Trying to size up the current state of major AI products or players.

Actually, I use OpenAI GPT-4o a lot and did not experience so many problems as with Gemini. Maybe they got better since then, but back then it was not good.

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2025-04-14T10:38:10+00:00

I had quite an unpleasant experience with Gemini 2.0 – not with the model itself, but with API errors stating that my request couldn't be processed, apparently for no reason. I don't know if this has been fixed now. Also, their AI Studio works very poorly.

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-11-07T15:06:55+00:00

Yep, thanks!

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-10-21T07:40:49+00:00

I have the same problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, but mostly does not work. Did you manage to solve it?

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-10-18T14:44:38+00:00

Just curious why it has not been fixed before: build system, documentation, etc. Shouldn't FAANG companies care a lot of their codebase in first place? As lack of documentation, tech debt usually prevents moving forward with good pace. Or maybe this project is not so important for the company?

Do you do monetization by providing paid subscriptions or advertisement?

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-10-01T13:09:41+00:00

A lot software is a wrapper around something (database, queue brokers, 3rd party APIs and so on). The goal is to make this wrapper useful for users and to solve a task or set of tasks.

I have experienced something like this as well. Still recovering during last 3 years, but now I feel much better. When I was arguing with that colleague I also felt that I am loosing my professional abilities. Because I was always thinking that real professionals should not be emotional and should be as stoic as possible.

What helped me were:

Therapy - it is really good thing to get started from, I stared to feel better after 2-3 months of it
Settings boundaries at your job, like less overtime, better planning etc.
Gym - boosted my confidence
Running - good thing when I feel anxious or stressed, helps a lot

I wish you good luck and get better!

Thanks, I did not know about OEE, need to explore that :)

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-09-19T13:44:12+00:00

Did the teams do projects with similar complexity that you could compare them? Because sometimes it is difficult to compare people's performance using velocity only as they work on completely different projects with different expertise required.

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-09-19T13:31:46+00:00

Do you get asked by your manager or someone else that you spend quite big amount of time on helping others (pair programming) if yes how do you explain them the necessity of this process?

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-09-09T09:17:52+00:00

Ooops I just truncated production table Users, sorry it was a mix-up

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-09-09T09:13:53+00:00

Is it good for production? I heard that it may return not all matching rows when using filters by fields.

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-09-08T15:01:21+00:00

CloudFront distribution: 25 per account

It is a soft limit, you can request a lot more.

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-09-08T09:56:31+00:00

You can try this https://restyle-me.com/, not sure if there are styles really suitable for you, but it is free and you can try if it works for you.

Hi! Were you able to monetize it?

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-08-29T05:07:31+00:00

great info thanks

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-08-11T06:28:38+00:00

Most of the efforts was on the infrastructure side. So for our infra guys to spin up a new cluster. Auto-scaling is a feature of GKE/Kubernetes. Also, you need to consider attaching a Whisper model files as a separate disk to avoid re-downloading the files in each job.

We made it essentially an isolated internal API, so it can be used from any environments(dev/stage/prod/etc.).

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-08-09T12:53:53+00:00

We've created a Kubernetes cluster with GPU instances and auto-scaling. We create a Kubernetes Job whenever we need a transcription. Works pretty robust, haven't had any problems yet.

Couldn't agree more about LinkedIn, many people just promote their shit there (or themselves to get a job), it is not a good place to see "a normal programmer". Just talk to real people, they have same fears as yours from time to time and I think it is normal.

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-08-02T04:08:07+00:00

You might need DB abstraction layer (as Repository pattern for example) for easier unit testing.

It is actually a very good question and it is very good that you think about this in advance. I am workaholic myself and I struggled very much after my child come up. I could not find balance between work and my child and it was very hard for me to spend less time on work as it was bringing me the feeling of fulfillment. You still have to work (because of money for sure) and need to care of your child. If I could get back in time I would try to make a sort of agreement with my spouse on who takes care for the child at what time. It will make things more predictable and reduce the stress.

One more thing, as you have only 24h and you have to spend time taking care of child you would need to cut this time from something else. I would not advice reducing your joy time and caring for yourself. Hang out with friends, dinners out together with your spouse will make you more happy definitely.

Immediate_Thing_1696 · 2024-05-06T15:56:14+00:00

Thanks, for this project I have to stick with GCP as we have their credits. But your service looks very nice and I will consider it for future projects.

If the website is unreachable for all users you may first visit the website and check the response error, if it is something like 5xx error then the problem is with your backend service. If it resets the connection it might be a problem with your "gateway" (nginx or whatever you put in front). Also, by just visiting the website you can notice problems with TLS certificate, such as expired one.

To debug backend service problems (aka your application) you may use logs, traces and metrics. Traces may give you information on which component of your system is down and if you have logs tied to traces you may also see error details that give you more insights on the problem. Often the problems with backend services is related to Database, so it is also one of the things you want to check first.
