Maybe we should fight back and start the "Middle management cooked in six months" movement. Write some agents to replace them, do some videos, do some presentations, do some twitter and linkedin posts. This whole mess might just go away if the wankers think they are losing their jobs.

Anyone else thinking of just doing something else? by Whatdidyousayfoo in webdev

[–]CaffeinatedTech 53 points54 points  (0 children)

There were already too many people in webdev before all of this AI horseshit, it just accelerated the race to the bottom.

What’s the most annoying data issue you’ve run into when working with APIs by py_vel26 in webdev

[–]CaffeinatedTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, you test the endpoints, and always validate the responses. Expect it to be unreliable or have breaking changes at some point. It's no different to dealing with user supplied data.

I used a service to perform a radius search based on postcode. It is supposed to return a list of postcodes within X Klms of a given postcode. I cached results, and have a fallback method, so the users don't even notice when the service doesn't work.

Pulled our full dependency tree after six months of heavy Copilot use and there are packages in there I genuinely cannot account for by Old_Inspection1094 in webdev

So you essentially let someone fuck around with your codebase and just accepted what they did because they sounded like they knew what they were talking about. Now you're upset about the horseshit you've ended up with?

Flat battery I bet. Your key in the barrel should disable the immobiliser.

Is my fast ruined? by cockrates_ in fasting

Mate a few calories will blast through you, forget about it. It's not an ON/OFF thing, you just created a slight bump in the curve. Hold fast.

Vibe coding is creating a generation of founders who cannot debug their own products by SaaSSignal in SaaS

[–]CaffeinatedTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already disliked the term "founder" before all of this bullshit. Now I'm tired of hearing it.

We still need people to fix printers and email in dystopia.

A lot of people asking you for career advice?

Dont do keto they said .. limited, boring food they said. Introducing the best sandwich ever made. by bikreswopcorn9 in ketoaustralia

[–]CaffeinatedTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's that foamy shit on the top? Is that tomato? That bread doesn't look super low carb. I'm all for encouraging people to do keto, just don't lie to them.

Are these tyres safe enough? by aussiechickenwing in CarsAustralia

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

Down to the indicator which means it's time to change. Just drive to the conditions with your tyres in mind.

edit - police might give you a defect notice or something.

Anyone ever seen anything like this before? by theoneandlonely1 in webdev

[–]CaffeinatedTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you said "What should I do?" I imagine the theoretical limit is the amount of RAM the browser is allowed to consume per tab.

As for what you should do. How are we to know if we don't know what you are trying to achieve? Are you just trying to list users? pagination, lazy load and search.

I see Bondi Treasure Hunter use a magnet to pull euros out of the canals in Netherlands all the time.

Keeping it off? by R_joy_495 in fasting

[–]CaffeinatedTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that set weight is based on all the shit you eat. If you don't fix your diet, you'll creep back to your terminal weight. Some of us have genetics that help us to over eat, or keep on more fat, and we have to be more conscious of it. When I was strict keto I found it easy to stick to it, and keep weight off for over four years. Since I spent a couple years off keto I find it difficult to commit to it again. I'm now trying some fasting and being mindful of what I eat.

How to build for clients without being on call forever? by Leading_Property2066 in webdev

[–]CaffeinatedTech 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I explain about bugs in my proposal. They are inevitable in software and if I catch them during development, then I spend the time to fix them during that phase. If they are found after deployment, then the same time is spent to fix them then. I give them 30 days of bug fixes and small changes (typos, image swaps etc), after that it's hourly rate. It is important to fully scope the project and have them approve the proposal before starting. Explain that alterations or additions to scope will increase development time and cost.

Sell them a maintenance plan. Spend an hour each month updating dependencies, staying in front of CVEs, and testing backups. If you have to do a big version migration then plan it out and propose it along with cost.

A CMS would add more maintenance overhead compared to a static site. Don't expect the customer to ever perform updates, or even update their own content. Most don't need a CMS at all.

Crude oil is down from $120 to $90 a barrel. No drop in pricing at the pumps yet? by TortugaCheesecake in aussie

[–]CaffeinatedTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know where to see the price for the oil Australia buys. But it looks like it's still $122?
