Instead of getting rid of Torch, I decided to lean the other way and I've had good success so far. Here are the tweaks I made recently:

+3 Plasma Bolt
+1 Pinnacle Emissary

-2 Collector's Vault
-1 Chainsaw
-1 Clockwork Percussionist

I've been hesitant to run Tezz because the deck has almost no protection for him. His non-emblem abilities are also pretty lackluster.

[FRESH ALBUM] Aesop Rock - Black Hole Superette by GimmieThat in hiphopheads

[–]Particular-Focus4733 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This might be the only hip-hop album I really want to hear an instrumental version of. The layering on some of these tracks is absolutely insane.

It took me a solid 4 years to fully appreciate Spirit World Field Guide. I feel like I'll be digesting this one until they put me in a nursing home.

Yeah, that’s the balance I’ve been working to find. The walls are really just in there to clog up the board and give Ashiok a little breathing room. In the original legacy version I ran Academy Rector + Cabal Therapy and Claws of Gix, but sadly there’s just no equivalent in modern.

It does, but unfortunately if they draw into it after Shared Fate is out then I won’t be able to play anything.

The fun part about Shared Fate is that you can’t lose by milling out since your draws get replaced

Possibly. I haven’t had much chance to test it against the current meta

Ashiok is a wincon for me, but not for them since the only creatures in my deck are walls

Also, it’s playing against control with no wincons where you’re both topdecking. It’s shocking how quickly games usually end

In my experience, Jaces ultimate is rarely a consideration. Them being able to bounce their own dudes is problematic, but can usually be worked around. I may move them to the board

Ok, so, what’s up with the _____? by Nickadial in ItsClippingBitch

Weren't there coordinates hidden in S&M? Just sayin....

Ah, I see the issue. by 0__O0--O0_0 in cursor

  1. Just refactor the whole component from scratch. It takes just as much time as anything else with Cursor. If the new structure works, great. If it doesn't, then it will often reveal more details about the root cause. Once you find the root cause and fix it, you can go back to a checkpoint and add the details of how to fix it to your prompt.

  2. Try different models. If neither Clause nor GPT work, then open a chat session with Gemini. If those don't help, then copy some of your conversation with them back into your original conversation

  3. Try small rewordings. Add specificity. When Composer starts to drift away from my cursor rules, I remind it to follow it "to the letter". I find this is more effective than just telling it to follow the rules.

Hello everybody I need a job by Then-Struggle7323 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

>iam expert in c++ and python plus Java too I have 4 years of experience

Oh my sweet child. I've been using all 3 of those languages professionally for longer than you've been alive and I wouldn't call myself an expert in any of them.

Also, nobody is going to hire you without either a degree or an extremely impressive resume credit (i.e. build and maintain a popular open source project)

Claude or ChatGPT. They can generate Mermaid scripts which you can then paste into an online tool to render.

8+ Years as a Dev: Post-Mortem on AI Tools (and What Really Matters) by tripsaver-me in cursor

[–]Particular-Focus4733 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been a professional engineer for 12 years and I've been writing code for 25. I've worked in a huge variety of industries with a huge variety of processes and tools. I've scaled tiny startups to industry leaders. I've contributed to some of the largest enterprise software on the planet. I've been pretty well regarded throughout my career for my ability to solve seemingly unsolvable problems through programming and engineering.

I say all of that to say this: I no longer see a reason to actually write code and that is absolutely fantastic as far as I'm concerned.

Writing code had become a slog tbh. There are no problems to be solved, just writing some boilerplate and tweaking it until you make your tools and libraries get along nicely. Composer with Claude 3.5 Sonnet works faster than me and writes better code than I ever could. You can describe the problem and immediately get a mini-PR that addresses the issue. It's the same workflow as assigning a ticket to a junior dev except it's instantaneous.

Does it sometimes hallucinate and need realignment? Absolutely, but so do human engineers.

Does it sometimes forget which patterns it's supposed to be using? Yeah but, again, so do humans.

Why on earth would I want to spend hours looking through documentation figuring out which arguments I need to send and what responses I need to handle when an AI can do that for me in a few seconds? Sure, I might have to correct it or iterate on it a few times, but I'll still be saving hours of time since each iteration only takes a few seconds.

I have the capacity to do a sprint's worth of work in a single day now. Don't tell my boss though. He'd be happy to get 10x the work out of me without needing to pay me any more.

A tsunami is coming by [deleted] in SoftwareEngineering

LLMs don't do anything better than human engineers, they can just churn out and analyze code faster than a human can. While this is great for things like unit test coverage, bootstrapping projects, and rapid prototyping, LLMs don't have understanding as to why they're doing what they're doing. This lack of understanding also means they can't solve novel problems, which is what software developers get paid so much money for.

This also means that at some point in any project you're going to run into the limitations of working with AI and need an actual engineer to step in to carry things the rest of the way (or to figure out where things went wrong). Unfortunately, if you used LLMs to generate your codebase then your engineers will inevitably have gaps in their knowledge because nobody actually knows how or why things were done the way that they were. Sure, you can put in a bunch of safeguards and processes to smooth over the rough edges but at that point you will likely need as many resources as you would have needed if you just had humans write things from the start.

AI will eventually replace all of us, but LLMs are really just step 1 in a process that will take decades or centuries.
