That's where GPT-4 ate their lunch. I've never really administered servers myself before, but I was able to set up multi-container CI/CD on bare servers and monitoring with ELK, filebeat and metricbeat and public-faced services through nginx with SSL certificates and basic password authentication all in a single day.

Before, I would use stack overflow and it would take me at least a week.

I work in cloud consulting and I had a project where I needed to create a CI/CD proof of concept for the customer to use that involved deploying a Docker container to ECS (AWS’s Docker orchestrator) and show how they could integrate automated testing with the pipeline.

They use Java - a language I literally haven’t used since maybe a year after it was introduced.

I used ChatGPT to create the source code for the sample based on my specifications including Junit tests, the build with Maven, the Dockerfile - everything.

Of course it got a few things wrong and missed steps and I had to keep pasting in error messages until it got it right. But it was still faster than trolling the internet.

Of course I was very up front with the client that the Java pieces were all generated by ChatGPT.

I'm guessing you mean trawling the internet rather than trying to upset and annoy the internet:)

[JimDabell]

No, “trolling” is actually correct. It’s less widely used than the meaning you refer to these days though.

> the act of searching among a large number or many different places in order to find people or information you want

> It takes me 45 minutes of trolling on the internet and I’m still confused.

"Mainly US" though which explains a lot ;)

I see as well that the US English spelling for "trawl" (as in fishing) is troll. Again, mainly US.

I would bet $30 that "weary" is listed as an alternative spelling for "wary" in Merriam Webster by 2030.

Today I learned: while trawling is probably the word I should have used, I was unintentionally correct either way…

[scarface_74]

Even though the sibling comment said I was technically not wrong, I think “trawling” is the better term.

And I assume trawling vs trolling is one of those things that you feel the urge to point out just like I hate when someone says “jive” instead of “jibe”.

That last sentence was not meant to be passive aggressive at all. It was just an observation.

I certainly didn't read it that way. It just stood out because British English is my native language.
