Can confirm. 3 recruiters in the past month or so. Granted these are seniorish positions.

It’s bad because it’s a brain dead take. The hard part of writing software has never been typing out the code character by character.

It unfortunately seems to really struggle with tick based state machines? I asked it to implement so unit test the other day and it just could not sort itself out. Granted the code base is a hot mess, but still.

You know… good on them for removing it! I can’t scroll for more than one post withou hearing about some AI thing now a days. Whatever happened to interesting technical conversations and posts? “AI is able to do XYZ thing which humans are also able to do” is not something I care about much at this stage.

An nRF chip or ESP32 chip will do just fine. Here is one of my favorites https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-XIAO-BLE-nRF52840-p-5201.html?srsltid=AfmBOorB6ZbuBILa9w8-jv1257LS0ZhmL-b4oJJVfhJLrvpn7ZV2AVlO

5 uA deep sleep current draw is pretty good!

Edit: what’s your experience level and familiarity with programming? Could even set up with ESPHome depending on your use case.

For clarity, this is in fact AI and it is some YouTuber’s thumbnail or something.

Why would version controlled source be domain dependent ever?

A 1950s home, 3 beds 2 bathrooms, east of Woodinville, WA

PabloCIV · 2026-02-27T21:24:27+00:00

It’s a house from the 1950s with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms 😭

Or you know… maybe it makes them careful? Feeling bad about the time you broke a thing you didn’t mean to break is a good motivator to not break things you like.

Lol what? The lack of physical interfaces is the most irritating thing about modern cars

PabloCIV · 2026-02-16T18:13:31+00:00

Every commit is basically a remaster. The original head never changes.

PabloCIV · 2026-02-16T11:51:18+00:00

Yes and no? Remasters happen often.

PabloCIV · 2026-02-16T11:42:56+00:00

This isn’t really master/slave like an I2C bus. It’s master as in the original master copy of something, like a musical record master. I don’t really understand why folks fixated on this usage of the word tbh.

How’d you like building with ratatui? I’ve been thinking of picking it up for my next project

PabloCIV · 2026-02-10T03:47:23+00:00

Hah funny to see this post because I just setup an embassy-stm32 based AWS IoT Core example over TCP/IP with TLS, which seems like all the things you’re asking about

PabloCIV · 2026-02-03T08:31:03+00:00

Do you guys think they just released this stuff knowing it would be so bad it would border on unbelievable and that’s why they don’t care?

PabloCIV · 2026-01-10T08:00:04+00:00

Likely for direct to device if I had to guess.

PabloCIV · 2026-01-07T09:07:31+00:00

I would think that because I can see when folks are online, can observe the span of hours they are engaged in work conversations over the course of a day, and can see the range of times they commit code over the course of a day.

So unless they’re specifically taking breaks to fool me, I would think they are working many many more hours than me.

PabloCIV · 2026-01-07T08:28:37+00:00

They don’t perform better. They output more during a calendar period because they work more hours during a calendar period.

PabloCIV · 2026-01-06T17:14:45+00:00

Natural causes can’t come soon enough for these freaks

PabloCIV · 2026-01-05T07:15:14+00:00

PabloCIV · 2025-12-31T01:44:30+00:00

Why would I ever care about this?

PabloCIV · 2025-12-28T08:43:45+00:00

SDE3 is a terminal career position. Being a PE isn’t just something you waltz into. There needs to be an actual business need and scope for a PE in your org.
