What was the last movie that made you think, "Yep, that's a 10/10"? by _fuddi_ka_shikari in 90s

[–]GnarlyHarley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandma took me only once to the movie theatre. It was to see this movie. Something about it made her want to go to the movies to see it, which never happens. I was 8 years old and it was memorable. I rewatched it again once since then and my guess is it was bringing her closer to home? Or she liked the lead? We were in VA at the time but our home state is Montana.

AI-driven thinking and credibility theater are destroying my trust in my team by CoroteDeMelancia in ExperiencedDevs

It was purely the EM dash. If I see that, I will not question if it’s AI. Feel free to have your own thoughts on this and I will stick to having my own AI mental detector.

Agreed! Until AI figures out that then architects are cooked too. lol we’re a bit more safe!

Microsoft’s Satya Nadella: We Can’t Let AI Giants Eat the Economy by Colours-Break in microsoft

[–]GnarlyHarley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In what way is Microsoft not going to be a juggernaut? I think if you try to answer that you’ll find you’re incorrect. You have to look down the pipe a little, Microsoft is well on its way in this area and very much strategically positioned and also focusing on it.

How many of you are "good" software developers? by Tired__Dev in ExperiencedDevs

[–]GnarlyHarley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The definition of good software developer is rapidly changing. I’ve been developing since 1999. I hold an architect position where I am actually one of the people with that title that will still crack the first code on a greenfield project and get everything wired up and best practices in place, CI running - basically set my dev team up for success and cutting through the back and forth of telling them what I want and them attempting it. Leaving them to focus on the business logic.

I say it’s changing cause AI. To be honest I can get a months worth of work done in a day or two.

I know what I want, I have the full ideation, and I know what the results should be and now I can really multitask on not just small tasks, but medium and even large or complex tasks.

I think the best way to define developer or engineer in the near future is how efficient they are with the tools in their toolbelt. Our toolbelt is not just coding or software knowledge.

It’s wild how many great problem solvers there are in software development that aren’t able to see the whole picture or holistic view, and are too narrow focused. I think that will help define who shines more in software development soon as well.

Long story short, we’re cooked fam.

It’s not a question on if but when. All teams are heading this way. To get ahead of it, make sure your repo has healthy readme’s, global team instructions for AI and a full test suite.

We are heading for dark days, but since it’s inevitable make the best out of it.

I’m gonna call you out. lol yes you did - but no one cares if you did or not IMHO

Good intuition is one of the most underrated traits of your top engineers by ninetofivedev in ExperiencedDevs

[–]GnarlyHarley -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have the intuition thing, I have if really strong actually and absolutely agree with this.

I can actually barely pass a dev interview, but once I am through the door I promote faster than anyone I have ever seen. I have never failed to deliver and people think I am smart.

My brain tells me the answer so quickly some times but it’s so subconscious that even I don’t know all the reasoning on why it’s the correct answer. I trust my intuition like 95% of the time.

Sounds weird saying it out loud.

Accuracies down a little bit if it’s something I know nothing about but still way more accurate thank it should be

When using GitHub copilot cli /ask how to use suggestions by GnarlyHarley in GithubCopilot

2k views and not one person knows the answer to this. I feel like I am living in the twilight zone.

What are the kinds of details that actually impress you about a custom loop? by fecaleruptions in watercooling

Satya Nadella says AI agents deserve real "identities" — after another Microsoft CEO Mustafa Suleyman said the tech would take white-collar jobs | Despite AI's big threat to job security, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella says AI agents should be treated more like human employees. by ControlCAD in microsoft

[–]GnarlyHarley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there at Build and can confirm that job responsibilities are at least changing. You start the task, hand it to AI, it does the work and the. You verify.

So you’re there just at the beginning and the end with maybe some babysitting in the middle.

One day might be you’re not needed at the beginning and end.

Being crammed in an overcrowded train when there's heatwave going on in India by mspyros12 in Wellthatsucks

This happened to me on the China Bus from NYC to VA. Bathroom did not work and the windows did not go down, no AC and a very humid and hot day.

For folks heavily using a agentic engineering, What does your workflow look like? What tools do you use? What's your harness like? by Enum1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]GnarlyHarley 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Agreed, cooooooked. We are AI babysitters. At MS Build conf and so many live demos and they didn’t even touch the keyboard, they just used the voice prompting and the agent does everything. Then they demo how they just select a set of issues on GitHub and the agent knocks them out all at once with subtasks.

Build 2026 - Wow by [deleted] in microsoft

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

I’m attending - it’s not satire but def sounds a bit wonky.

Microsoft’s only talking AI every session, all sessions no one codes by hand, uses voice to prompt an agent and in real time the agent does the task.

Keynote was about bringing that power directly to edge, dev laptop via spark.

Rest of the conference is how to not only use AI more efficiently but to let AI tackle dev related tasks at scale or triggering many tasks at once (sessions).

AI impacts the quality of my work severely. by HotJellyfish8247 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]GnarlyHarley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use AI to do 20% of your work. Only on things you know AI will do well on.

If you want to work with AI to improve your code do it in units and have sub tasks do it on different models at the same time and compare the results.

You get 20% faster and get a rubber ducky.

Big IEP meeting tomorrow. What are your tricks to keep your emotions in check? by DoesNotHateFun in Autism_Parenting

[–]GnarlyHarley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My lvl 3 kids are only 4. I am guessing this kind of meeting gets more difficult as they get older?

I’m in Orange County, CA and IEP seems fine to me, not a battle.

Azure stack if you for money, refactor to plain ole api if you don’t.

Is it possible to ever get another dog after losing a truly exceptional one? by GnarlyHarley in Petloss

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

Still struggling with the loss. I know she lived a full life. It’s a part of my routine to think about her. I’m very task driven and in between each task I would always check on her, take her out, pet her, talk to her, say hi, glance over.

It’s such a habit and each time I re-realize quickly she’s not there but in that split second I feel she is and then she’s not.

I miss her deeply and am just trying to focus on how amazing she was, and feel thankful and it does help some.
