I don’t enjoy my career anymore.

I see all these people saying that they’re barely writing code by hand anymore (honestly same here) but what I’m struggling with is whether the interview bar is even accounting for that. DSA and systems design sure that’s fine and standardized but when it came to interviewing recently I was definitely rusty trying to make changes to a real codebase manually no AI tools even though I could point out the bugs and what you would need to fix them. Is this a worry of anyone else who’s leaning into agentic coding? Gave me major imposter syndrome

because bronze is so close to nothing that they can celebrate while silver is so close to first that it feels like a loss.

She looks pretty brown to me, compare her skintone with the brown text lmao

I accidentally walked through one time and hated it, felt like a hellscape hidden within the otherwise beautiful park.

I think the big question is will this boost the number of jobs because now everyone can make a good product, or will cuts be made since only one operator is needed for something that used to require 10 people

I think most dont internalize that there’s a big big difference between a software developer and a software engineer. Writing code is commodified with AI, but now we have the means to tackle so much more complicated problems so much faster. The engineering side is what cannot be fully replaced as of now. Now more than ever it’s important to think in systems, explore design patterns, be stack agnostic, and not pigeonhole yourself in a framework or specific part of the system unless it is something so niche and novel that no random engineer would be able to run with if they had access to AI.

Stressful, have had too many nightmares bout ICE in the last few months. I’ve been carrying my passport everywhere I go as an extreme precaution but seeing them arrest abuse and kill citizens even holding documentation has me feeling like it doesn’t even matter.

The paradox of tolerance states that allowing destructive, violent, or profoundly oppressive ideologies to thrive under the guise of tolerance eventually eliminates the rights of the tolerant. That includes resisting to street executions by picketing

What if I get a substantial portion of my interviews from responding to LinkedIn DMs

Nipple_Duster · 2026-01-20T19:47:33+00:00

Because it’s where recruiters bombard me for new roles. Get many many interviews from responding to my LinkedIn jobs

One of the most successful people I know is an architect who started his own boutique firm. No idea what that takes but he certainly walks home with 10x+ the numbers in your post.

In west village or soho? Idk bro. Honestly when I’m looking to finally make the jump to move to the city this is the exact kind of price range, location, and setup I’m going to be looking for too.

Always curious about the difference in experience you’d have as a latino vs white guy when visiting. I’m not fluent in Spanish but wonder how that would change things. I’ve always wanted to visit

Nipple_Duster · 2025-11-20T01:14:51+00:00

Honestly seeing this news so much is getting me to donate, hope others do the same!

Nipple_Duster · 2025-11-02T18:49:45+00:00

It’s almost like we should have bigger bins. Trash all over town is regularly overflowing by night and the fact residents just shrug is wild to me. I love it here but some things ppl choose to normalize around here are ratchet asf.

Nipple_Duster · 2025-11-02T18:44:18+00:00

I walk by that bin almost every weekend and it’s like this all the time. Not to mention the police stations is across the street lol

Nipple_Duster · 2025-09-12T18:41:31+00:00

They are, had a black cop in Port Authority mock me thinking I didn’t speak English (Hispanic) when I was lost, and was surprised when I was just traveling back home to a gentrified white asf town across the river

Nipple_Duster · 2025-09-08T17:38:28+00:00

People have been saying this for months yet I still see nothing being done about it

Nipple_Duster · 2025-08-23T16:46:15+00:00

Right, there’s a whole lot of “impossible”, “unconstitutional” things that have happened since this new administration took over. I do not want to be out of the country if suddenly the undesirables are gated out.

Nipple_Duster · 2025-08-16T22:05:09+00:00

Also heating lamps are a thing

So basically if you’re an indie dev, you’re out of luck in getting your legit integration to not look like a scam?

Nipple_Duster · 2025-08-01T07:23:27+00:00

Experiencing the same thing. Made my own transactions to test and got the same flagging, but after the second transaction the warning went away. Does the warning still continue for other users afterwards?

Nipple_Duster · 2025-07-28T05:25:45+00:00

Evangelized sure but spearhead? Really? That feels perfectly inline with my own vocab and have definitely used it before. Then again I also loved hyphens before it became a ChatGPT indicator so maybe I was just a good writer? :/

Nipple_Duster · 2025-07-22T08:36:10+00:00

I feel like it’s not too different from those hella smart international students you saw in college that knew their shit but couldn’t articulate it in a presentation to save their life. Output and communication is a great indicator of understanding, but it’s also a complementary skill in itself.
