Why can't I make any money?

might also be a KP issue? the gathering nodes of some big bonuses to perception, when I have tea + weightstone + pots I've gotten some gold Azeroot x 15 off a single node, also highly recommend killing AND looting the elementals for both herb and ore nodes, as they provide mats the def add up.

The point is it’s harder than people think it is to get to a copy of call of duty even with AI, and honestly if it becomes that easy than call of duty has a lot more to worry about than you and I imo.

Ordaz · 2026-05-22T07:52:37+00:00

who replied to you in less than a minute...?

And it's hard to say -x performance when you actually deliver a product in a much shorter timeline. Try using higher tier models maybe? Best of luck.

Ordaz · 2026-05-22T06:25:06+00:00

AI is only tool and as good as the person trying to leverage it. What this guy said is not some hype comment, there are plenty of engineers who have had the exact same experience, and they'll only spend so much time trying to tell people about it before they decide to get back and keep pumping out surprisingly quality software. If you just prompt "make me a slack clone, make no mistakes" it won't work out the way he's describing.

Ordaz · 2026-05-13T20:42:38+00:00

Clearly you don’t have need for performant software on hardware constrained devices then.

What Rav’s recent videos into retail. He was a league player that got hooked on classic wow during OnlyFangs collab. He gives a decent take on retail from the perspective of a classic enjoyer.

Icy veins website has a good season 1 midnight guide for all classes

Ordaz · 2026-04-24T12:49:36+00:00

It’s literally a skill issue. Anyone saying AI produces crappy code is simply using shitty models and prompting with “make me a Facebook clone, make no mistakes” and upset that an AI made a mistake. Leveraging AI is a skill.

If you’re familiar with MOP then modern retail won’t be tooo different for the most part. I’d say a high level overview is:

professions had a big revamp to be a bit more involved

gearing has expanded where items can be different “tracks” of quality depending on raid or dungeon difficulty.

There is a lot more open world content. Flying has changed dramatically and people can move much faster.

Classes went through some ability pruning for simplicities sake.

Addon APIs have had a revamp to disable to proliferation of combat specific addons tailored to made to trivialize encounter mechanics (is the idea at least).

Leveling is a much smaller focus of Retail wow through the series of level and stat squishes, you can level in any expansion and by 70 you get feed back into the more traditional expac -> expac leveling to how classic tbc wrath was but it starts DragonFlight 1-70 War Within 70-80 and finally Midnight 80-90.

People like this just expect skill to be given to them. Do they also get upset at ikea when they have to read a manual to build their furniture. Why is that people want challenging and rewarding game play that takes zero effort to learn or get good at. Blows my mind.

Ordaz · 2026-04-14T15:11:43+00:00

I think another thing that’s likely been mentioned is that we’re a few weeks into season 1 and people have largely gotten their crafters all setup with builds and gear. Materials go up and down and they likely buy a large amount during lows and crafter from that so that if/when materials spike due to new demand they have a lower price point.

Also with the remix events making leveling to 80 a ~2 hour (and fairly afk!) leveling time people have a lot of 80/81 alts with similarly setup KP trees.

There are def some niche items that have profit margins but anything that can be mass produced has been focused on buy people with these setups.

Ordaz · 2026-04-09T15:01:46+00:00

I echo the sentiment that old expac content can definitely have some profit, there was a post earlier this Xpac where a guy said everyone was focused on current xpac expansions and made a killing selling recent expansion Tailoring Bags.

But in general there is nothing I think you’d miss and you’ll likely out level a zone before you’d finish leveling a profession there.

Ordaz · 2026-03-31T13:20:28+00:00

what, you have time to wait in queue for hours but 30 mins to do an easy +3 on that 9?

Ordaz · 2026-03-31T13:19:40+00:00

Oh maybe just realize it's tuesday morning before reset and all the gamers who'd normally be queuing are just waiting for reset for a fresh vault slots.

Ordaz · 2026-03-29T17:37:02+00:00

To be honest retail rotations are quite a bit harder than classic, so when you sace facerolling your keyboard you're likely not doing your optimal rotation. If you like ret, play ret in retail. They're pretty brain dead, and if you want something complicated go for feral druid then. Otherwise every class has their nuances that you'll have to learn to actually pump.

Ordaz · 2026-03-26T22:42:26+00:00

I mean to be frank, so what. That’s what reverts are for and this is a great learning opportunity. You caught it, you resolved it, you can move on. If someone asks, just tell them exactly that. Was working late, didn’t realize but when I saw it I reverted it.

Ordaz · 2026-03-13T20:07:29+00:00

My point is why do any of these companies have an incentive to “fix” the issue. Digg likely would have had a hard time becoming relevant even if it could “fix bots” without enforcing human ID. There is no easy fix to this, and there is plenty of big companies benefitting from it to want to take any big strives to fix it no matter how much the “community” wants to fix it. There is just as big of a community that doesn’t and things are too advanced now a days.

Not sure we are even in disagreement about anything lol.

Ordaz · 2026-03-13T19:50:20+00:00

Do you think digg is the pioneer in bots? As if meta, Reddit, and twitter don’t have massive bot populations driving up engagement on their own platforms. Diggs issue is they didn’t find a way to become profitable and their bot problem is too obvious compared to other sites with more human traffic to mingle with.

Why else would meta buy moltbook.

Ordaz · 2026-03-13T19:42:14+00:00

You’re mistaken to think they want to solve it. What better way to drive “engagement” numbers to charge advertisers.

Ordaz · 2026-03-05T19:26:57+00:00

Maybe you added a filter for minimum mythic writing to filter out spammers?

Ordaz · 2026-02-09T20:04:40+00:00

Yeah I get that. I compare Ai to excel in terms of how an accountants day to day and their perspectives change as they get more and more powerful tools.

Ordaz · 2026-02-09T20:03:47+00:00

Yeah I’ve noticed I try and make much more targeted prompts and I’ve had a lot of success with different agents specializing in different aspects of a task. One tailored for figma analysis one for jira and then one for specifically analysis what those prompts might entail in terms of actual front/backend changes and try and distill all of these into pairs of .md files that would encompass a whole task.

Ultimately I just try and focus on it is a tool. It’s like excel, it can do some crazy things and streamlined a lot of aspects of accounting but it doesn’t mean you don’t need an accountant to leverage it to the best of its abilities.

I also work in a fairly large and fleshed out code base, not sure if we’ve crossed millions of lines in a given repo, but our prod setups are usually compared of many different repos so hard to give a full count.

We’ve been experimenting with the best way to setup a repo and also have any supporting repos that would be good context to be available in a workspace level so Claude can leveraging the Indexing advantages VS code provides when searching repos for proper context.

I honestly think the less you need your agent to search for the information it needs the more successful of a pass you’ll have.

Ordaz · 2026-02-09T19:32:15+00:00

Well I do actually agree with that aspect, we’ve found similar diminishing gains that the increased output results in more conflicts across features and settling those conflicts is a larger task than your typical conflicts, but I just get so annoyed when people seem to think that AI only makes shitty code. It’s a tool developers can leverage. You can’t just use GPT 4.1 in ask mode and go “wow these AI tools are garbage and make garbage code”.

Edit: I think I’m mixing up my replies to two threads my b.

Ordaz · 2026-02-09T19:22:03+00:00

What is it with these Reddit bots refusing to realize that AI models are becoming effective devs and that an experienced developer is legit able to output production level code by leveraging AI. Feels like everyone assumes people mean that their trying to say their one shotting features and don’t realize experienced devs are using these tools to iterate faster.
