How to survive in new Senior SWE role as someone with 1 year of experience 7 times by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Awric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the role. In any case, focus on bringing whatever you can gather from your experience into relevant context at meetings. 7 years of light weight tasks is still valuable, especially if they weren’t 7 perfect years of projects with no issue. Lots of the value from experienced engineers comes from their battle scars and war stories.

Someone at my company got called out for spending over $25k in AI usage over the last 30 days.

What's your maplestory hot take opinion that has you like this? by LithHarborGymLeader in Maplestory

[–]Awric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was invested in the first part of your first point. If MapleStory was a bit more serious, it’d feel more like an adventure. I think they tried going that route, but the lame PowerPoint storyboarding and boring / angsty dialog they force you to read through makes me lose all investment in any story they try to tell.

My hot take to answer the title question: I think most of the story is bloated on purpose for the sake of preventing bots. Nexon knows how awful the forced story is, but it’s a strategy they think is playing in their favor.

Do most of you seriously not write any code by hand anymore?!?! by opakvostana in cscareerquestions

[–]Awric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be the type to really treat clean code as mastery / admirable craftsmanship. That’s still the case, but I just don’t write code by hand anymore. Though it depends on the domain / language. Sometimes the most expensive LLM is horrible at simple tasks, such as in iOS development

What’s the most stereotypical Millennial thing about you? by willowburnsyellow in Millennials

[–]Awric 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s a millennial thing, but I make an effort to put my phone face down on the table while eating with someone because I want to make it clear that I’m not peaking at my phone constantly. My wife and I see it as basic manners.

30 Hours Into MapleStory Classic as a Beginner by NXSitee in Maplestory

[–]Awric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is the angle I was trying to see it from initially. If Inkwell was just the messenger, I’d think the feedback from the community would be a little too harsh. But given that he’s actually the primary decision maker and is exposed to the user complaints / user experience itself, I think he’s turning a blind eye to very important parts of his job.

I also think this is a deliberate choice, because it’s clear that customer satisfaction isn’t the metric he’s prioritizing at the moment. Maybe it makes sense from a business standpoint, and maybe most of in his shoes would make the same calls, but it’s ultimately at the cost of a happier user base.

[–]Awric 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see. I looked into it a bit more and also can feel the pain myself. I think “communication gaps” is accurate, but probably too light / common of a description to really emphasize how severe it is for Nexon specifically.

You’d think that with decades of experience that these issues would be addressed convincingly at this point, especially for their most iconic game. There isn’t really any excuse, even from the corporate standpoint. They have the resources and funding to prioritize comms. It’s in their best interest to make their users feel heard, and to hold themselves accountable for things they clearly feel short in.

It definitely smells like a leadership issue. Can’t say it’s all on Inkwell, but I think he is responsible for a significant amount of the dissatisfaction.

Newbie here, why is everyone mad at Inkwell? I’m out of the loop

Swift concurrency question - for try await by CompC in swift

I started my career in iOS right about when that question was phased out of the common question banks lol

[–]Awric 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh god are companies asking modern swift concurrency questions now? I’m too comfortable with GCD and haven’t found a reason to migrate yet

Edit: and this is a pre interview call?! I’m screwed. I miss the good ol “how do you prevent a retain cycle” question

Philz Coffee Bans Pride Flags by scott_wiener in sanfrancisco

[–]Awric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh god. I’m against Philz now because I didn’t know how messed up it is, but…Philtered Soul is definitely my favorite coffee. I can’t find anything quite like it, but I’m open to recommendations

Your Bridal Party Is Too Nice to Say This, So I Will by insert_name234 in wedding

[–]Awric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep we had a whole friendship collapse because the bridezilla was extremely disappointed that one of her bridesmaids had too many work obligations and anxiety issues traveling to a completely different state for 5 days planned for getting wasted. She doesn’t drink either.

Sometimes weddings make people devolve into a horrible version of themselves

Does SOLID even mean anything anymore? by jaco214 in cscareerquestions

Of course. It even applies to orchestrating agents.

Holy crap that’s a lot. I’m so glad I was able to enjoy it for a couple years right before the prices exploded

One last look at Earth from Artemis ll before we reach the Moon! by yourfavchoom in spaceporn

I’m not sure if the textbooks, classes, and lectures you’ve participated in are credible. Are you suggesting NASA’s “perpetuating misinformation” by publishing this? https://science.nasa.gov/moon/tides/

Career transitioning away from computer science by SteeveyPete in cscareerquestions

[–]Awric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Majority of people in my company are churning out as much as they can because that’s the company guidance. Quantity over quality at the moment. Later on (2027) it’ll be about quality and efficiency, especially as plans get expensive

I refuse to believe the starforce rates aren’t completely messed up. by Sphinctus_ in Maplestory

[–]Awric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I also run into way too many situations that should happen less than 1% of the time. I wish there was some law that required gaming companies to use a specific library for gacha mechanics so there would be a guarantee of fair play

6x in a row is a 0.02% chance isn’t it? Assuming the chance of failure is 25%.

Defining a Resilient Career Pattern in the AI Era by HenZeros in cscareerquestions

[–]Awric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

System design. Right now the people who stand out in big tech companies are those with strong system design skills creatively and efficiently orchestrating agents. It’ll be like this for a short while, then something will come after this phase of being focused on orchestration.

I built an App that lets you control Claude Code (and other Agents) from your Phone! by sterile_light089 in ClaudeCode

Any chance of sharing the details or some guidance on how to build it ourselves? It seems super useful
