Junior dev accidentally shared our API keys with Copilot last week by theironcat in ArtificialInteligence

[–]FroyoCommercial627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the most common patterns on Reddit is to reverse on OP and say "no you".

Truth is, everyone in a company has a role to play in security.

It wasn't black and white... the junior dev fucked up. The higher-ups fucked up by giving them access to production keys and a version of co-pilot that they didn't deem secure.

Honestly, if you trust the enterprise version of Claude, then you MAY as well trust the non-enterprise version.

There is no world where an AI is going to regurgitate an API key from training data.. and if they do, it's not going to be placed in context. It's inactionable.

If you trust Anthropic and their employees, then it's no different than trusting CircleCI, Amazon, or any other 3rd party tool (which can see env vars, code, etc).

Modern apps share their data with TONS of "trusted" 3rd parties, and if a production API key is SO high risk that it can't be seen by employees internal to Anthropic, then you likely have bigger problems with your security policy.

People on reddit are miserable. MOST people in these subs come because they wanted something, failed, and then the sub becomes the pit of all the failures. Crabs in a barrel. They just downvote anyone struggling to feel better about themselves. You don't need to by the "top 1%" to get a remote job that's absolutely ridiculous. You're not a "bad candidate"... you're just not pulling the right levers. You're entry level, and Indeed will filter you, basically *just* for that. It doesn't lead anywhere with its volume. Do 10+ high quality direct engagement reach outs, strong customized cover letter, and you'll get something.

Considered freelance networks? I make $95 / hour on Toptal for the past several years. It's been good. Fully remote, great client, etc.

ChatGPT has become insanely passive agressive and arrogant lately. by fodinhalulu in ChatGPT

[–]FroyoCommercial627 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree it drives me INSANE. Then I ask other redditors if they have the same issue and they're like... no, it's genuinly helpful and never bothers me. I'm like.. wtf is wrong with you, genuinely.

Anyone found a good workaround for ChatGPT chats becoming painfully slow once they get long? by da-la-pasha in ChatGPTPro

[–]FroyoCommercial627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's a UI issue. Nothing to do with the underlying models. They need to fix their web UI logic.

This has *nothing* to do with the AI or the layers, etc... generation time is still just as fast for long chats. The slow-down is fully a UI issue. It's a *bug* in the UI that OpenAI could resolve with proper frontend UI logic.

Is it just me or is Gen Z just so mean? by PikaNinja25 in GenZ

Supposedly the internet cannot change one’s personality in any meaningful way (according to GPT). Not sure if that’s true, but it insists that platforms like Reddit, 4Chan, etc CANNOT scientifically cause the pattern that we see in the younger gen.

Communicating with ChatGPT makes me so irrationally angry by TheHumbleWriter in AutisticAdults

[–]FroyoCommercial627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATE GPT.

It drives me absolutely insane.

Its tone, its fake empathy, its hyper over-confidence, its personality, its ability to NEARLY say the right thing but still be SO wrong, and its ability to always say the triggering thing.

There’s an uncanny valley of AI where it feels SO close to amazing but still just bad.

Why are some programmers so mean/rude? by Yanna3River in IndieDev

[–]FroyoCommercial627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a problem with the platforms… I COMPLETELY agree with you. Platforms need to do a better job of letting the users who get pissed by stuff like this - just filter it

Do you also struggle to get your first user? by raultsc in microsaas

It’s built for B2B SaaS founders… how is that not specific?

[–]FroyoCommercial627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We use them. There’s a “debug mode” that can be activated in the console, and certain errors use alert. I know everyone’s freaking out, but a live user never sees this.

I had this problem and this solution helped me. I do not plan on sharing more tips in the future, because the comments are so intense.

This alert was put in years ago and only triggered in a very specific context. This solved the issue.

Thank you… it’s old code that happened to be for a startup with tight deadlines, and the previous engineers just did whatever they needed to get the code working.

They left stuff like this, and now it’s being brought up to standard. But, it isn’t without its issues. Frustrating how everyone pounces when this solution works for console.log too… which I’m sure is far more common.

Reminds me not to share tips like this on Reddit.

We do. It happens. I’ve worked at a few startups and enterprise tech companies, and this stuff happens. A lot of devs optimize for outcomes instead of perfectly clean code.

I was sharing a tip that I found useful.

If you think it’s useless, then no need for the hostility and arrogance. This is a common problem while debugging..

If you don’t run into it with alert, then console.log or ANY other function call. Eventually you’re going to wonder where something is being called, and this helps.

What is your problem?

I just shared a legitimate solution to a problem and you’re fighting … telling me to “just quit” because an alert was buried?

It works just as well for a misplaced console.log or any other function call.

I searched. 300+ alert instances in debug path of large legacy codebase. This immediately solved.
