

    3. Open Source/VCS: Do you mean making projects myself and throwing them online, or joining other ones to help? I’m a bit anxious about doing the latter but have been trying to gear myself up to it. The former, I’m currently designing a couple small to mid tier projects for a portfolio that I was planning to put up on GitHub. Would that work? Outside of that, I’ve been trying to ensure I make as many commits as I can - though realistically I only have about 4 green boxes a week since May-ish and recently took a 2 week break to study for something else.

    4. Stack Overflow: Never joined Stack Overflow - but I’ll consider doing so per your advice.

    5. Leetcode/Hackerrank: I’ve kind of shot myself in the foot by having switched accounts… Repeatedly. I think my newest one is about 2m old? I’ll work on trying to be consistent and burning my way through what I can. Need to go over algos again pretty badly anyway.












  • I might be taking over at a job for a friend who’s leaving the country. Not programming, but IT and Sec.

    I was concerned about my lack of exp.

    They told me just to use ChatGPT 'cause that’s what they do.

    They don’t even have .exe files blocked for users.

    I’m now far more concerned about the state of the networks I’ll be taking over. Going to be doing a full security audit as soon as I’m up to speed.
