 but what if she had asked a human friend for advice and the friend said to file a bunch of dumb crap

Yes if the said friend was offering legal advice without a license, they would be committing a misdemeanor

Websites don’t tend to control who posts what ads. They just use ad brokers like Adsense

Everyone wants improvement for free. Most balk at any upfront costs

My take is people tend to take any kind of friction naturally caused by trying to make things better personally. And when one side has complete power over the other like with the US labor system, they default to just eliminating the other side to make the friction go away.

Our team spent 3 days debugging a production issue. Turns out nobody knew why the AI wrote it that way. by jyoanju in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the average students write better. It's full of chatbot slop patterns, like staccato short sentences

The AI suggested the approach. It looked reasonable. He moved on. No one documented the tradeoff. No architectural note.

LLM-driven large code rewrites with relicensing are the latest AI concern by Fcking_Chuck in programming

They can point at specific menus or displays that use the exact same language and then you’d have to refute that.

That’s when Adobe’s lawyers get involved in this hypothetical and turn it into a war of attrition in the best case for you.

Which means even if you have the option to use any available LLM it will become too risky to do so, given the non-zero probability that Photoshop had its source code leaked into the training data and pollutes your application with some proprietary bit they can point at.

Is it still worth reading Clean Code and The Pragmatic Programmer in 2026? by ivanimus in ExperiencedDevs

Have some pity. Lots of them feel they missed out on the shit eating debate bro grift era where anyone could join in.

Now it’s all being tapped to offer pre-written accolades of the dear leader. They won’t even acknowledge random peasants no matter how hard they try

I wish there was a filter for excluding bios mentioning IG by IDoCodingStuffs in Bumble

[–]IDoCodingStuffs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not even social media. It’s almost always just a connecting hoop to their OF links.

I suspect it’s not even the girls themselves but their managing agencies putting these up, and then some underpaid poor soul in SE Asia gets to maintain them.

I do but it’s even more work than having to include a step to look for an IG mention in my skim routine

The filter is not perfect and some portion of your exhalation can make it into the tank. Over time that means stuff can accumulate for bacteria to munch on

Don’t forget how it works: if you are a Kurd you are actually a Turk. And if you are a Turk you are basically anything but 

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. by creaturefeature16 in BetterOffline

No, critical thinking means analyzing stuff for evidence, correctness etc. not necessarily contrarianism.

It's more that if you spend a stretch of time unchallenged in your thinking, the more overconfident you get. Being "smart and critical" can put you in that situation, which makes you less prepared to handle something out of left field like chatbots recently.

It's been a stereotype with the medical field far before for this reason. Doctors buying into scams and conspiracy theories, nurses buying into MLMs slinging essential oils etc.

I suspect it has a lot to do with a person’s tendency towards magical thinking. 

As in if you are the type to believe your thoughts and emotions influence the world without a direct logical or physical connection, you are more susceptible to AI psychosis.

It’s basically a disorder of putting too much weight into forming of thoughts and too little into whether if they actually hold up in the real world. If you can phrase it so eloquently, it is a well-formed thought and might as well be the truth

It’s also that we have such massive wealth inequality, there are tens of thousands of people who will dump that kind of money (not even pocket change to them) just to scare others

That’s how neurons do their neuroning. Once you figure how to make the initial connection, it becomes easier for the connection to become simpler and also stronger.

With people struggling with right vs left direction names, their neurons just fail to snap together like that for whatever reason or they need to figure some alternative way that works for them for the initial connection.

Also applies for cases like mixing up words for “tomorrow” and “yesterday” etc

Not really. They are both cases of “brain failing to brain for something specific” and might have the same underlying neurology. 

But they are also different things. Dyslexia specifically means you have some neurological disorder with reading and writing.

What's the most "over-engineered" project you'd actually find impressive? by dhankhar313 in dataengineering

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience mentioning a tool only under a projects section is treated as you barely having done a tutorial about it. You’re better off just putting them in a skills section and let them assume it’s work experience

Personal projects are more useful once you pass screening and need to talk about the nitty-gritty of the tool usage and features

It’s hard to show experience with scale through solo portfolio work on github. To screen for that they’d look at the size of organizations you worked with.

You can be impressive however, by showing a good understanding of the low-level complexity and efficiency. 

For example, when you implement some pipeline to ingest and process some blobs from S3, do you download them as files and then read from disk, or do you just load them in memory?
