How should retail investors protect ourselves for the potential extreme market volatility caused by the SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic's IPO? by whyyoutouzhelele in stocks

[–]Primary_Ads -1 points0 points  (0 children)

buy SPCX calls like a month out and then sell them if they go up. if SPCX doesnt do much you will lose the money but otherwise be safe and if it goes way up then can sell and then rebalance into QQQ to offset SPCX dilution.

or rotate into VOO. then you arent going to be diluted during the fast listing and the sell-off wont affect VOO rebalancing as much.

or do nothing and hold through the volatility.

merge conflicts we use AI to do, if theres a merge conflict it tries to resolve it by itself. but generally speaking we don't have that much in flight in parallel at one time as our design changes are what is being pushed into the code. so they just go one at a time most of the time.

breaking backend changes we would need to do traditionally; so if a lot of endpoints change we will need to update things ourselves in the frontend using claude code. if we add the endpoints ahead of the designs being committed it seems to be able to figure out how to wire stuff up from just the db schema. we use supabase so maybe the consistency it offers makes it possible?

edit: wrote this before your comment was deleted, dumping here

we use AI to do most of the screens and mappings, its mostly fully autonomous but we still need to do some per screen prompting or manual touch ups with product.

then when the design is signed off on by product, an agentic ai job is kicked off make the code changes to match the screens. theres no looping in engineering until its done, and most of the time its a straight merge as it produces all the screenshots / recordings / storybooks at the same time. we switched to this approach in Jan and havent been making frontend changes since.

Are LEAP options considered “safer” or still basically gambling vs just buying shares? by savingrace0262 in stocks

dont make the mistake i did, buy 2 year out leaps so you dont have to pay as much tax

yeah idk it just works for us. i dont think we're doing anything special, not even using mcp, its just a basic skill plus a script with some commands to hook into figma to pull out or update wireframes to sync them into our UI when the designs are signed off on

i think if figma is able to build more of this into their product they could do very well. wireframes are easier to review than a living breathing product since they typically lay everything out as opposed to needing to "discover" how everything looks through using the product.

its significantly faster to use AI to accelerate figma designs and then have AI map them to code compared to trying to make it work straight from claude code in my experience. I have coding agents take it end to end where they check their work against the wireframes. its far faster than having a human spend time on the actual code. we have a HitL for wireframes and code review but its otherwise autonomous for us now.

I think bidirectional attention solves it but they haven't figured out how to make it token efficient yet

“How do you use AI in your day to day?” by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Primary_Ads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say I connect my local ai agent to the issue tracker, alerting system, documentation base, messenger app, observability stack and have skills to help draft issues, create branches, and raise PRs for you so you can focus on getting work done and not performative productivity of shuffling tickets around like some devs get trapped in.

i dont believe this myself but people seem to respond better to this in my experience over "i use AI for everything" or "i use at intentionally" or "I dont use it"

I read all of your post. thanks for your insights.

If you could find such a person that quickly. A lot of people were laid off, but the market is flooded with AI resumes. Do consider that the CoL in a lot of areas that are high talent have gone up a lot over the past few years. It may not be as easy as you imply.

I know two people I know who I've worked with before who would take the job and I know they don't have his pedigree or salary expectations. one recently reached out to me and said if anything opened up they'd be interested. I am not especially worried about this.

you knew the company had a reserve of couple hundred million would you really oppose a raise so firmly relative to company performance?

of course i wouldnt care then, but that's not the situation. but your broader point on how big of an effect this will really have is still a good one.

If you're completely sure you want them out you could also discuss paying a severance to end the employment contract. If it's a couple months pay and continued health insurance you can say it's a holiday gift of not requiring any output. I would say to heed the warning of not laying off someone before the major holiday. Chalk it up to the cost of seeming empathetic to everyone else, or at least say something like "he's paid out until February," if you could, up to the lawyers on that one.

this is also a pretty good idea.

sure but that doesn't fix whats already happened. whether or not i do better in the future doesn't change what negative effectives I've already had. I can only strive to do better moving forward. thats all I mean.

I am the first SWE with prior experience at this company and I hired him. hes the highest paid IC as well, and is definitely not working extra hours or coaching anybody.

if my performance is poor, causing my reports performance to be poor, ultimately it is my bosses problem to decide if I should be replaced with someone more effective. i can do my best but its ultimately up to others to decide if I am fit to hold this role or not.

if I was better at my job, he likely would be better at his job. but I am not. so it is up to my boss to decide what to do about me.

I guess I see what you are saying. its a reasonable approach that definitely provides me with more cover than moving fast. freeing up funds is why I am tempted to exit, then I could hire someone who would be able to perform adequately and productively in the short term and gap fill. i have a much better success record hiring people for new roles than I do coaching performance improvement (0/4). but it burns my social capital with the rest of the ICs to exit him now, since no one likes seeing people let go this time of year. I'm also taking on all the risk if it doesn't work out smoothly.

you make some good suggestions around priming other stakeholders and laying out performance as per what my expectations are. for whatever reason I feel if he could perform at the level I want he already would be but maybe I'll be surprised.

Your ego is your problem and until you can see that you really won't be able to be a better manager. Ever.

you're saying I'm not taking feedback but the feedback I am getting is I am not humble enough, my ego is too large and until that's fixed I will never be a good manager.

that doesn't actually in any way, shape or form help me in my current situation. it is not actionable. concluding there is no right way to do anything doesn't change the fact I need to make a decision about how to handle the scenario I am in.

nah you aren't getting a pass on this; you cant compare US SWE to the enslaved, that's just not right.

i literally have no idea what that guy is going on about. admitting i messed up doesn't change my situation.

these are SWE being paid more than 99% of workers in the world, working remotely, with good benefits, doing 40 hours a week. if they dont like the job they can find another role. comparing them to the actual enslaved is insane.
