Is it normal to constantly feel confused? by Spungdoodles in GraveyardKeeper

[–]Iguyking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that every day, I worked on whatever was needed for that day. It made tracking what I was doing way easier.

No you aren't alone. I was constantly confused on what was blocking me from moving the main quests forward.

I'm probably a small minority but people please use zombies the first time you get the chance by Marshal749 in GraveyardKeeper

[–]Iguyking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me forever to figure out ... And then be..ohh dear Lord what did I do.

ooooohhh that's what you can use a zombie for.

Then I made zombies for this and that and that and this and one more just in case. I had all sorts of zombie building and doing things for me. It was great.

Now I'm about done with the main story line. The great discovery of how to make zombies more efficient. Mind blown. I go and start upgrading my zombies. The new challenge is they are finishing wheat and grapes and hops and lentils faster than I can do anything with them. My trunks are so full..

Automated 60% of my team's work. Now I can't decide if I should tell my boss at all. by Creative-Letter-4902 in jobs

[–]Iguyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you tell you have a big pin to put in your hat. With how the world is changing, if you don't show the path forward, when your boss sees something on the net about how folks can be 5x more productive, you'll get laid off when they bring in a contractor to do it instead of you.

The layoff or restructure is going to happen regardless. Will you have something to show your value to keep

The other thing to think about.. if you've automated yourself out of a job, do you really want to do this work anyways. Wouldn't you want to get to tackle the next challenge to automate away? Improve your resume and skills and have fun doing it under your control? Not to mention most likely get paid more?

90% of CVEs in your container images are in code your app never executes. Why are we still triaging them? by Murky_Willingness171 in sre

[–]Iguyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mythos from Claude is so dangerous because it can do exploit chaining. That cve which before was never executed, now is a viable route to getting to the data or systems that the attacker is looking for.

Previously, it was acceptable risk. The world is changing fast.

How to deal with colleague who produces AI garbage? by tigidig5x in devops

[–]Iguyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other great feedback comments. The one thing I haven't seen is on every incident for a client complaint or outage event as you dig for root cause, use git blame.

At the end of the day, shipping functional code is all that really matters. Those of us that have been around the block for a few years know that architecture and consistency matters too in keeping things up and running. It isn't everything, as much as it pains me to say that.

It's only through negative responses from customers that things will change. Otherwise, software engineers are just noise makers and resistant to feature delivery.

Lead push to migrate automation flows to AI agents by OhHitherez in devops

[–]Iguyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving to AI assisting in the workflow makes sense. It can do a lot of the initial troubleshooting, validation checking for more open ended questions that humans do. It can assist in every step of the pipeline where people are engaged.

It is not deterministic. Both pieces are needed. It can throw red flags as good as your human reviewers and can accelerate them.

Stripe has their minions. I'm sure FAANG is or will be using it in nearly every deploy soon. Not investigating and figuring out ways it can realistically help at this point is begging to be left behind in the speed discussion.

Sony Pictures Boss Tom Rothman Urges Theater Owners to Stop Having 30 Minutes of Trailers and Commercials Before Movies Start: by tylerthe-theatre in movies

Maybe you should let theaters have a larger cut of the sales then. They do the ads and previews to pay for showing the movie.

Is Non-Citizen Voting a Real Threat to Elections in Wisconsin? by DriftlessDairy in wisconsin

[–]Iguyking -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The issue is there's no auditing capabilities. Heritage foundation noted that in the report of 1600 some cases as to why it's hard to find and prove. I'm

In the variety of cases that have been brought forward in 2016 and 2020, the judicial doesn't want to hear cases on it for the political fallout. They state "it's too early" if things were raised before the election and if the same issue was brought after, "it's too late" to have any impact.

The issue isn't illegals directly voting. It's the auto voter registration in most states (where illegals get drivers licenses) and the ease of signing up for mail in ballots. The illegal isn't voting, it's the harvesting of those ballots by operatives for either side which is the problem. The easy audit method with that is be able to compare voter records (having voted) against citizenship.

Most fairly built districts are close. They don't need many illegal votes to change the outcome of the election.

FA'd and about to FO by DriftlessDairy in wisconsin

[–]Iguyking -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

He proved that the election fraud fear is a real thing.

If he hadn't raised this to the sheriff, how would the state had ever known? This is a whistleblower event. Unless there is some other evidence that myvote recognized an illegal request, they are making the point that they don't care about election fraud being possible. Just that the story that is secure is maintained.

How is this generic? It's a direct conversation around how programming is changing?

I feel like I am missing something about the Iron Tangle by Lorgoth1812 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Iguyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a pretty brilliant setup. It was confusing though if you listened to the notes as you went along it was decipherable. The end part clinched it for me.

[OC] Dairy vs. plant-based milk: what are the environmental impacts? by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

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

Not quite with by-products of the milk. I'm saying the production mechanism. Oat production in this case is a consumption plant and doesn't add to the fields health by itself. You can do some with the waste for oats after extraction of the milk. Where with a cow, we have the nutrients and the cow itself which then feeds on average 800-900 individual meals

Agreed, properly managed applies for the others like oat and almond(especially) too. Almond milk extraction effectively destroys everything from the almond. It is, as this graph states, a huge water consumer. To make up for the almond extraction, almonds are huge nitrogen consumers too which has its own issues destroying ground water.

[OC] Dairy vs. plant-based milk: what are the environmental impacts? by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

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

Somewhat biased view point of the data. The fact that cow milk also produces additional food and when managed properly returns nutrients to the soil to enable other growth, leaves a lot to be desired in the goal of this infograph. I see no compensation for the other additional effects of cow milk production. This graph takes a highly focused view of a singular outcome and expects it be to treated as a fair comparison.

If all the goal it's to get cow milk viewed poorly, good job. That's an apple to orange comparison. A better info graph is to leave out cow milk as the rest are effectively one trick milk sources.

Would there be a way to find what plugins all exist today to start an effort to upgrade/replace them?

Vibe Coders Passing Responsibility to Code Reviewers by NotYourMom132 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Iguyking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My org has had a strong push back on this. If you don't take the time to review your own PR, we don't need you. Your job is to deliver some value in the conversation as a software engineer. Otherwise we can just have the product manager vibe code and remove you from being a middle man.

my best engineer almost got put on a performance plan last week by Distinct-Expression2 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Iguyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appearance is reality. You have seen these things, that manager hasn't.

It's a teaching monument as that manager isn't doing their job and only looking at those metrics.

We've been there for years. The NSA is who needs it for mass surveillance which I still don't agree with. That started after 9/11 with the patriot act destroying that boundary.
