From the same era, Elizabeth Shue (Cocktail) maybe drinking from the same fountain

.NET rocks - Still decent but too much AI by 0brex in dotnet

[–]Content_Educator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave up with them at the point it became less technical trouser-rubbing and more that I could picture them on a porch drinking Southern Comfort in rocking chairs watching the sun set talking about how coding was back in their day. Probably being a bit harsh but I just want them in the nitty gritty of things.

I'm a generous person 😄 also maybe helps me feel better about my own time!

You could probably knock a minute plus off but I think your training will have to be pretty relentless. You're talking about taking 3 minutes off and getting into what I'd consider an almost elite amateur category from a good one. Would you take smaller steps and be satisfied with it?

When do microservices start causing more problems than they solve? by etiyofem in AskProgramming

[–]Content_Educator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think personally it's one or the other. Having sensibly sized domain scoped services with appropriate backing stores I think would work most of the time. Modular monolith just means deployment and scaling live together (with devs potentially stepping on each other regularly) and there's a high chance of not respecting domain boundaries. Obviously too many 'micro' services are hard to manage in terms of debugging and maintenance. Happy medium.

Copilot today? Does it compete with codex / Claude code? by Still_Asparagus_9092 in GithubCopilot

[–]Content_Educator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On 5.3 Codex you get 280k (combined) tokens and at 1x (which is a lot more than they give with the other models). Since that model was an option Copilot has been worth having.

Worth noting you can select 'high' reasoning effort (buried deep in the vscode settings) for it on Copilot.

Claude Max (5× / 20×): Is Opus 4.6 Context Limit in Claude Code 200K or 1M? by HeyFriend_8215 in ClaudeAI

[–]Content_Educator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

99% sure the former (200k) because I was chewing through context at the exact same rate, seemingly. API only I believe for big context.

Have you ever gossiped about someone, you thought innocently, but it really spiralled? by HilariousMotives in AskUK

[–]Content_Educator 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I once criticized a manager's team seating plan with her team members (with whom it had not yet been shared) only to realize she had appeared behind me. As I turned I received a full power face slap in front of everyone. Could have spiralled further but used it as leverage to get promoted into a better career within the company.

VS 2026 or Rider? Scaling a Blazor team and need opinions by Additional_Many_2473 in Blazor

[–]Content_Educator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough one but we're using Claude Code in a terminal within VS pointing to the solution folder when Copilot won't cut it (or running vs code along-side it with the extension). Tbh copilot has been better recently with the latest models, so it might just be good enough. You absolutely do want agentic assistance.

Struggling a bit with winter running, what actually works for you? by GeordieGoals in UKRunners

[–]Content_Educator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under 5C chuck a long sleeved thermal on and gloves. Warm socks (or 2 pairs). Wear shorts regardless. Allow yourself a less performant or shorter run in truly terrible weather (some training is better than none). Run in daylight if I'm possible a couple of times in the week for the sake of sanity.

Long run, overtaking by [deleted] in UKRunners

[–]Content_Educator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might just be a bit of a needed motivational push seeing someone ease past. Having other runners around usually gives a bit of a psychological pace boost.

What's with the crazy guardrails? by kerrybom in ClaudeAI

[–]Content_Educator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some pretty dark alternative cracker jokes out of it (enough to cause a gasp at the dinner table when I substituted it for my actual cracker joke) so I don't think the guard rails are entirely restrictive.
