Oh, you’re one of the kind I left reddit because of. Lets see if there are any blocking tools on lemmy.
OH and you ALSO have -5 reputation ALREADY.
What is wrong with you?
I know for a fact I’ve aged past plasticity and IPv6 will never be ‘natural’ but then as far as IT guys go, literally no one I work with is younger than me lol!
I’m retiring soon and fine without spending more of my life expanding a knowledge set I may only use for a few more years, that said I am ABSOLUTELY into crypto and was an early miner before GPUs got edged out.
As far as AI writing code: It simply is the future. I am not exaggerating.
At some point humans will not write line by line code and being a coder will mean ‘knowing how to best instruct AI to make code, then reviewing and verifying it’, and at some point the code AI will write will be incomprehensible to human reading, just like how antennas are designed today.
We are in the infancy of it but I GUARANTEE you there is at lease 2 groups right now training AI on codebases alone.
Guaran-fucking-tee
And the stuff they will make will FLOOD the market with cheap, quick apps and basically turn hand coding into an artisan work or for specific use instances.
That’s a pretty good idea actually but may not cleanly translate to existing infrsatructure.
This is undeniably true though as I am tasked as the security monitor for several tiny LANs, NOT letting every device have DMZ access has its advantages.
Maybe I’m just too greybeard to want to change. I love IPv6 for infrastructure and personal devices. For my home LAN and those I am responsible for, a tightly nailed down IPv4 environment is what I prefer.
I’ll leave the massive address space and IoT readiness to you young and upcoming packet jockys, and in my retirement will marvel at the wonders you create.
For now, you’ll get your DHCP and you’ll like it if you want to stay in my house young man!
IPv6 is all well and good until you need to read of an IP address for a call or write it down if you don’t have copy-paste UI access.
Then you will pine for the days of four octets.
Not to vegans, they’re clinically insane.
