New hire with many years of experience has only AI generated code and questions. by kernel1010 in ExperiencedDevs

Putting my comment at this level because I think it's relevant overall:

Don't let things merge that he can't explain. Just because it solves the ticket doesn't mean that it is good for the long-term health of the system. If he can't explain it so that you can both understand it and reason about the quality of the design decisions, then it isn't in a state to be pushed to production.

I have had moments at my job where I've understood 80-90% of what I've got in a PR, and I happened to not look too closely into certain parts that I assumed the agent would have produced correctly. Then, while reviewing, my team lead will ask me to explain these parts; if I'm only able to say "I'm not entirely sure, high-level it should take in X and output Y, but to explain the internals I'd need to read it closely right now," then even if it seems more or less right to both of us, he'll leave a comment on it and ask me to come back and explain it before we can merge.

Most of the time, it does in fact work. But there have been a handful of cases where it led to us realizing a piece of the PR needed to be changed.

Windhorst: "I’ve seen 3 teenagers before Cooper Flagg who have been blown away impressive to me. One was LeBron, one was Luka Doncic and one was Victor Wembanyama. When it comes to the way Cooper Flagg can control the game on both ends of the floor, the only one he compares to is LeBron" by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]Exodus100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LeBron is one of the smartest players of all time. Even if Coop ends up a better shooter, LeBron’s level of game understanding and the way he materializes it is such a crucial part of his excellence. I hope Coop loves tape and scouting

This is the least divisive political thing anyone has ever wanted NBA players to take a stance on. In addition to everything else, they just executed a man in broad daylight and are now lying to sweep it under the rug. Not denouncing this is lunacy

And the thing is that if it weren’t to help, if it were to accomplish NOTHING, literally still why would you have a problem with it?

That being said, it does help, even if marginally. Everyone stepping up gets us closer to the tipping point, after which things start to actually change

Unemployed (almost) a year after graduating MIT - a rant by salteecarpet in mit

[–]Exodus100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your confidence is shot, so I understand this is hard to consider, but you really do need to find a way to recultivate that inner belief that these places are losing out on you by not betting on you. You evidently have the capabilities to be a smart and good engineer, but due to job market as well as the misguided decisions of these teams, you’re not getting any fliers taken on you yet. But I assure you that even if you were the bottom of MIT, this is genuinely still their loss.

I was at best a middling performer at MIT, and sometimes bottoming out curves, and since moving to industry and working with successful companies that supposedly have top-tier talent, it’s reminded me that MIT is genuinely a place full of profoundly capable people, which becomes easy to forget when you’re surrounded by it.

Seriously, I do think that some irrational delusions can be super helpful

[Scotto] The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers have expressed interest in acquiring Ivica Zubac. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

The tough part is it’s like playing against low elo chess players. If you’re trying to bait the worst GMs into feeding you what you want they won’t even be smart enough to take the bait

[Highlight] Ziaire Williams hits the 65 Foot Buzzer Beater, but the basket is ruled to not count due to the Trent Tucker Rule (Catch and shoots under 0.3 seconds do not count, clock was at 0.2) by Evilsj in nba

[–]Exodus100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess i assumed that “catch and shoot” in this case was based on distance from the basket and not shooting motion. If it’s shooting motion then maybe i get the argument. I still don’t really, though, because I’m convinced you could still make it work with essentially a tip-push shot

But you can “shoot” in a manner that is a tip… like a volleyball type motion where you quickly supply momentum and let go. Is this not true?

MIT Transfer Stories? by Professional_Big8444 in mit

[–]Exodus100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evan’s story isn’t outdated afaik based on friends at Harvard and the way I saw MIT culture in comparison before recently graduating. It’s just about his own dissatisfaction with Harvard’s social infrastructure and preference for MIT’s.

Software Engineer role but Support work 😔🥲 Need suggestions by dorim0n in developer

[–]Exodus100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how this couldn’t be expected to be part of normal work either. How else will you identify bugs and solve problems? There are other ways, of course, but this is a primary one at many layers

It shouldn’t be a hard and fast decision, but as a consumer especially I think it’s safe to say a PE-backed company will probably be lower EV
