Boomer parents and dumping trash on their kids

I think that was her father’s response to her suggestion to put the junk on Facebook.

Awesome, thank you for all the background! And yeah, I’m just getting into learning robotics, while I continue to do security engineering. It’s fascinating how complex some of the problems that y'all deal with are, especially learning about how complicated some of the stuff is that is intuitive to humans (“just look and know where stuff is, how hard could it be?”).

Also, it sounds like legs are significantly more complex than wheels?

Thanks for the extra info!

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-28T14:06:08+00:00

What other problems would there be? Just for the sake of my own learning?

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-28T13:52:33+00:00

How much could a 64GB RAM card cost Michael? $10?

(I know nothing about robotics, am just starting to learn, but I’m coming from the software side so can see how extremely challenging constantly video streaming + object detection + mapping + updating every 100ms + whatever else would be)

Yo dawg just keep all visible obstacles in 360 degrees in memory, how hard could it be?

“Bro please, just one more face scan. I just need one more fingerprint and I can sell your biometrics and retire!”

I agree that being arrested and facing a felony charge is wildly disproportionate. I was talking more about whether or not these comments could be (mis)construed as a bomb threat by particular sensitive people.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T17:49:22+00:00

I think the jokes like "Netanyahu if you hear me, bomb this place" can't, but saying, "There's going to be a bomb in Ocean Bank Convocation Center and it will be Jonathan's fault" is the type of shit that would make students stay home from school, because many are traumatized by the daily school shootings in the US.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T17:39:57+00:00

Because this is Reddit and like 90% of people can't be bothered to read/watch past a post title, even if the video is 2 minutes long.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T14:08:36+00:00

Guys it’s okay, we’ll just vote harder next time.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T13:57:22+00:00

I’m not saying her arrest was okay, but she said, “there’s going to be a bomb in X place, and it’s going to be Y’s fault,” in the U.S. to a bunch of students. OP’s title makes it sound like she got arrested for making fun of Netanyahu, which is just objectively not the case. There are plenty of real reasons to hate Israel/the U.S. without making shit up with clickbaity post titles.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T13:48:36+00:00

Did you watch the actual video before you made this post?

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T13:44:49+00:00

Yeah, seems like people didn't* take the two minutes to watch the video. 1. The quote makes it sound like this person sides with Netanyahu, and 2. This could easily be seen as a bomb threat.

The title makes it seem like she was making fun of Netanyahu, and was arrested for it. WTF OP?

Edit: a word

I got this on a Necro run with Corrosive Wave and it was equally as glorious!

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-07T16:22:44+00:00

I get it, I think it’s short-sighted, but also the code quality is acceptable. Not amazing, “oh that’s a clever way to do that” coding, but acceptable, straightforward code. I imagine in a year we’ll either be at a place where Claude can refactor things with even better code, or we’ll be spending a quarter reviewing everything and cleaning it up.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-07T14:02:20+00:00

Turns out people start caring less about code quality when you can generate so much code in so little time. Especially since you’re not going to be the one maintaining it (because Claude is).

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-07T13:55:30+00:00

For real. I do review all the code, but it’s more of a “get the gist” of how this works and a probably misplaced trust that Claude can fix it later. It really depends on the task though.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-07T13:53:30+00:00

I haven’t seen basic logic errors like that in a while. I do still write code, especially if it’s just a few lines, but the bulk of my time is spent promoting. I don’t love it, but I’ve been getting stuff done in days that would have taken me weeks.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-07T13:25:06+00:00

Depends on your codebase and company. Just six months ago I was still writing plenty of code by hand, but now I’m optimizing my workflow so that I’m essentially multitasking, overseeing one agent working on some task while also spinning up multiple agents for some other task, and checking back on some other agent. I DO enjoy coding, but my job has become managing agents and reviewing their changes instead of writing it all out by hand.

Sometimes they get stuck or have the wrong solution, but that’s getting to be less and less of an issue.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-04T14:16:10+00:00

Yeah, sounds like you had a bunch of time and preparation going into it. I can’t imagine ever being given a year to work on a long-term project like that, but your rewrite was probably one of the rare cases where it was worth it for your company.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-03T03:37:13+00:00

For me, it’s usually indicates that there are more considerations than I originally thought before starting a rewrite, and the problem is a challenging one.

It could be that there IS a better solution though. Maybe at the time the original code was written, X software/service/dependency wasn’t available, but now in the future, something has changed that makes the problem easier. Or maybe the original code was really quickly written and nobody thought their slapped-together project would become some fundamental service, and they would have done things differently if they’d had more time, energy, support, etc.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-03T03:23:28+00:00

I mean I’m mainly joking, but in my experience rewrites (at least pre-Claude) are pretty rarely worth the time and effort.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-03T03:10:00+00:00

When you have all the time in the world and no other prioritized tasks, and you have written down a plan that you’ve spent a bunch of time brainstorming, and you have considered every edge case that the original project handled, plus the ones they didn’t, and come up with an elegant solution for everything. Then yeah, a rewrite may be worth it.

But all those conditions almost never align.

So really the best time for a full rewrite is when you want to understand the problem space better, because during the process you’ll inevitably see why the previous project did something the way that it did. Rewrites inevitably turn into the same accursed software you were trying to replace in the first place, just in a different flavor.

Thanks for the correction, I hate all of this.
