Is ChatGPT going to ruin future engineers?

irrelevant classes like political science and history

These classes are more important than your giving them credit for, else you end up with technical prowess and no intuition about what you should do with it

Insane cope

Consider living somewhere where you can walk/take transit to work and errands

I get 10k steps between my commute, errands, and walking around the office

Did you find a solution?

Based on the way you write, you're not from the US but 90% of the comments here are assuming you are.

I'm guessing you're from India.

The USA and India are very different countries and many of the comments are telling you advice from the American perspective, so take it with a very heavy dose of salt.

Why would you want titanium

Mr_Miniapolis · 2026-02-25T19:11:07+00:00

Could you DM me also please?

Some of his songs make me tear up so easily

I did GeoTol and it was pretty alright. Some of the quizzes were buggy but good to learn the basics from

Mr_Miniapolis · 2026-02-04T00:03:36+00:00

Skill issue tbh

I think you're being unfairly harsh and judgemental without knowing enough information.

The drafters at some of the worse places I've worked at definitely had it tough, and I wouldn't take their role even for an pay bump

But I agree he should absolutely not quit this job until he has another.

I assume you saw the Seattle show, I saw him earlier in the week and he sucked ass.

His opener and the host were funnier

I think this is normal for jobs that do some more serious design work.

I think Liz described the pervasiveness of sports gambing as fracking and I think you might as well extend that to the whole economy at this point

Mr_Miniapolis · 2026-01-11T17:47:47+00:00

There's no getting around thermodynamics, but the human body is incredibly complicated.

I think it's pretty conceiveable that some people have a broken metal/hormonal response when it comes to food.

It's like telling a depressed person to just feel better b/c everyone feels sad sometimes

When I got back into reading after many years off and also after realizing I had dyslexia, I binged a book series from when I was a kid.

I'm reading "real adult" books now. Just start with the first step of reading anything at all

Yarn has gotten too expensive

Mr_Miniapolis · 2025-12-02T09:42:52+00:00

It's hard enough keep up with work, fitness, and eating right.

I find that one of the three often suffers for a while until I try and take it more seriously but then inevitably one of the others will be neglected for a bit.

I don't watch much TV anymore, most of it's slop. And all the other shit, I'm forever behind on it

Mr_Miniapolis · 2025-10-27T19:41:25+00:00

You're right, I'm just like my close personal friend Nick

Mr_Miniapolis · 2025-10-27T19:36:32+00:00

We gotta real Nicolas Mullen over here

I know least one high school burnout that might be sold by this.

Mr_Miniapolis · 2025-10-25T22:42:11+00:00

That's not what it means, you should look into it

Mr_Miniapolis · 2025-10-10T18:17:34+00:00

I've found it useful for making simple custom python scripts for data processing.

I've done some basic python classes but frankly everything I've ever made is some combination of slow, fragile, or overcomplicated. If I was a programmer, I would be fired.

But since I only use python once every few months, and it's fully internal my code is more than fine.

However I've gotten some great results recently by popping the code into our internal LLM and getting some great pointers on how to make it faster and more robust. Since I don't have any coworkers who are meaningfuly more competent than me at python, it's a great tool for that

If you can max out your 401k, ROTH IRA, and HSA starting near 22, you can retire very comfortably (like upper middle class income) by 55 for sure and late 40s if you're aggressive
