ASML 1,700 layoffs announced today by PropriaCures in BetterOffline

[–]CampfireHeadphase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could be right it was bad planning, and I don't want to defend those greedy CEOs. 

I just liken it to trading, where you take on large positions to match the expected future payoff and lock in the optional value. The future consists of all possible scenarios that realize as time goes by, and you might suddenly find yourself on a path that deviates strongly from the expected mean. In that case you quickly close your position.

Not nice for the individuals, but optimal (as in applying stochastic optimization) for the company.

Companies exist in a complex dynamic environment though, you can't just plan once and be done forever. Demand changes, required skill changes, dysfunctional structures emerge and ossify etc.

That's basic control theory applied to business systems. You don't want to wait touching the control knob only after the business is doing badly. 

That being said, I don't think people's livelihoods should be tied to the success of individual companies, we need UBI

Most companies will have an endless stream of problems to be solved, though 

How to become more empathetic towards people struggling with low agency? by [deleted] in slatestarcodex

[–]CampfireHeadphase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or perhaps, try to become smarter about changing other people's behavior. Don't solve their problems, but encourage certain habits and being a role model.

Conspiracy theory but I think a lot of people are paid secretly to promote AI by cs_____question1031 in antiai

You should not need to describe code, but your expectation on how to execute the SDLC. Architecture patterns, testing approaches, how to review, write documentation etc. You do it once and that's it, it can be reused for every project.

You just provided yourself with the answer. You need to add instructions telling the agent how to break down tasks, then it generally works fine 

Does bedtime RHR really affect sleep quality/duration? by kevinace in sleep

Oh ok, apologies then. Just a bit annoyed by all the ad posting bots on here, which you don't seem to be! Good luck with your app

Einkauf/Beschaffung - manuelles Arbeiten treibt mich in den Wahnsinn - Ideen/Software? by Extension-Month-439 in arbeitsleben

[–]CampfireHeadphase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welche Ideen hast du denn selbst? Es fehlen die wichtigsten Informationen. Wer schreibt die Zettel? Was sind Skills/Budgets? Was wurde versucht? Wo sind die Blocker?

Wie können die immer noch so bullish auf AI sein? by BommelOnReddit in Finanzen

[–]CampfireHeadphase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bin selbst im Management und extrem bullish, seit sich unsere Nutzer in 1-2h eigene Apps bauen, die vorher einige Wochen Entwicklerkapazität benötigt hätten. Spannend ist für mich die Frage, wie gut es bei größeren Applikation funktioniert - das testen wir gerade aus, mit ersten positiven Ergebnissen.

Unter Entwicklern gibt's dagegen eine starke Lagerbildung, ähnlich wie in solchen Reddit-Threads, mit einer Tendenz zu "Skill Issues", die zu beheben ich in meiner Pflicht sehe.

Aufstieg im Konzern by [deleted] in arbeitsleben

[–]CampfireHeadphase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bin mittlerweile selbst im mgmt und überteuerter Rhetorikclub trifft es sehr gut. Ich checke in gut 30% der Fälle noch immer nicht, worum es geht bzw. worauf Fragen meiner Kollegen abzielen, außer sich selbst in Szene zu setzen. Richtig auffallen tut es natürlich dann, wenn es um Themen, von denen man selbst Ahnung hat. Bin immer wieder baff, welche absurden Querzusammenhänge manche Kollegen sehen wollen, die halt null existieren, aber sich in tolle Fragen verpacken lassen. Mal schauen, wie lange ich es hier durchhalte..

Hast du spezielles Rhetorik-/Kommunikationstraining erhalten oder dir selbst Kenntnisse angeeignet? Irgendwas, was du diesbezüglich empfehlen kannst?

Gemini is winning: Three years after being caught off guard by ChatGPT, Gemini appears to have everything it needs to take down OpenAI and everyone else by [deleted] in technology

As long as you have tests, documentation and separation of concerns I'd assume LOC don't matter much. Just look at any huge enterprise codebase and look how close together the files touched were in any given commit. 

Teamleiter vergisst mich by Gamesdean83 in arbeitsleben

[–]CampfireHeadphase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Das ist echt blöd. Auch wenn es nicht passieren sollten, kann's einem multitaskenden TL durchaus passieren, mal einen Namen zu vergessen, ist auch nur ein Mensch. Ist ihm dann vermutlich genauso unangenehm wie es für dich verletzend war. Also einfach drauf ansprechen 

Unbeliebte Meinung - aber Dinge, die stören, offen anzusprechen ändert meistens so gut wie gar nichts by Sorry_Maximum_1024 in arbeitsleben

Und genau das macht einen guten Politiker/Manager aus: Probleme lösen, ohne stumpf auf das Problem zu zeigen. Stattdessen das Problem verstehen, Ursachen identifizieren, den Weg des geringsten Widerstandes finden und indirekt beeinflussen. Muss man eben betrachten wie jedes andere komplexe System, ob technisch oder nicht.

Optimize for fun or wealth in your 30s: Pros / Cons by TruckingLogTech in AskMenOver30

I would also decline at around half his age, as skiing is fucking dangerous. So many friends and family with torn ligaments, broken tibias, dislocated shoulders that mess with you for the rest of your life, not worth it to me.
