  • Just started a new job last week. Ive been in the industry for 3 years so not completely junior but getting in to a new codebase is always rough. Especially when only 1 huge library file is documented, every component is cluttered af and most variables and parameter names are 1 character long.

    Doesnt help that functions are 100 lines either when each the parameter names makes the logic incomprehensible.







  • Thank you for the comment, a very interesting solution! I’m thinking of using Google as little as possible however. I would like to look into how to setup some access from outside the network via some VPN shenanigans.

    I was also looking at automating backups with Cron - both DB and images to other disks and devices.

    I got Immich up and running but have had some stuff come in the way to spend more time with it.








  • I worked for a year developing in Magento 2 (an open source e-commerce suite which was later bought up by Adobe, it is not well maintained and it just all around not nice to work with). I tried to ask some Magento 2 questions to ChatGPT to figure out some solutions to my problems but clearly the only data it was trained with was a lot of really bad solutions from forum posts.

    The solutions did kinda work some of the times but the way it was suggesting it was absolutely horrifying. We’re talking opening so many vulnerabilites, breaking many parts of the suite as a whole or just editing database tables. If you do not know enough about the tools you are working with implementing solutions from ChatGPT can be disasterous, even if they end up working.
