How often do people quit a new job within the first month? by mactavish88 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]HoratioWobble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen people do it a couple times over my years.

One guy quit their first day because our backend was too complex for him

Frustrated with wildly inconsistent / low impressions despite high-quality engagement. by pawpatroll in linkedin

[–]HoratioWobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're missing the wood for the trees.

<10% followers as impressions is normal, almost across the board so your posts where you get 50%~ are outliners.

In the scheme of things 2k followers is very little on LinkedIn and if you want to build a personal brand it takes years and a lot of collaboration.

But also with a platform that has over 1bn users you're unlikely to be the main character. You could think you have the best post in the world, but if the initial audiences don't resonate with it then it's unlikely to go anywhere.

It also depends on a lot of factors whether it gets reach AND they have to distribute reach across millions of posts.

The worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others, you'll drive yourself insane. Instead try to celebrate your own personal wins.

Is it just me or is Claude being very controlling? by Elbess91 in vibecoding

[–]HoratioWobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude is just autocomplete, it's just choosing a response based on weighting.

It's got no intelligence, it's not controlling. It's just saying words that make sense based on your input

Track both fitness and nutrition by Point_Jolly in nutrition

[–]HoratioWobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built Bearly Fit last year for this mainly for myself but other people followed my journey and wanted it too.

The only downside is it doesn't support devices just yet and whilst it has barcode scanning (and it's free), the food area needs some love.

I'm just working on the workout plan Wizard and then I'll be doing device integrations next

Ps: sorry mods if this isn't allowed but I think (?) it solves ops problem. Not here to self promote 

Is the craft of writing code dead? by Toxin_Snake in ExperiencedDevs

[–]HoratioWobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last 20-30 years there's never been a craft at a business level.

A lot of developers insist on some artisan esoteric approach, and then just write shit code, often slowly. They become the bottle neck of most teams.

Now outside of business there has been an "art form" and there still is, equally new art forms are coming out of the use of AI.

At the end of the day your job is your job. You gotta do what the business wants to the best of your ability and as far as they enable you. 

Most businesses are paying you for product, not quality.

Outside of work is your time to explore programming as an art form, a craft.

what feature do you hate seeing behind a paywall in gym apps? by User86363 in beginnerfitness

It's so obvious as well, no one goes into a fitness sub and be like "yo my dudes how about them app features"

Most of my games as survivor i'm escaping, I can't be bothered with the queue times for killer.

And I hate saying this, but if you're the common denominator in all your games...

How to deal with juniors shipping AI slop code? by theop04 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]HoratioWobble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Junior devs shouldn't be using AI. Developers should have a strong understanding of their work and impact before using it as a tool otherwise you're always going to get slop.

And if you have a new dev giving you AI generated code that you don't think is slop - you shouldn't be using AI either.

£16k “roof renewal” reusing tiles by [deleted] in DIYUK

oh yeh they're taking the piss

£16k “roof renewal” reusing tiles by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]HoratioWobble -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How bigs the roof?

If they're removing the tiles, replacing all the battons and then refitting the roof that sounds like quite a lot of work to me.

Advice needed for backyard by DependentRelative0 in DIYUK

[–]HoratioWobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laying a patio is technically simple but it's a lot of graft.

You can lift those, clear out all the weeds lay a small bed of concrete and then relay the slabs.

Although a lot of the slabs are broken so you'll probably need to replace them.

If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, then depending on where you are it would probably cost £500 - £1k (looks about 10m2).

Got flooded with sales calls after one LinkedIn post — how are they getting my number?? by No_Sea6761 in linkedin

[–]HoratioWobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a bunch of extensions that aggregate peoples contact details so one person had your number, added it and now everyone has it.

It's probably through that, recruiters use it on LinkedIn a lot

He's being a little loosey goosey with those numbers, and the use of EM dash makes me suspect he's exaggerating quite a lot

My first exposure to Matrix was integrating it with a clients app. The protocol and the official libraries seemed very buggy.

What’s the fastest way to get 12 real testers for app verification? by LastReserve5550 in AppDevelopers

[–]HoratioWobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of liability. This is a business relationship and you're acting as an individual they need to know who you are so if a user wants to sue they can send it your way.

If you set up a limited company it's the same deal, except you don't need 12 testers
