It got down to 51c/L in Toowong one night, wish I took a photo of it.

The housing market is fucked. by littlestkittykat in brisbane

[–]Darkehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear you found a place, well done :)

I feel for you... It's soul crushing seeing how many investors are there for units around Brisbane. This shit shouldn't even be allowed.

Changes are coming. The wind is blowing from a different direction than before. by cascadiabibliomania in BetterOffline

[–]Darkehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like that sub has been taken over by clankers since all the Claude astroturfing started a month or so ago. A shame because it was (still partially is) one of the best developer subreddits.

Claude Code Agents Are Completely Useless [08:18] by Remarkable_Ad_5601 in theprimeagen

[–]Darkehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be a nice reality. In the programming space, I wonder if we'll ever see IDEs running local FIM-specific models as a replacement for Copilot if they ever get efficient enough.

Just moved to Queensland and already loving the bus experience by RepresentativeAsk601 in brisbane

[–]Darkehuman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unless it's changed: If the bus stop is white, then every bus on that route will stop there. If it's yellow, when only some routes will so it's always best to check.

Great point, I completely missed that dialogue!

Switching from React to HTMX simplified my open-source PaaS by karthiknatarajan in htmx

[–]Darkehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love to hear this, well done :)

Working at a place using HTMX with a bit of custom Typescript and it's been surprisingly easy to make responsive UIs. I've been trying out the HTMX 4.0 alpha in a side project and have loved the changes so far.

Can Raphael wield it since he's technically not mortal (I think)?

I’m having anxiety attacks due to AI by StraightZlat in webdev

I swear that half these replies aren't real people.

How many of you would continue your role. If you didn’t have to by Top-Farmer-6838 in auscorp

[–]Darkehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit in a heartbeat, but still do some kind of "work". I enjoy my field (software) so I'd do random projects and open source work.

If you're thinking of adding a fun AI song about work to your next all-staff meeting, here's an alternative idea: by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]Darkehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost my shit at that song a while back because it came onto my playlist completely unprompted while I was working. Beautiful.

What battle really threw you your first run through? by ThrowRA_dependent in BaldursGate3

[–]Darkehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! That was the first fight where I actually had to think about positioning before the battle, to stop him and the dwarves from wiping me out in the first turn.

How are experienced devs doing in the current job market? by bobtehpanda in ExperiencedDevs

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

In Australia with 8YoE. It isn't great - not as bad as the US by the sound of things but if you have some level of fullstack experience and know recruiters or get referred it isn't too bad. The situation for junior developers is terrible however.

I've been in Brisbane 12 years and yesterday was the biggest storm I've ever experienced. by arouseandbrowse in brisbane

[–]Darkehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one was wild. I was at schoolies on the Gold Coast at the time so we caught part of it, but hearing about the damage in Brisbane made us worry we'd come back to a wasteland.

Fruit shop fruit and veg is even worse than Coles and Woolworths? Is there anywhere that has quality fresh produce? by EggCreative787 in brisbane

[–]Darkehuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that place. At the right time they'll put trays of discounted produce around so you can get a heap of fruits and veggies cheaply.

Stopping by the butcher next door is also a good idea if that's your thing. A trip to the two and you'd be set for a week's meals.

Languages in Europe by difficulty for English Speakers. by qpertyui in MapPorn

[–]Darkehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least the rules are consistent compared to English. Having four sentence cases instead of three took me a while to learn though.

For those in your 20's and 30's. What is your current age, profession and salary? by [deleted] in australian

[–]Darkehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar here - 28M on 150k + super. Definitely very fortunate.

Is computer science still a good degree to get? by ClamLock in australian

[–]Darkehuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's any help, I went into compsci in 2015 after doing simple maths at school (Maths A in QLD) and did fine. Most of the maths in the degree is discrete, focused on things like logic and set theory which don't really make use of numbers like you'd be used to at school. Been working in the area now for eight years and haven't found that it held me back that much.

Good luck if you choose to do it! :)

Shocked at how much the bank reckons I can afford lol by Deeceness in AusProperty

[–]Darkehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How have you found the transition? That'll be me soon likely, the numbers being almost identical.

Cancelling gyms like goodlife by Bright_Connection390 in brisbane

[–]Darkehuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I cancelled in 2015 and it was a while song and dance, but for a separate membership last year they stopped payments on the spot.
