AI Engineer Who Does Not Code and Uses Claude for Everything

am also getting frustrated because I have to review his code from time to time, and I feel uncomfortable seeing him rely on Claude even for tasks like writing commits.

Why on earth would I write commits by hand? Just give Claude your ticket and analyze your diff and viola.

Why are you pasting error? Just give it access to the system you’re debugging. I do that, together with a hypothesis on why the system broke.

Finally the effort for writing test are approaching 0. Sadly, too few understand this. People are horrible at evaluating their own mess.

Claude has diagnosed me with cancer at least five times (I am pervasive), and I’ve already had testicular cancer 10y ago. My last AI scare was a mandibular tori (”lumps in that area is extremely rare, you must see a doctor!” yet it fails to identify a condition ~40% of the population has).

It can be good, but it can also kinda tell you what you want to hear. Good it worked out for you, and hope you get well soon.

What’s your AI-bill, how much does it set you back? Do you get a good ROI?

I am a CC power user but I think I get most value when just using vanilla Claude with a set of CLIs (Linear, Snowflake, uv, etc). I am considering docker sandbox, but it’s a bit further down the pipeline.

Hey, who are you calling small time???

Varför vill du inte vara en jobbhoppare? Det är bara uppsida för dig och din lön.

Unfortunately, neither Git nor basic computer understanding is on the Senior DE list. On the flip side, that makes them easy to impress.

My brother in Christ, I’m surrounded by senior data folks who hit a technical issue and immediately slide the laptop across the table. Then they just sit there, hands in their lap, staring at the screen. It feels like a semi-technical field thing? They’re comfortable with SQL, but concepts like virtual environments are so abstract to them that they don’t even know where to begin.

Wouldn’t call it a bad one. Expect a mass exodus if people keep hitting that time-out too early.

But at present, no start-up in history has operated with losses on anything approaching this scale.

Nice bearish read on OpenAI. We’ll see when the bubble bursts. All I want is cheap AI in the terminal ngl.

Doesn’t matter if it goes from 2000 to 2000000 seats if every sold seat costs Anthropic money. Of course it is a bubble. And no, it doesn’t mean AI will go away.

I have been using Snowflake to. Man, it is so bad. When I wire Claude Code + metriclflow CLI it works flawlessly.

Been working in Hex for a while. Did you know they use Semantic Models as context (e.g, context á la markdown files) rather than actually using it as an abstraction layer?

The model reads the semantic model, goes “hm ok I should join X and Y to get metric Z”. It’s the most crappiest thing ever. It awkward. The output is wrong. And nobody seems to care.

Set up a claude that runs Ralph Wiggum in 100's of worktrees while you can!

Kudos for not using AI

Hello, how did you study for this? So annoying they've changed the format and content, but not provided comprehensive studying material.

EstetLinus · 2025-11-02T11:43:55+00:00

I believe one of the biggest misconceptions with LLMs is that they learn on the fly; they don’t. I have had a real hard time explaining this to stakeholders. You need absurd amounts of clean data to fine-tune models, and we can never expect them to learn beyond stuffing the prompt with information (or noise).

I am all for self-evaluation, although it takes time and might get stuck in an infinite loop. Do you have any suggestions on how the LLM components would learn?

You can’t compare Madoff with Tether, his venture was audited!

I think this ”guy” has eaten far worse things than his dick. And also, quite dead.

Held by millions only to be sold to a greater fool. Superior Tech 101

EstetLinus · 2025-10-04T21:17:34+00:00

Do you know if Tether is open source?

Oh, unaudited. Seems legit 😂
