Donations to the archive would be appreciated to help fund our server hardware & storage drives. We are looking for developers to help build new software and archives, discuss here.
Additional planned maintenance will occur with downtime the entire day of 3/15.
Till ~2009 all tech was self-hosted on bare-metal servers. If you wanted a website, you had to host it. It wasn't easy. There was no cloud.
Then Rackspace happened - made it slightly easy to host. Very soon AWS emerged. Cloud happened. Creating demand for DevOps. Server hosting was made super easy.
Result: 1000x more servers. New Devops jobs.
Website: Pre-WordPress, sites were hard work. HTML/CSS/Hosting. Wordpress fixed it. Webflow made it drag and drop + hosted.
Result: 1000x more websites. New designer jobs.
eCommerce: It was very, very hard to host an ecommerce website till 2010. Woocommerce happened. Later Shopify made it really simple.
Result: Millions of eCommerce websites. eCommerce boom. New eCommerce jobs.
Millions of devs. Not just FAANG - but ordinary devs - who make their living off of Shopify, or Wordpress, or Deskera - came out of the tech boom.
Each tech upgrade has brought more developers to the fold.
---
Here's my prediction: AI will increase demand for tech 100-fold. Every business will ask for it. Every big and small shop will ask for it. Everyone needs it. Enterprise, Middle market, Small business.
And you – the developer – will help them with it.
There are going to be 10x more jobs. More devs than ever.
Have an abundance mindset. DO NOT BE SCARCITY MINDED. AI is not a zero-sum game.
I was neglectful of my obligations for the science foundation. If you speak to Eli, please offer my apologies.
From the archives, I found my instructions and operated money to take out the ad campaign for the science foundation on all boards.
I hope to be part of the research team soon, at which time I will adopt a formal maid moniker. I am studying foundational mathematics and attempting to implement lzma in a personal project to that end.
You may use this thread to discuss advanced mathematics and computer science, especially cellular automata. I have been told the maid in the library perceives the world as a 4d cellular automata.
You may also post pictures of maids with huge boobs or other pictures of maids from anime, or ai generated itt.
