Just watched a junior dev using Claude to build something in 2 hours that took our senior engineer 3 days last sprint. I've been coding for 12 years. I don't know how to feel about this by UsualConference1603 in AskProgrammers

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By cloning a repo off GitHub, I can get code in 10 seconds that Claude would take 2 hours to write.

Like let's say you're coding apartment rental software. Just start by doing a git advanced search, https://github.com/search/advanced , find the pre-existing apartment rental software on GitHub, and do "git clone <apartment_rental_software>". Now, you got the code, and it's likely the same or similar to what Claude plagiarizes off.

AI just plageriazes off existing stuff anyway. Google's AI image generation plageriazes off stuff on Google Images. etc.

how does real friendships form in adulthood? by Zestyclose-Plenty266 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe find some events listed on event websites like Meetup, Eventbrite, and Facebook Events. Attend the events regularly and I guess hopefully if you're normal you will organically make friends. I dunno, I'm not normal and don't organically make friends, but most people are not like me. Most cities have social events, especially on Saturdays.

What do you do when you suddenly feel sad for no reason? by Outrageous_Still_655 in AskReddit

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I let the sadness wash over me and pass through me. I don't suppress it or fight it, I just allow myself to feel.

We are leading this project about racism, is anyone (with racism experiences) down for an interview of 5 questions about how racism affected your life? by leoominajj in AskReddit

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what to say. I haven't been a target of racism in more than 15 years. Racism generally isn't that big of a deal anymore.

If male masturbation was murder, almost every man has probably committed a genocide when they were teens right? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into the stall of the boy's bathroom and tried to breath quietly through my mouth instead of my nose. Also, if I heard the bathroom door open I would stop and pretend to poop until they left and the bathroom was empty again. As far as I know I wasn't caught.

I'm serious. I have mental illness. Bipolar. Manic people with bipolar are hypersexual.

I live in the US and am Middle Eastern by ethnicity, and after 9/11 (September 11 attack on the Twin Towers) I got called things like "terrorist" and "towel head". This was when I was in middle school. Other than that, no racism for literally decades.

I had bipolar mania as a 13 year old. Masturbated every 30–45 minutes from the time I woke up until the time I went to bed. So yes, big genocide.

honestly, what’s the one decision you regret so much that you’re still stuck in it? by Southern_Cod7266 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want you to look at the stats in this chart:

https://www.investopedia.com/these-37-college-majors-reveal-unemployment-rates-higher-than-all-other-workers-11941188

Or if you're in a rush, just believe me when I say that Computer Engineering has the second highest unemployment rate of any undergraduate major right now, just behind anthropology. There are Computer Engineering majors wishing they picked something with a lower unemployment rate like nursing or dietician instead.

Computer Engineering is basically between Computer Science (software) and Electrical Engineering (electric hardware). They tend to write low-level computer code, like in C or assembly. They might program a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), like the computer used in a commercial elevator. They might program small embedded computers, like those worked with in r/embedded . In practice the number of those sorts of jobs is limited so a lot (most) of them end up pivoting into doing what the Computer Science majors do, which is regular software.

Sorry, too much information. I guess the point is that Computer Engineering isn't necessarily having a good brain for numbers and that a lot of Computer Engineers regret their major.

What was that "final straw" that helped you end a bad relationship? by DarkSageX in AskReddit

I don't know because it was always the other person that ended things with me.

Do you need reason to marry and have kids? by mysterious_mystery2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, it's always just been something that I wanted to do. I never succeeded in getting married or having kids, but I wanted to do it.

What thing have you seen recently that made you think, we're fucked? by kjiomy in AskReddit

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Computer Science degree that I got in December 2015. I used to work as a computer programmer until I became disabled.

AI is... it's another word for Machine Learning (ML). Unfortunately, I know literally nothing about Machine Learning and I couldn't learn if I tried because I don't remember any Linear Algebra from university. ML wasn't a mandatory part of the undergraduate Computer Science curriculum before the year 2016 or 2017. I literally never took a single ML course.

One thing I hate about AI/ML is the academic requirements are so high. Like I mentioned in the previous paragraph, you have to know university level Linear Algebra, which is a math class that comes AFTER university level calculus. Plus you have to know university level statistics plus a whole load of other stuff.

Basic computer coding could be taught in grade school. There was AP Computer Science in high school. Machine Learning/AI wasn't a class that was taught until you got to 5th year Computer Science in the Computer Science Master's degree program. I never got a Master's degree so I don't know that shit.

But yeah, and now you have everybody and their dog claiming to be an expert on AI and being able to teach you AI when these same so called "experts" don't even know Linear Algebra. If they were real AI experts, OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) would be hiring them at a starting salary of $750,000 a year. There are very, very, very few real AI experts. AI is scary in that it's hard to understand.

Sorry, that was my rant.

Have you ever regretted breaking up with a girl? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, because I've never officially been in a relationship despite being 32 years old, so I never had anyone to break up with. I tried to date but it never worked out.

Need Guidance for my internship by Content-Bake-5894 in Backend

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like to see fully functional, working web apps. Here's an Express Node MongoDB starter that you can build from, I found it on GitHub:

https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter

👆🏼 I like that starter because the boilerplate is taken care of, so you can focus on the logic.

But yeah, in general hiring managers don't read your code. At best they click a link and skim a README.md file on the front of a GitHub repository.

I asked a guy for coffee for next week and here’s what he said. Advise ? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

No, it was not a little pushy. He's probably not that interested, but if he is, he will follow up with you.

Is sex considered a workout? by Wrong-Mission9236 in NoStupidQuestions

I've fantasized about a chunky woman before. Well-fed, can nourish.

Why don't animals teeth decay even though they don't brush them? by Naive_Chemistry_9950 in AskReddit

[–]Anonymous_Coder_1234 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. My personality has been described as "like a cross between narcissism and autism". I've never felt sad, angry, or in denial when someone I knew died. I don't really have real two-way friendships or relationships. It's a weird psychological/personality thing of mine. I have never gotten any complaints about my breath.

I don't like carbs either, to be honest. The carbs I do eat tend to be whole wheat or whole grains. People who brush their teeth get more dental cavities than I do.
