i do not value your privacy, which is why my website does not have any trackers on it what so ever. i have positively no idea if any human being besides myself has ever actually opened my website. your privacy is worth zero dollars to me. you couldn't even pay me to take it away.

@aeva Same with my website and my apps. I couldn’t give a toot who is using them and what for. I hardly have the time or skills just to keep them running properly nevermind snoop code! 🤣

@aeva Mine says "Since this server is located in GDPR-land, you should know that I am a person, not an organisation. This website doesn't track users, it only logs accesses along with IP addresses. The only reason I might get personal data about you is if you communicate it to me — for example, you email me details about yourself. If you don't want to do that, please don't."

@aeva Less "We take your privacy, seriously" and more "We don't take your privacy." 👍

Ha! Reading a website say "we value your privacy" makes me about as trusting as it would to hear a gaunt, deathly pale man in an opera cloak and with widow's peak say "I value your blood".
In a vaguely Eastern European accent.

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place Tracking? My blog is a static site served from an object storage bucket. I have no idea if anyone outside of fedi has even seen it. Access logs are kept just long enough to be fed into some basic security tooling to prevent malicious actors and that is it, and I am absolutely too lazy to look at them before they get purged

@aeva hey I'm pretty new here and want to be as much privacy focused as possible I have a site (ruckbank.com ((only half finished)) ) a personal portfolio. And I can track how many people see my site on what platform and for how long and so forth.. seems like I unintentionally collect data. My question now is can you see such metrics on your site, is this "normal" and can you do anything about it?

@Ruckbank my webpage is static html & css that I wrote entirely by hand. when i want to add something, i modify my offline copy and then upload it to my server using ssh which copies the new files over the old ones. it's very old school. i know it keeps absolutely no visitor metrics because i never wrote any, and never will.

@Ruckbank if you're using some kind of hosting service or framework, there's probably a setting somewhere you'd have to switch off to disable visitor metrics entirely. there's always the chance that some 3rd party component might also be phoning home. tbh modern web development sounds really awful to me because of stuff like this, so i just make webpages more or less the same way i did when i was twelve XD

@aeva thank you for your answer. I came to the same conclusion as you. I host via namecheap.com so probably it is that. I looked into it and on the file manager there are files that are not mine so probably have to disable it somewhere 🙃. Thanks and keep up the good work 😉

@Ruckbank god speed :)

@rubenerd @exchgr also, note that weather app has all the things I probably wouldn't have bothered doing on a small throwaway project because they're tedious: Good test coverage, every static analysis option possible, nice packaging and automatic deployment to the server when tagging a release via Github actions. All that would have taken me days to write by hand, even though that's exactly the kind of stuff I do every day at work, versus a few minutes of prompting and occasionally correcting.
-
@aeva ahh I see, makes more sense knowing about swipe. I never did figure that out myself, heh.
-
@rubenerd @exchgr I could have built the weather app in...maybe 3x-4x the time it took? But, I probably wouldn't have, because I didn't want it three or four times more than that amount of effort.
I've got two other much larger projects that haven't really launched yet, that have also taken remarkably less time than I would have required doing it myself.
I hate being "rah rah AI", but I'm not going to lie on the internet about it when I know it's gotten really good at writing code.

@johnlogic I’d remove the AA and the “just classes” from education. If you’re concerned about gaps, you already call it “career impact” so it doesn’t have to be complete.

By posting on here, tapping into my social network is exactly what I'm trying to do.
I've heard that weak ties can be the most powerful, especially when job seeking.
I also have a pretty extensive professional network, as I volunteer for the world's largest technical professional organization, IEEE.

@rubenerd @exchgr I was dragged into it by my employer, as I like having health insurance, but it works. Over the holidays I built a bunch of stuff (an absurd amount of stuff), more working code than I've ever written in such a short time in my life. I wanted a weather app without ads, so I built one in a couple of hours. https://wthr.lol/ (And, if you're curious about code quality, it's here: https://github.com/swelljoe/wthr.lol )
I've used it to find bugs in huge projects and build from scratch.

@aeva *it turns out, sometimes the juice is not worth the squeeze
-
@rubenerd @exchgr yeah, I read all the studies and felt quite smug about AI, as well. And, then I actually built some stuff and found some bugs with current gen frontier models, and my priors were upended.
I'm not saying I like it, as it's going to cause a tremendous amount of disruption, and not in a good way, given who holds every leadership position in government and industry right now. But, I simply can't pretend it doesn't work, anymore, because I've seen it with my own eyes.
