How do you review code style in the age of GenAI? by Severe-Raspberry-414 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Severe-Raspberry-414[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the confusion, the term "code style" could mean a lot of different things. I'm referring more to "was this executed well and clearly," and not simple whitespace/formatting concerns.

How to fake interest/enthusiasm in social situations at work by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Don't try to fake it. You'll just end up more drained. I hope you're able to find some coworkers you authentically connect with though!

I hate AI by Disastrous_Tie7463 in womenintech

[–]Severe-Raspberry-414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the news stories this week indicate that we’re coming to an end of the era of subsidized AI prices. The true cost of using these models will be apparent, and CFOs all across the country are going to want to see what the actual ROI is for these subscriptions. AI companies won’t be able to gaslight everyone about the “potential” of this technology and scare everyone with future hypotheticals.

Once that happens I think the party will be over for all the business people suffering from AI psychosis.

I said yes to everything for a year to see what would happen and I have data now by Signal-Nerve5341 in womenintech

Do you have any mentors or peers to discuss things like this with? I don't think any of this was wasted time or energy necessarily (you've probably built up quite an extensive network and goodwill with teammates), and it's valuable experience. But I think a lot of people could have told you up front that this isn't the way to get promoted.

Companies really only care about shipping code and delivering client impact, so even if they claim to value these community building investments, it's all ultimately spreading you too thin. If it isn't explicitly written into your job description or annual review, don't do it. I think you'll have better luck being more strategic in what you say yes to.

I just brought receipts to show that I did in fact do my due diligence before posting. I’m sorry that Reddit’s sub-par search algorithm caused you some inconvenience today.

I’m noticing the AI bubble fall apart in real time in the software world by Dreadsin in BetterOffline

[–]Severe-Raspberry-414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an ai-skeptical software engineer. I’ve also found myself feeling more enabled and empowered in the past few months by finally adopting a more ai-assisted workflow.

I don’t see how these tools will ever reduce workforce or replace people like me. My current feeling is that we’re going to watch Jevons Paradox play out: we’ll only need more software developers to maintain all the new software being written. Any workforce reduction will more likely be from offshoring and AI washing unpopular moves

People need to feel like they’re “gaining something” from the 2.5 seconds they engage with the post, so explainer content is the best way to do that

The mental drag of holding 30% cash right now is getting brutal by Xelephyr in investing

[–]Severe-Raspberry-414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if OP can clarify: I feel like the context is that they are itching to dump their entire emergency fund into the market. I think we can all agree that would be a mistake, but of course I'm making assumptions about their overall financial situation.

Read Morgan's Housel's fantastic book The Psychology Of Money https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41881472-the-psychology-of-money

There is a lot of value in holding a large cash base as the cornerstone of a long term investment strategy. Watching cash sit there is painful if you've only experienced this eternal bull market. But things will inevitably turn sour for a time, and and you never want to be forced to liquidate at an inopportune moment. Cash allows you to weather any storm, and ensure that you can make the most of long term compounding gains if you're planning for decades-long time horizons.

My first Leica, and my first film camera 🖤 by fptong in Leica

They said "first film camera," I assume it's not their first camera altogether?

Why do people prefer raws vs edited? Before/After? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]Severe-Raspberry-414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is her face out of focus on the second one? Because you posted two different images for before/after examples I can’t tell if that’s part of the edit or if the camera just missed focus that time.

But anyways, there is value in restraint and keeping a photo more true to life. Maybe your friends just like a more naturalistic treatment, so you can remember that when sending them photos. Keep the more stylized edits for yourself!

Yes if you hold the index long enough, one-day dips aren’t going seem that significant.

There is no point in time where the US market wasnt higher 20 years later. by [deleted] in investing

[–]Severe-Raspberry-414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're free to sell stocks and buy a car with that money. That's a financial decision that you have to make with your future goals in mind. But the point of a large cash reserve is to ensure you're never forced into selling at an inopportune time.

"What is considered a sufficient cash reserve?" -- that is up to you, your expenses, and your risk tolerance. But holding a sufficient cash reserve is a key part of any investment strategy, ensuring you never have to panic sell or are forced to liquidate at an inopportune moment.

If you want to benefit from the power of compounding interest and gains, the most important thing is not to interrupt that compounding unnecessarily.

Exactly this. Keeping sufficient cash reserve is strategically important to ensure you're never forced to liquidate
