If you are a senior level dev you will spend less time writing your own code than ai and you will understand it better, and will not slowly lose your critical thinking skills in the process.

I am still more productive not using ai than anyone else on my team who uses it.

I grew up as a computer nerd kid in the 90s with my first computer being a 386 DX 66mhz off brand IBM PC clone with 8mb ram.

I was put on this earth to do computer stuff no doubt about it. I was the first on my block with dialup. I was the first on my block with DSL. I was the first kid on my block with cable internet. Taught myself C when I was 15 and and a software engineer professionally over a decade without any college education.

With that being said, what we call “AI” (LLMs) completely exhausts me and I have absolutely no interest about AI garbage. I am depressed because AI exists to cheapen literally everything I have a passion for.

When I was young I always wanted to be at the head of technology and always stay up to date with it I’d read books and news daily. Always had a genuine passion for it, but I can’t stand it now.

I just stay stuck in the 90s and play old consoles like PlayStation and N64. That gives me comfort and I know there’s no AI slop in those games.

Gotta admit it was a pretty good drive though

Not so much song but album.

First, listen to Ministry - With Sympathy

Next, listen to any other ministry album

I’m still playing thru ps2’s massive library. No need for modern games here

Oidc is easier to implement than SAML. Oauth2 is for authorization (vs authentication). Its used along with Oidc, but Oidc is the authentication piece (the SSO part)

I say Oidc is easier to implement because it is json based (jwt token) vs SAML which uses XML, which is very verbose and has stuff like namespaces and xsd’s which can make XML a pain to work with.

I’d suggest you stick to keycloak and set up Oidc. This is a good tutorial https://medium.com/@buffetbenjamin/keycloak-essentials-openid-connect-c7fa87d3129d

Edit: take a look at authentik too. I’ve always used keycloak but authentik looks interesting

If you think breaking bad is boring, try better call Saul. A complete snooze fest, and chuck is the worst tv character ever too.

You can ask google who Reddit user x is and it gives you a summary

We shouldn’t be integrating AI into our lives though. AI sucks.

At least Linux runs well on old hardware (and still supports)

Whenever someone at work says “ChatGPT says this” or “Claude says this” or “I asked Gemini and…” whatever they say after that point is just static and I never take them seriously as a person again.
