Heck yeah!! I saw the book club! Will try to follow

This is wild. 😂 tutorial teaching folks git/github and editing README files for express.js. Couldn’t imagine being a maintainer for this repo and managing all these PRs.

Considering I have my OG MacBook from years ago I’ll be flip flopping between VM Linux and Mac to complete this.

Third PR for #hacktober 🎃 this was a script to be executed for a scheduled job that submitted a catalog item request.

Reason is if the trigger for the workflow is service catalog, it can still be selectable on the portal, AND still be executed as a job if desired.

Stefan Taitano @stefantaitano.com · 4d

Always! But can potentially get lucky. I clicked apply for a job and oddly got an interview. Granted mine was for a job in Germany and folks applying might be slim.

May be worth a look to checkout clearance jobs and descriptions that state “ability to obtain” for a clearance so they can sponsor you.

I’ve used a bit with VMs and actually never tried WSL. Quite honestly, I may need to give it a google because I’m unfamiliar with it. What made you go from VMs to WSL?

Stefan Taitano @stefantaitano.com · 4d

I quit The Odin Project back in 2021 because I thought it was too hard and I’m thinking of running it back to close that chapter of completing it.

At the same time, I want to try Dual-booting and it’s a good excuse to learn Linux.

Stefan Taitano @stefantaitano.com · 4d

LFG!! Congrats! Are you looking to work on the federal side?

Stefan Taitano @stefantaitano.com · 4d

Exactly that!

Stefan Taitano @stefantaitano.com · 4d

ever interviewed any developers that made the switch out? Would be interesting.

Guidance in the right direction to achieve what I want is how I interpret it

Starting Chapter 1 of The Developer’s Guide to AI. Sharing my thoughts so far 😎

In ServiceNow, I build systems that follow rules/steps. Learning AI is the opposite. The system learns from patterns, not steps.

It’s teaching me to think less about control and more about direction. 🧠💡

Second PR for #hacktober. The repo I’m contributing to is for ServiceNow #hack4good initiative. If there’s an opportunity to build these at Knowledge, I’m taking it!
