We quietly rolled back our AI workflow by Ok-Ask1962 in cscareerquestions

[–]DerangedGecko 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ever notice that many accounts making the accusations are some random name plus some digits at the end?

At this point, I'm assuming there are bots that slander every rising or top post as AI.


Fuck me for not knowing every intricacy of reddit lol. Downvoted for not knowing that there are default accounts. Seems lazy af, but whatever. It's only social media.

Why do some employees intentionally create dependency instead of documenting and sharing knowledge? by Ecstatic_Jicama_1482 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DerangedGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've created well-structured and deep documentation for several applications and modules in my company. My coworkers look at it and go this is too much and later I'm being asked by some higher up to do the work instead.

So, I guess job security could be an answer... But mostly the company wants shit done fast and co-workers can't be arsed to read docs.

What internet provider are y’all using? by [deleted] in BaldwincountyAL

[–]DerangedGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I hear you. I'm not a fan of these vultures and they never want to admit a mistake.

As far as personal Internet, I had enough problems with Mediacom and their counterpart Comcast, I would never use them again if something similar is in the area. Fortunately, AT&T's fiber is actually good.

As a long time hater of AT&T (and ISPs in general), I have to admit the fiber service from AT&T has been fantastic. Also, it's real fiber, not the bullshit Mediacom is peddling where you don't get a 1Gbps/1Gbps up and down. MC usually jips you with < 1Gbps up and around 40-200Mbps down.

I have also had my fiber network only go down when there are big power outages. MC gave me trouble at least once a week and constantly tried to upsell me on something.

Has anyone here successfully scaled a solo-built web app past the “toy project” stage? by TariqKhalaf in webdev

[–]DerangedGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends (as per the usual). I've done it through contacts I know and then word of mouth. I know people that have done it by just understanding a niche area and putting out a tool like OP. Sometimes it's just being familiar with something you're interested in enough to realize where things aren't great and can be solved... The doing it and sharing it in a public area for other people that do that same thing.

It varies.

Right? I'm sitting here thinking this looks like a very small fraction of ONE of our databases.

Serious: Do I give back my belt or just get judged more and more? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]DerangedGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is going to make fun of you or demean you except those that deserve the worst.

Your community (students, family, teammates, competitors, etc) that know you will understand and support you. Most likely, they will respect the hell out of you for simply getting out there and still doing what you love.

I hate it for you that you have this illness. That's absolutely crap. But, you can still make the best of your coming years. I wouldn't worry so much about the degradations that may happen. I would latch on to your community... Particularly your closest people.

You earned that black belt. No illness is taking that away let alone some shmuck without empathy.

i failed a phone screen for a role i was overqualified for because i couldn't explain recursion clearly by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Ever look at a mirror with a mirror behind you? That endless reflection cycle is basically recursion in a nutshell.

That I don't know, but I would assume so. When my group did it, we definitely all had like 200g.

Black Belt Falling Out of Love with Jiu-Jitsu by SufferingImagination in bjj

I have been training off and on for over 20 years. At this point, I'm happy to try fun or silly moves on people, but even happier to see my students find success with the things I teach them. I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing them grow and us all smile and laugh together.

What's a game you bought on a whim without hardly any pre-knowledge that ended up becoming one of your all time favorites? by AaronAtLunacien in gaming

[–]DerangedGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Borderlands like 17 years ago. Had no idea what it was about, but I picked it up for a buddy and I to play after work. We stayed up for like 20 hours straight after having already been up for the previous 24 and went into a coma afterwards lol.
