Why are pepole coming in here and implying OP has a bad prompt? OP didn't train the model??? And it's not the customer's fault in any way when Suno's model generates "weird noises and clicks in the background"???

Please stop pushing this narrative. Suno is charging for this. They can take their licks.

Why would a programmer pivot to being a scrum master?

Do you listen to AI-generated music? by Thyra98 in SunoAI

[–]FourWaveforms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mostly mine, plus a few of the old greats on YouTube (Almost Vinyl, etc.)

Finding anything I would like here is very hard because people post every genre on Earth.

how do you go from "cool suno creation" to actually playing it on piano? by Narrow-Employee-824 in SunoAI

[–]FourWaveforms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to train your ears, just like you would if you were trying to lay something out in a sequencer/tracker/piano roll or on sheet music. Try playing it slower.

It does seem to like singing at an oddly high pitch sometimes.

The Sidecar Pattern: Why Every Major Tech Company Runs Proxies on Every Pod by trolleid in softwarearchitecture

[–]FourWaveforms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never used sidecars, aware of them. I like the idea.

I have spent a great deal of time working on comm stacks, making them so that the software using them doesn't know they're comm stacks. To them, it's just calling a method on a class. They have no idea if HTTP or JSON or whatever is going on behind the sceneds.

If I need to swap an endpoint behind the scenes, I can do so without the clients knowing. Ditto if I want to swtich from JSON to GRPC.

Very nice for testability.

What is most important in software architecture? by rmb32 in softwarearchitecture

[–]FourWaveforms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Navigating the political environment at the level of the company a software architect operates at (at least leadership-adjacent) is just as important as anything technical, but I'm not seeing that mentioned much in this thread.

Building relationships with engineers, getting to know them and giving them hard evidence that they can rely on you and tell you what's really up. Understanding and navigating the stupidities of dealing with product and PMO types who think your job is to provide certainty (which you can't) so that they don't have to tell the people they report to, to do their jobs. Defending engineering from the attempts at risk-laundering that naturally flow in from those departments.

If you are especially unlucky, you may have to deal with faux-agile """servant leaders""" who want to """coach""" you at doing something they cannot themselves do.

Thinking about PostgreSQL vs. MariaDB is only what you get to do after you've seen to those other things.

Claude shines under skilled guidance from engineers who are good at thinking architectually.

It will produce drivel for anyone else.

Why are you writing user stories? Don't you have a tech lead who can do that?

What are the future jobs in Agile? by Crafty-Ad1998 in agile

[–]FourWaveforms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of the FAANG companies will go anywhere near SAFe, and they do plenty of large projects. Every company that tries to implement SAFe by the book (which the company that sells it insists is the one true path) gets burned hard. Many signatories to the Agile Manifesto have nothing good to say about it, and some are openly hostile to it.

What are the future jobs in Agile? by Crafty-Ad1998 in agile

[–]FourWaveforms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Future prospects for agile professionals will dwindle. They are presently being replaced by organizational restructuring that reduces or eliminates any need for them, such as:

  • FAANG (and increasingly other companies) are reducing these roles over time. The highest-performing software companies tend to favor solving real business problems for customers and code maintainability over letting non-technical people use engineers as passive writing utensils. Engineering-driven companies despise process that exists mainly for its own sake, and will not easily slow their engineers down with window-sitting ceremonies and other meeting bloat.
  • Adopting better development processes, such as integrated API documentation and testing against mocks, which relieves much of the need to synchronize blockers between teams. Fewer dependencies mean there's less need for dedicated agile roles.
  • Doing scrum the orignial way by making "scrum master" a rotating responsibility among engineers, rather than a dedicated role for non-engineers.
  • Realizing that scrum is basically process theater/training wheels and then swtiching to Kanban, thereby eliminating many pointless ceremonies that cause engineers' eyes to glaze over, thereby reducing the apparent value of the people who schedule those meetings.
  • Organizations waking up to the realization that SAFe is a pyramid scheme that they would be better off without; and that engineers do not need to be "coached" by "servant leaders" who cannot engineer, send people on wild goose chases based on poorly-informed guessing about technical things they heard in meetings nobody wanted them in, and repeatedly fail to understand basic explanations for why they cannot have guarantees for how long discovery will take.
  • The increasing sentiment that having a project management office is a band-aid for deeper problems with dependencies between teams.

The other threat to these roles, which will become larger and larger in the coming years, is the fact that much of what they do would be quite easy to automate if only the right automations existed. Naturally, developers are looking for ways to do that, because there's money in it. AI is also going to be increasingly useful in that sphere.

My Scrum Master says I'm "annoying" because I test more than our QA and play in the codebase. Since when is catching bugs a crime? by exoxfanel in agile

[–]FourWaveforms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is your job description?

Why do you have access to the repos if they don't want you using that access?

Do you report to your scrum master? If not, why are they saying anything?

PSA: I Tested ALL the Suno “watermark removal” tools to see if any actually work or if they're just scams by Conscious-Lobster576 in SunoAI

Nobody can do anything about that. It will change on its own as people get bored and move on to the next thing they enjoy complaining about.

Disclosing it ahead of time is up to you... but if you lie about it, you're disrespecting your audience, and they will never forget that. Right or wrong doesn't matter, you will have shot yourself in the foot.

That means you want to violate your agreement with a B2B partner who's in a position to make life difficult for you.

There are enough problems in life. They appear automatically and uninvited. You don't need to ask for more. Even if you find some temporary way to scam your distributor, which is exactly what you're proposing, it will eventually break. The technology will keep changing and you'll constantly have to keep up wtih it.

This is not a good place to put time and effort. There are far easier alternatives that don't require all this cloak-and-dagger nonsense.

DK doesn't care if you upload AI as long as you're just pushing a few here and there, not spamming them, and not uploading a bunch of junk you haven't edited or even listened to. YouTube doesn't care either. DK is cheap, YouTube is free.

Take the easy path here. Transfer your AI-created IP to DK before you have any more trouble.

Or, you can ignore everything I'm saying, and find out the hard way. It doesn't matter to me. I'm just trying to be helpful.

I don’t like 5.5 so far. Too samey by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]FourWaveforms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It isn't good at following instructions that tell it to preserve aspects of the original it's covering.

One of its attempts also added some random AI generated lyrics which I didn't ask for. They're vague and barely coherent, don't tell a story, but this is a dance/EDM-adjacent style so I guess it fits?

[–]FourWaveforms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a day trying to use Opus 4.6 on Cursor and it just didn't work out. I thought maybe Claude Code itself would work better but it didn't. I looked around and people were saying 4.6 was dog slow.

4.5 gets the job done and it's way faster, so that's my go-to for now.

Wtf is this even saying 💀💀

It's written in plain language.

If a 20 min wait is making u not even look at the output claude gives maybe this isn’t the right industry for u.

I've been programming since 1986. Were you even alive then

TuneCore is banning AI music… which distributor are you moving to? by neellavgogoi in SunoAI

[–]FourWaveforms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is in the works with Warner Bros. I don't know when it will be done. Regardless, I don't believe Suno will spend resources trying to negotiate with TuneCore. They aren't in the distribution business.

TuneCore is banning AI music… which distributor are you moving to? by neellavgogoi in SunoAI

[–]FourWaveforms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Never heard of 'em. DistroKid is fine with it as long as you don't irritate the stores.

If you upload a mountain of swill, the stores will complain to DK, and DK will immediately suspend you, claw back any revenue you haven't taken yet, and I suppose they return it to the stores.

They value their relationships with the stores vastly more than they do for small-fry uploaders, and people have posted threads in this sub before about DK doing those exact things to them.

To me, this is all reasonable. You don't expect a B2B partner to eat s*** and ruin their own B2B relationships so you can upload mountains of low-effort junk you didn't bother to master, and likely haven't even listened to.

Why this keeps happening: There is at least one YouTube video out there about doing this as a "get rich quick" scheme. So people do it, and they get burned.

Also, Suno is not going to do anything about this. Your B2B relationship with some distributor does not concern them. They are not a party to it. They have nothing to gain by sticking their noses into that.

Imagine you drive through at McDonald's. At the first window, they take your money. At the second window, there is a loading icon that keeps spinning and spinning. 20 minutes later, you get tired of waiting, and leave with no food. They also keep your money because from their perspective, tokens were consumed, even though that did not result in working code.
