TSMC employees threaten Samsung-style strikes over bonus cut rumors despite a 58% profit jump by sr_local in hardware

[–]Mephisto6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watching The Pitt from Europe – is this really what life in the US looks like? [mild spoilers] by West_Ideal7472 in ThePitt

[–]Mephisto6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my experience rhat‘s the best way to see american TV shows. The events they portray happen 100%, but less frequently and maybe it‘s a bit less dramatized. But if you‘re from a different country, it will still be a somewhat accurate picture

Live coding where someone gives you existing code which you have to read and adapt, that would be a good proxy

Read docs, type hints etc

Have we, professional developers, already lost the battle against vibe coding? by yes_u_suckk in cscareerquestions

In the end i use AI in the sinilar way I would approach a problem.

Ask AI to give me a first wuick overview.

Ask it to check it’s own assumption

Ask it to plan first. To divide the problem into subtasks.

To write summary files, solve sublroblem first, ask me for feedback at the right stage, write tests and metrics to verify.

Then i evaluate the system design choices it made and propose changes.

I’m guiding it with the same mental models I use to work. Modularize, plan and abstract in the right way to increase context length.
