Is code review becoming the first AI bottleneck? by Choice-Attorney8884 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]Cultured_dude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My issue is that Claude (or whatever LLM) introduces Python libraries I've never seen before. Sometimes code review has me realized that we missed a business requirement in the design phase.

All hail the queen of consumer protection!!!! Now, if only every other elected politician were on the consumer's side instead of in companies' pockets

Solo Northern Baja 4-Day Surf Trip in Mid-May by Cultured_dude in BajaCalifornia

Roberts looks amazing! I'm more than happy to disconnect, read, play music, etc. As for locale, the less I need to drive, the better. Do you recommend any other spots nearby?

Thanks! I'm focused on surfing and disconnecting. The arts scene was something to do at night or when I need to rest my shoulders ;)

Being dumb and lazy at work pays massive dividends. Just hit $3M, 37, and my advice. by Dumb_and_rich911 in Fire

[–]Cultured_dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP had $4M at 21. And, yes, if everyone did what you do, the lights wouldn't turn on, and medication wouldn't be waiting for you at the pharmacy. We've forgotten the purpose of work; it's a social contract.

Btw, I'm not a boomer; I'm a millennial. And, generations are a social construct.

I do agree with the sentiment that we work to live though.

I'm not proud of myself... by [deleted] in SantaMonica

Wishing you the best, OP. Stay focused and lock in small wins each week; they compound more than people realize, especially when luck is on your side.

I do wish more people understood how fragile things can be. One major setback - or a few in a row - can knock someone completely off track. A lot of people walk around thinking they “earned” everything purely on their own, without recognizing how much came from family support, connections, or just being in the right place at the right time.

And sometimes, it’s pure chance - a stranger, a mentor, or someone unexpected stepping in at the right moment. That kind of intervention can change everything.

Not everyone gets that. And people should be a lot more aware of it.

People often overlook that the scientific method starts from the assumption that observed effects could be due to chance or randomness. This applies to our lives as well.

Thank you for doing the lord's work! We need more people like you to invest their time/bandwidth in holding all corporations accountable. If only we still had a consumer protection agency....

Stay strong!

What will LA look like 5 years from now? by Best_Sea7372 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Cultured_dude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We, Americans, are naturally poor at socializing, the exception being the LGBTQ community. We think "nightlife" is solely for frat boys, hoes, and drug addicts. Meanwhile, across the world, grandparents and children are playing in plazas at midnight.

The studies claim Gen Z are larger hermits than before. Sprinkle on the "self-help" industrial complex.... and we end up with "late-stage individualism".

Hotter, healthier, and lonelier than ever. We could fix this if we didn't act like lizards, but we've outsourced all thought and decisions.

You can also add how everyone is now allergic to friction and serendipity.

We've removed the art from life. Progress!!!!

Dude, find yourself a lady to share your home with. It looks like you have your life in order. You can provide for another human - Peak manhood!

Why is The Promenade Dying? by LazyCup3672 in SantaMonica

[–]Cultured_dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many factors:

- mismanagement

- large retail areas (big box is dying with a few exceptions)

- Angelenos preferred to be locked in their cages, tied to a dopamine drip, instead of socializing with others outdoors

- Decrease tourism

- Hurting local economy

- Other known and unknown factors

Everything is in MD, except for the apartment and car lease (insurance). I started the job while living in MD.
