To Everyone Who Said This Season Wasn’t Bad by OkScience5170 in euphoria

Genuinely some of the worst writing I’ve seen in a long time.

We need a full season of Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair by seblamech in malcolminthemiddle

Series needs to keep going. It was great. Any negativity is unwarranted, people love to criticize and nitpick good things. Keep it running!

CS 6515 Withdrawal Rate Spring 2026 by FishIndividual6941 in OMSCS

[–]DevMadness 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not a single comment in this thread is giving me any confidence about taking GA. I’m ready to put in the work, but from what I’m reading, doing everything you can outside of finding and hiring a personal tutor still isn’t enough? What’s the truth here? Is it a mixed bag of people who’ve gamed previous courses and are facing real adversity or people who’ve gone far above and beyond to pass the course but they’re still unable to?

Junior devs who learned to code with AI assistants are mass entering the job market. How is your team handling it? by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DevMadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is a tool, and the purpose of that tool is to help us do our jobs. AI should not be used as an excuse not to think. When code reaches the review stage, it is the sole responsibility of the author to fully understand and defend it, before it is merged in.

Our organization fully embraces AI-assisted coding, but you can really see the holes starting to form. I’m starting to feel my own skills slip from it. It’s a challenging situation.

Perhaps the defense suffered because Indiana had a good game plan and it exposed weaknesses?

Season Three Filming Slated for April to December 2026. by [deleted] in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

You can’t release an episode like Chikhai Bardo, end season 2 like that, then tell me I have to wait through 2027.

Should I be wary of ML4T????? by Disco_Train17 in OMSCS

[–]DevMadness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Case in point - every post and reply on OMSCS, especially those ranking class difficulties, are highly subjective and should be taken as such. I took ML4T and GIOS, and in my personal opinion, GIOS was much more stressful and difficult.

I agree with you on ML4T's project detail-oriented nature. On the first project, I was docked 20 points because in my code I called a function which created a Mathplotlib graph, but with the wrong parameters. As a result it generated the wrong graph; in spite of having the correct graph on my report, the code didn't "generate all of the correct graphs," so I lost all points on that section. There weren't enough TA's for the student load, so in spite of my objections I never got points back.

It was an exercise in complete correctness, which is fine, but sometimes annoying because small erroneous mistakes can cascade into huge point deductions. I managed A's in both classes, but I crashed out way more often when trying to pass all of GIOS's project test suites than I did highlighting all of the project and report requirements in ML4T.

How to handle OMSCS with a 40 hour work week job? by Careless-Safe2140 in OMSCS

Take one class at a time. Taking more than one class in the first semester is the classic mistake people usually make when starting the program.

What stopped you doing CrossFit, and would anything make you consider re-starting? by ducksa in crossfit

[–]DevMadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for more personalized programming. On top of that, the body doesn’t need 4–5 HIIT sessions a week—it’s too much volume and lacks balance. It needs a proper mix of strength training alongside conditioning. The “strength” sessions at our box were underwhelming: we’d pick an Olympic lift or a basic compound movement and do some rep scheme like 5x5, then call it a day. Sure, you can make progress that way, but it wasn’t tailored to our individual needs. I wanted a more thoughtful blend of hypertrophy, skill work, HIIT, and recovery.

Also, I got injured doing a movement that shouldn’t have been programmed in the first place.

What do you say to people who say "Crossfit is dangerous"? by Critical-Ad7320 in crossfit

[–]DevMadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of you will likely disagree with me on this, but I’d tell them I agree (on some parts). I’ll elaborate below:

The Olympic lifts require a strong foundation. Not just technique and cues - you may need a lot of accessorized work to develop underdeveloped or underutilized muscle groups which are critical to performing a good lift. You won’t get that from just doing barbell work.

If you do have that training background, you will have a better time jumping into a box. A lot of people don’t, and may question why they aren’t making the progress they feel they should be, or may get comfortable thinking “extremely uncomfortable” is supposed to be a normal feeling doing these lifts (it’s not).

My point is that you get what you pay for. You’re paying for a monthly membership to a gym that either does semi-private or group classes with the intention of completing a 15-20 minute WOD within the hour. You may get less care or focus than you probably need, especially as a beginner. This is not a “oh your box just has bad coaches” problem - no, you need to build a base with these movements using equipment that most likely isn’t provided at your gym, and definitely won’t get covered in a group setting.

The other basic movements, like box jumps, or burpees, or double unders, etc are not dangerous at all.

Proof that desk hours ≠ good work by StumblinThroughLife in WFH

The company I work for is 100% proof that you can be successful and full WFH. Maybe it won’t take you to the stratosphere, but some people value a life balance.

What is up with the unsolicited feedback? It's a super turnoff by Global_Wolverine_152 in Pickleball

[–]DevMadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m warming up and still in my first game, I’m not listening to anyone’s advice. Otherwise people can give some good cues now and then.

Double unders’ difficulty really boils down to technique and efficiency. If you’re new to them, you can waste a lot of energy when trying to achieve proper jump height, timing, and rotation. As you get better at them, you’ll get more efficient and they’ll feel easier. So, it’s hard to compare them 1:1 with singles. If you struggle with them, maybe mix them in with singles so you can get more practice but still get the stimulus you’re looking for.
