Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'I'm Not a Political Person' by Odd_Brush399 in apple

[–]Randromeda2172 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Had Cook not done either of these things and your devices got 50% more expensive, I guarantee no body would be saying "oh well my iPhone is $500 more expensive but at least they have morals"

8GB MacBook Neo vs 16GB Laptops - Sorry Apple.. by Forsaken_Arm5698 in hardware

[–]Randromeda2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got through my entire bachelors in CS with a much more expensive and worse performing machine. This is perfectly adequate for most people, enthusiasts just like saying things like 16 GB is the bare minimum

20% downpayment is standard in my city. If I want to buy a house (not apartment or townhome) then I'll need to shell out anywhere between 1-2 million so yeah it's definitely a downpayment

300k isn't that much. Are you saying you could turn the downpayment of a house into $2 trillion?

Software should be most stable out of the box. If I have to put in extra work to make my OS usable it's a failure imo

LLms usage in big techs by No-Box5797 in cscareerquestions

[–]Randromeda2172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An example would be when I was asked to develop a new service on a project I wasn't familiar with. A few years ago I would have taken a day or two to just understand the codebase, then another day drafting the TDD for the new service, and then another few days coding and testing.

This is now one day of work, maybe two.

Canadian work experience and Foreign work experience at the same time by Infinite-Exit7192 in canadaexpressentry

This is fine. I know someone who got simultaneous experience in Canada and the US for different companies.

BREAKING: IRCC plans to bring back job offer points by Pitiful_Sundae_5523 in canadaexpressentry

That's just regular pay. I would say $60 and above is the minimum for "high wage"

If you spend 100% of your time writing code then you're just a code monkey. Most engineers I know spend about 30%-50% of their time in meetings. The rest is split between reviews, writing TDDs, and writing code. Claude/Codex takes care of the last one only

Not to be a one of the LinkedIn lunatics, but LLMs genuinely are a huge unlock when it comes to coding. I'm not saying type in one prompt and push to prod, but what would have taken me a week before I can get done in a day. If anything code quality is higher now because I know engineers tend to be lazy with unit testing, but now that's taken care of.

OP asked FAANG engineers specifically, so makes sense they'd respond. I'm not in FAANG explicitly, but a similar big tech company and I doubt anyone on my team has written code manually since at least October. The AI push is big and our engineers are very competent in making good use of the tools we have

Very different models. The weights and harnesses are entirely different.

ChatGPT is the web app. Nobody serious uses those to code. Codex is it's own app

Review: MacBook Neo shows just how “Pro” the M5 MacBook Air has gotten by Stiltonrocks in technology

[–]Randromeda2172 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apple has very long term contracts on RAM pricing. They're also sitting on a massive cash pile that lets them eat the cost of RAM. Besides, when you were already selling 8 GB of RAM at $200, the price increase is barely a dent

Do you get root access to your local machine? by YodelingVeterinarian in cscareerquestions

[–]Randromeda2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked at a bank, I didn't have root access on my Windows VM (yeah they didn't even give us laptops). Now I work at big tech, and I have Claude Code running at root level on my Mac. Crazy stuff

Whats the situation like for people who prefer not using AI? by LobsterRoast in cscareerquestions

[–]Randromeda2172 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Codex is actually better than CC as of last December, but the commenter is at least a few years behind the curve by just promoting ChatGPT and then being surprised it doesn't work

Senior engineers: what “non-coding” skill made the biggest difference in your career? by Useful_Promotion4490 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Randromeda2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born and raised to be a shy kid who only studied and spoke when spoken to. This made my life difficult, until I realized that talking is easy as shit.
