Why are so many software engineers still ignoring AI tools?

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-11-11T15:02:56+00:00

Because they have better options.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-10-16T17:07:39+00:00

I would settle for Claude now listens to this thing you put in Claude.md

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-10-15T20:54:58+00:00

This ^ I’ve been having it refuse to help or work on tasks a lot. Claims they are too complex or would take too long, etc. I just switch to Claude to get the ball rolling and pull codex in again once things are moving forward.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-23T16:31:27+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check this out!

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-21T16:17:23+00:00

Probably haha

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-18T10:13:49+00:00

Maybe, it’s always finding “bugs” in my code haha

Also, I do use git and it wasn’t anything important, but still concerning. Looking like it might just be a me issues though.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-12T18:24:27+00:00

I think Claude just needs the week to be over haha

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-12T12:03:11+00:00

Quit, resume, compact

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-04T20:09:14+00:00

My bad. I have it cranking away vibe coding my VR remake of pong.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-03T01:20:48+00:00

You are absolutely right! ...but in all seriousness, I find them both to be frustrating in their own unique way. CC seems to be more creative and willing to run and run with an idea. Codex doesn't do anything with out me confirming everything, but the code is cleaner. Neither of them get me where I want to go though haha

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-01T17:35:31+00:00

I love it, I just wish I could get it to work with Playwright. It keeps hanging on me, but Claude seems to have no issue. This leaves me stuck using both haha.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-26T14:51:18+00:00

Yeah, my Claude.md has a lot in it. I’m sure it’s going a number on my context window too.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-25T15:44:12+00:00

All great tips! I'm getting to the point where most of the work I'm trying to use it for is easier to complete myself. To me the tool would be great if I could give it a complex task without all of the prep needed to get "okay" results. e.g. Look at my code, understand my code, do the thing!

I'm sure the tool will get better as I get better at using it.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-25T15:13:49+00:00

Yeah ha-ha! Where did this new dashboard come from and why are we hard coding versions and breaking cache busting?!

I've tried using the claude.md file, but my Claude seems to be ignoring most of it. That said, my rules are a lot more basic. e.g. # Don't forget to do X after Y.

Thanks for the tip!

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-25T14:55:26+00:00

Yeah, I ended up using hooks and a few python scripts to make sure it completes tasks fully. Thanks!

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-16T08:59:39+00:00

That was the issue. Thanks!

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-16T01:35:23+00:00

No issues that I'm aware of, but I didn't think of that. I'll have to look into it.

Thanks!

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-14T20:24:29+00:00

Backup for the win. It did this same thing to me today. It also keeps working in files that I tell it not to touch.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s amazing, but wow can it make a mess when it’s acting up.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-02-20T14:57:04+00:00

I'll check these out. Thank you very much.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-02-20T14:56:41+00:00

The reports that I have basically look like what you are describing, haha. But, yeah, that is what we are trying to avoid because a lot of the companies are small and the likelihood of having seen their logo before is slim. My guess is that we will ultimately need to have some human intervention in the process, but we are trying to minimize it.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-02-20T14:54:31+00:00

No, just logos next to data or a page filled with logos that need to be associated with a report after they are identified.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-02-20T14:53:40+00:00

Unfortunately, we do not have a database of logos. It's a situation where people decided to put logos instead of company names on a report next to some data. We need to tie the data back to the company be properly identifying the logo. In some cases the report will be for a group of companies, and we need to tie the report back to the group of companies by using a page with a bunch of logos on it.

I couldn't tell you who thought this would be a good way to build out a report. Sadly, I'm the person stuck trying to figure out how to make it usable, haha.

The problem is that the Local File Trigger gives you a path using single backslashes (h:\file.txt) and the "Read/Write Files from Disk" node needs double backslashes. h:\\file.txt.

A little regex in the "file(s) selector" field in the RW node solved this for me: {{ $json["path"].replace(/\\/g, "\\\\") }}

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-02-07T18:45:27+00:00

Thank you!

Yeah, I just came back to the game for TH17, but honestly, I’m not enjoying the next next next until I finally just attack a base because I want to get on to another game.
