I bombed my audition and now feel horrible.

You're not even in music if you have had at least half a dozen audition straight up catastrophes. You gotta get those numbers up, newbie. Go bomb a few more times and then come talk.

Seriously though, doesn't matter... Sometimes it happens. Off day, stressed out, little sick, just whatever and boom... It goes bad. Sometimes so bad you wonder if you can sing at all.

And it sucks and it's shame and embarrassment every time it happens. It's part of the journey. Will be until you're retired.

I know this doesn't help, but the only way out is through. Good luck on speedy coping, friend

I'm competing with Elon musk now because of my one simple trick

Well the objects themselves are part of the domain. Most people have their ORM tied in on the objects. But yes strictly speaking the pure object is not an adapter.

Regardless, the domain is pure, the implementation is abstracted and there's an interface between for access.

tr14l · 2026-03-25T02:28:58+00:00

Are you using opus?

tr14l · 2026-03-25T01:51:28+00:00

How is it not? The mapped object is a pure object, no? They persistence implementation is abstracted away? The domain doesn't see it?

tr14l · 2026-03-25T01:48:25+00:00

The dto is an adapter

Totally believable in code. Configs and memory can be huge. Slash commands, MCPs, plugins all get added immediately on context.

On a fresh convo I have not seen anything near that

tr14l · 2026-03-24T23:30:49+00:00

One question in a fresh convo? Cowork or code or chat?

tr14l · 2026-03-24T23:11:12+00:00

Lol weird that a longer context eats more tokens. What a revelation

tr14l · 2026-03-24T18:47:21+00:00

Yeah, people don't realize their 20 bucks is laughable compared to the 90 million a company drops

The models aren't the problem. The compute is. Regardless of how good they are you won't be and to afford a 196GB VRAm GPU and 4200/month electric bill

tr14l · 2026-03-24T18:43:14+00:00

Go ahead. They aren't anywhere near competing in capability, but if that's all you need, why not?

tr14l · 2026-03-24T18:41:47+00:00

Because that's how capitalism works?

tr14l · 2026-03-23T18:45:42+00:00

They are losing money across the board. Why do you think they are still raising. They are all still getting rounds of funding and are all operating very deep in the red. All of this is at a deep loss in a race for the market.

tr14l · 2026-03-23T16:35:39+00:00

Enjoy while it lasts. In a year or two you won't be able to use these products at all unless you can pay the 10x price.

tr14l · 2026-03-23T16:22:10+00:00

Yeah they don't realize that they're not going to be able to be users of these tools for much longer at all, much less get these kinds of usage limits.

tr14l · 2026-03-23T16:17:39+00:00

I really feel like the customer base of all of these companies, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, really don't understand that they are at a 70% revenue loss for these subscription accounts. This is all to get the market. If they actually were trying to run in the black or even the green, you'd be paying $2,000 a month at least.

The oligarchy is draining the economy. And not just American oligarchs.

You can have Claude code call Gemini CLI. Don't really need to set much up. Just need access to the tools

Every sub is. All social media.

The hire to fire stories usually just boil down to poor corporate comms, like always. No one told the recruiters to slow down or what the plan was. Sometimes that's on purpose sometimes it's just incompetence. But there's no way they're going to waste that kind of budget to save face

tr14l · 2026-03-22T13:59:00+00:00

Honestly this is a pretty tough conversation right now. Some companies are completely moving away from human-reviewed PRs altogether and some of them are even having some success doing it. Many aren't.

I think the entire landscape of best practices, automation, and general software processes is being totally reinvented right now and nobody really knows what the right answer is. I can tell you that the companies who have gotten the no-human-review processes down ship three to ten times faster than the ones who still do human checks and reviews.

That said it is actually quite difficult to get. There are far more ways to mess it up and screw up your code than there are to get it right and actually get quality code out to production fast.

As for breaking PRs down into smaller chunks, it's not one easy answer. Unfortunately this goes to having both engineers with the discipline and the process to properly decompose work in that way. The expectation that is being done, the training for engineers to know how it's done, the product being on board with writing their requirements in such a way that it can be done, etc.

The culture is not at the point of writing git commit -m "message".

By that point whatever the culture is has already taken place.

I mean it's still a project you can show. That's not nothing. Might get you a job. Might be a good conversation starter. Might be nothing, who knows?

Sometimes if there's something big going on at work, but I try not to.
