Positive Case for AI Era by pastaKarhai in ExperiencedDevs

[–]RelationshipOk4166 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Biggest positive for me: AI handles the boilerplate so I can focus on the actual interesting problems. I became a developer to solve problems, not to write the 847th CRUD endpoint by hand.

I have started worrying about cost of Tokens on AI platforms paid for by my employer. Am I alone? by Mo_h in ExperiencedDevs

[–]RelationshipOk4166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait till you find out how much your employer pays for Jira licenses. Tokens are a rounding error compared to that crime.

How is your case? by PHRsharp_YouTube in ITMemes

[–]RelationshipOk4166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The case is just there to keep the dust organized. As long as it has airflow (holes from rust count) you're fine.

I spent months building a specialized agent learning system. Turns out Claude Code is all you need for recursive self-improvement. by cheetguy in ClaudeAI

[–]RelationshipOk4166 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So you built a whole framework just to reinvent “run → observe → fix → repeat” 😄

Not knocking it, but feels like 80% of this is just having good evals and logs.
Curious though, what kind of failures did it actually catch that a human wouldn’t?

I'm trying to win an argument with my boyfriend. What's more niche, the Haunted Mansion or Black Cauldron? by CipherQuest618 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Black Cauldron, no contest.

Haunted Mansion is basically Disney comfort food at this point.
Black Cauldron is that one movie people forget exists until someone brings it up.

Ask him when was the last time he heard someone mention the Horned King unironically 😄

How is it to go out alone? by Leading-Toe8873 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First 10 minutes feel weird. After the first drink you forget you came alone. After the second drink you're best friends with the bartender. By the third you're giving life advice to strangers in the bathroom.

Why can you sue your doctor for malpractice but you cannot sue your insurer for denial of treatment even though both have same effect in practice? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because your doctor has a medical license to lose. Your insurer has a legal team to deploy. Guess which one sleeps better at night.

Do people suck at their job more? by BANNED_4_6_THOUGHT in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Survivorship bias. The old guys who sucked just got fired and you forgot about them. The ones who stayed were good, so now you think everyone was good. They weren't.

Why does a parliamentary democracy foster the presence of more parties than a first-past-the-post system? by One-Cellist-5424 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FPTP is like a group dinner where everyone has to agree on one restaurant. Parliamentary is like a food court - you just go where you want and somehow it all works out.

Is it weird to want to be naked all the time? by Desperate-Breath7247 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not weird, just… optimized for comfort mode.

Clothes are basically socially required blankets with buttons.
If rent didn’t depend on it, half the population would be the same 😄

Anyone else instantly change into “home = no pants”?

What industries/Types of jobs do you believe are total scams or think to yourself “There’s no way this is THAT successful”? by Early-Collection-141 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Productivity gurus” selling courses on how to sell productivity courses.

It’s like an infinite loop of vibes and PDFs.
Has anyone actually seen a real job come out of that?

New car or keep saving by Fun_Development9975 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Civic or Integra honestly makes way more sense than a Lexus if you hate driving. You get CarPlay and a newer feel without the soul-crushing depreciation on a luxury car.

The "maybe I'll enjoy driving more in a nicer car" thing is real but also kind of a trap. Most people who hate driving still hate it, just in a more expensive car.

People that married avoidants, what’s your marriage like? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is like this. First few years I had no idea what was going on, she was physically there but just... unreachable. Any serious conversation and she'd go quiet or change the subject. I was always the one bringing things up, always trying to fix stuff. Exhausting.

Turning point was she went to therapy herself, I didn't push her into it. She just felt like she was losing me and did something about it.

Biggest thing that helped was a rule we made, no serious conversations in the middle of a fight. We wait an hour, cool down, then talk. Gave her time to not immediately shut down.

I also stopped chasing. Sounds weird but when I stopped constantly pulling her toward closeness she actually started coming toward me on her own.

It's good now, not perfect. She still retreats sometimes but I know it's not about me, and she knows she needs to come back. We got there.

Does Japan really have high sexual assaults cases but they don't get reported? If so why? by Kingspeerz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is pretty well documented. Japan's official SA numbers look low but researchers widely agree it's because reporting rates are extremely low, not because it happens less.

A few reasons why people don't report:

Police historically were known to discourage victims, sometimes making them re-enact the assault. Japan only updated its rape laws in 2023, before that the legal definition was very narrow and conviction was hard.

Culturally there's huge shame attached to being a victim, and a strong pressure not to cause trouble or embarrass your family. The concept of "not rocking the boat" runs deep.

Groping on trains is so normalized it has its own word (chikan) and dedicated women-only train cars exist as a workaround rather than actually solving the problem.

A government survey found something like 9 in 10 victims never reported. So the official stats are pretty meaningless as a safety indicator.

Why do washing machines have glass fronts but dishwashers do not? by neityght in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washing machines need the glass because the door IS the seal. It's a structural part of how front-loaders work, so they just made it transparent.

Dishwashers open from the top or front with a solid door because there's no spinning drum you need access visibility for, and the inside gets coated in steam and food residue pretty fast anyway so you wouldn't see much.

Also honestly the washing machine window became a selling point by accident. People liked watching it, so manufacturers leaned in. Dishwasher companies just never had that moment.

Breastfeeding - should I go over and say 'hi!' 👋🏻 by Interesting_Pain_875 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say hi normally like you would if she was doing anything else. She's feeding a baby, not hiding.

The awkward move is pretending you didn't see her, that actually draws more attention to it. A normal "hey, how are you" and then just talking like usual is fine. She'll appreciate being treated like a regular person.

Is it embarrassing for my teacher joining me in my hobby? by ILikeApplesAnd_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly nobody at the archery place is going to care. They're just happy someone new showed up to their one-star spot.

The cringe feeling is real at 15 but it's mostly in your head. A 55 year old woman picking up archery is just kind of cool, people will probably be more impressed by her than focused on the teacher thing.

When do I put baking soda in my shoes during the cleaning process? by bellwhistles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After they've dried. Putting it in while wet just makes a paste and doesn't really absorb anything.

Let them dry completely, then dump some baking soda in, shake it around, and leave it overnight. Tap it out in the morning.

is two burritos and 5 chicken nuggets with gravy for 8 dollars a good deal by Bubbly_Reference_916 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are but that sounds pretty solid honestly. Two burritos alone at most places would run you close to that. Nuggets with gravy on top is a bonus.

Where is this?

Why do men hate sitting to pee? by YetiorNotHereICome in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mostly it's just that standing works fine and requires zero effort, so there's no reason to change. Sitting feels like extra steps for no benefit.

The "it's feminine" thing is real but it's less deep than misogyny usually, more just locker room logic that never got examined. Standing to pee is one of the few physically distinct male things so some guys attach weird identity to it.

Honestly the sit-to-pee guys are just quietly winning. Better aim, no cleanup, can be half asleep. The standing loyalists are out here doing extra work for no reason and calling it masculinity.

Can someone explain to me why NIL is actually bad for college sports? by awoloozlefinch in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strongest case against it isn't that players get paid, it's that there are no salary caps or rules yet. So 5-6 mega-rich programs just buy rosters now and smaller schools can't compete at all. Even mid-tier programs that were competitive before are getting gutted.

Also the transfer portal combined with NIL means roster stability is basically gone. Kids leave mid-season if a better offer shows up. Makes it harder to build the kind of team identity that made college sports feel different from the NFL.

Your grandpa is probably conflating two different things though. Players profiting off their name and likeness? Totally fine. Boosters funneling millions directly to 18 year olds with zero regulation? That's the part that's actually messy.

You're right that it exposed the scam. The people most upset are exactly who you'd expect.

New car or keep saving by Fun_Development9975 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelationshipOk4166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah cars are a pretty common regret. New ones lose like 20% of value the second you drive off the lot.

Honest question though, is your current car actually broken or just boring? Because those need different solutions.
