Splunk has done this forever


How? It allows out of the box for static retention policies only, as far as I know...


Smoke weed every day before work. Everyone will love you but your work quality will decrease, they’ll notice but they won’t want to just fire you because you’re nice. So they’ll “regrettably have to downsize your position” and give you a couple months pay. That’s the worst case; best case you end up in a Peter Gibbons type scenario and get promoted to management and you can help all the other poor saps like you chillax.



Tried this and now I'm senior dev.


Look up “not invented here” syndrome (NIH)


This is a great answer too, seriously. I think it's good to be aware of or on guard against this kind of stuff.

I don't think that captures all the reasons but it definitely could be a factor.

I wonder what psychological attitudes you need to embody to embrace NIH and give it fair treatment in decisions?


LLMs are just a statistical analysis of a large body of written information. The proprietary part is mostly the training. It’ll end up being similar to OSM vs Google maps vs HERE. You can get close with crowd/open sourcing, but you can get significantly better at any given point in time by investing millions or billions. At some point the commodity version will be good enough and then no one will invest any more and we’ll stall out for a while until someone succeeds at the next moonshot.


You should look at the jpeg/mpeg compression algorithm, definitely contains bits of this idea but uses the actual images as a starting point


Tl;dr would be nice, as others mentioned. I could see using a variant of the concept to visualize code changes. Have a circle divided into pie slices that represent however you organize your microservices, packages, components, modules or classes. Then distance from the center represents time or reverse time. You could then quickly see changes over time, which areas of the codebase is affected, etc.


Reframe and reset your viewpoint. Look at the past five years; What value have you created? What mistakes have you made? What have you learned? Then turn that into a new reason Why you are doing what you’re doing.


Your creation led to younger me becoming a much better person. I learned when I was being a know it all vs Insightful or Funny. Probably the single greatest learning environment ever created. Yeah, probably would have gotten more work done without it existing, but I wouldn’t have social skills or know as much correct facts about everything. Thank you.


It’s spelled “Gallup”
