Context Switching
It’s why I hate when middle managers get a hold of my time allocation. “You have 8 hours a day, so you can spend 1 hour each on these 8 different projects and move them all forward together!” Sprinkle 3-4 pointless meetings throughout the day, and then they wonder why nothing gets done.
All valid points. The compose setup is nasty, and OIDC definitely needs a major overhaul for sure. I’m hoping those are two issues they address in the near future. I can’t speak to the Android app as I use iOS, I don’t have any complains about that version of their app.
I use OpenCloud with Collabora
OliveTin, gives you a clean web UI for pre-defined shell scripts, with a dynamically reloadable YAML configuration.
There are a ton of things you could use it for, but I use it for container and system updates. A pre-processor runs on a schedule and collects a list of all containers and systems on my network that have available updates, and generates the OliveTin YAML config with a button for each. Loading up the OliveTin webUI in a browser and clicking the corresponding button installs the update and cycles the container or reboots the host as needed. It makes it trivially easy to see which systems need updating at a glance, and to apply those updates from any machine on my network with a web browser, including my phone or tablet.
Nah I’m on that guy’s side. His experience lines up with my own, namely that vibe coding is not useful for people who don’t know how to program, but it can be useful for people who do know how to program, and simply aren’t familiar with the specific syntax used in a language they’re not an expert in.
In that case, the queries to the AI model aren’t, “write me a program that can do X”, it’s more like “write me a function in this language that can take A, B, and C as inputs, do operation Y with them, and return Z”, or “what’s the best way to find all of the unique elements in an array and sort it alphabetically in this language”. Then the programmer can take those pieces and build up a proper application with them. The AI isn’t actually writing the program for you, it’s more like a customized Stack Overflow generator, without having to wade through a decade of people arguing back and forth in the comments about inane bullshit.
Does it save a ton of time? No, but it’s still helpful, and can get you up and running in a new language much faster than the alternative.
