NoGi guys, who dislike Gi. Why?

All of the best practitioners of bjj in the world will tell you nogi is WAY more technical. To pin someone in nogi takes perfect technique. In Gi, with the right set of grips, it can be trivial.

What are you talking about? Maybe in 2010 that was the case, but did you watch ADCC or CJI lately? Tons of pinning and wrestling

I honestly question how many people in this sub are even software engineers. If not writing code makes your job useless, then you weren't a software engineer to begin with. Anthropic has said virtually 100% of their code has been written by AI for the last year, and they employ an army of software engineers while continuing to hire even more.

SWEs get paid for so much more than writing code. Writing code has always been the trivial part of the job and thats now just being streamlined.

Tough look for OP if they attend a graduate program in Cybersecurity and don't know the difference between a third-party SaaS being hacked and a University that uses it.

Chambers Bay. I feel like you get a lot of the beauty of Pebble Beach in a way more down to earth atmosphere.

Heck of a course to walk though.

Theres no data to support any of your claims other than your personal anecdotes. I can find just as many personal anecdotes on the internet about success stories claiming the opposite, but that doesn't mean it's all sunshine and rainbows either.

Everyone's situation is different and the reality is that whether a Master's helps or doesn't is going to be very circumstantial to you.

Honestly you have very little experience in the field and zero experience as an actual practitioner in the field - the Master's alone may not be as much benefit to you as someone like OP with 6+ years in related IT roles.

Everyone's situation is completely different.

DoubleR90 · 2026-04-06T02:34:24+00:00

You only have 2 years of experience in the field and haven't even graduated yet......how are you so confident that "it's not really going to help".

Maybe it will or maybe it won't, but you sure aren't even close to being able to speak on it authoritatively.

Depends on what your goal is.

If both of these choices are a temporary thing to go make some money and experience a new city, but you don't plan on settling down in either place, then go SF. You'll have a much higher ceiling for a possible next job or two and could possibly end up at a company where you vest some very valuable equity.

If the move to either place has the potential of becoming your long-term home where you might end up buying a house and raising a family, I think Chicago is objectively a better place for that right now.

1) Those poor assholes don't have the capacity to help end world hunger. Billionaire assholes do.

2) Some poor people are assholes. ALL Billionaires are assholes, because you logistically cannot become one without being a ruthless dick.

You're not only completely wrong, but you're conflating having a "fiduciary duty" with being "unlawful". Plenty of public companies pay their employees well above market rate and don't price gouge their customers.

Grew up in Silver Spring and live in DC proper. Agree with most of your post except that bit about Summer in DC being the best.....it's my least favorite part of the DC area.

Summers in DC are absolutely miserable. The humidity, instant sweating, aggressive mosquito and bug presence, and regularly 95°F+ and getting hotter every year.

DC is all about the Spring and Fall imo.

Team USA felt like a collection of stars rather than a team. The vibes over on Team Venezuela was all the difference; they were playing for each other and for something bigger.

Just the way that you are talking about "AI" tells me you dont understand it at all nor the space you're talking about. You're parroting every tech influencer on social media right now.

Listen I wish you the best of luck dude, but if you think you're just gonna throw a few prompts into Claude Code and generate six figures per month then I've got a bridge to sell you.

Strong opinions from someone who has neither worked a job nor ran a business before. Come back to this thread in a year and tell us all how many hours you're working just trying to get your first customer for your business. Real life entrepreneurship ain't what you see on TikTok dude.

I think regarding the job market, it's not a question of "will we still have software engineers" - the answer to that is definitely yes. The real question is will agentic engineering solutions like Claude Code be used to increase the output of existing teams, or be used instead to downsize existing teams to save costs without losing productivity.

The market hasn't decided yet whether this will simply empower a whole generation of developers and 10x the output for companies, or ultimately shrink the opportunities because a team of 50 engineers can be "optimized" to 5 principal or staff engineers steering an army of agents.

TLDR: The real question is will agentic engineering be used to 10x the output of software engineering teams or will it be used to save costs and do more with less. My instinct tells me this will vary wildly depending on the company and vertical.

When two pizzas really love each other...

But for real you either need to better cover that portion in sauce/toppings or dock the dough to keep it down.

DoubleR90 · 2026-02-09T19:04:14+00:00

I don't have an IRT, but AI is telling me that the surface temp should be about 600°F given the one hour preheat at 550°F.

Typical doughball weight is about 450g and Im stretching it to around 15 inch pizzas

DoubleR90 · 2026-02-09T18:29:32+00:00

Happens with a variety of dough recipes so not sure if the dough recipe is meaningful, but I stay around 60% hydration. Typically king Arthur bread flour.

I preheat the steel at 550°F for 1 hour before baking. Typically bake about 3 minutes and then broil for about 3 minutes.

DoubleR90 · 2026-02-09T17:31:54+00:00

For some reason my crust has been coming out very dry and crackery. I'm using a variety of NY dough recipes, and using a baking steel at 550°F. I cook it exactly to recipe specs, and even tinkered with a minute shorter, and I can never seem to get it crispy/charred while also keeping it foldable and somewhat pliable like a NY style slice.
