The one use case is running STUN/TURN server for NAT hole punching, that requires two separate servers, or one server with two IP addresses.
You will only need that to run masterserver for games that support hole punching, or to run VoIP telephony / teleconference server.
Another use case is reliability, when your server is connected to several network providers, it will keep working if one of them has an outage, and will naturally have a different IP address for each network link. But your VPS does not have several network links, otherwise they would advertize that in bold red letters.
Nah, my script kiddie skills are still perfectly fine. It's just that finding a regular coding job is easier and more profitable now, also the stuff I did 10 years ago is way less impressive now, when you have Youtube tutorials how to do that exact thing.
Educational bureaucracy strikes again!It's likely that you will learn the same exact thing when you're 35 and need to improve your trade skills, but as a self-study and not an university course with zero relation to real life.The field of programming is vast, and you totally can learn only the tiny part that is useful to you and ignore everything else. And learning CS to write programs is like learning to design combustion engines to drive a car.
It would be better to introduce 'programming literacy' course. Like, learn whatever trade you like, but with a computer, because computers are everywhere now.
The computer by itself isn't that much useful, it needs to control something, like CNC welding machine, and if you can write the most basic Python to control your welding machine, you can do twice the work, because you can run your welding machine at night.
Robotized armies are already here, and they look nothing like steel skeleton humanoid Terminators, they are more like cheapest four propeller drones with an anti-tank mine strapped with zip ties, naked wires with no cover, because it's single use.
We can control AI just fine. We cannot control corporations, who use sloppy AI for important decisions. A few court cases for unfair hiring practices will solve the problem rather quickly, it won't be AI who will get fined, it will be CEO.
To summarize: new fancy code autocompletion tools will make useless junior devs even more useless, plus a regular amount of usual AI buzzword doomsaying.
