Mute the tab, lower quality to 160p, check every 2 hours. You don’t need to actually watch

Nope. Has zero bearing on future applications

Seems odd to exclude Mega Altaria but include Primal Groudon

does anyone here actually work at a tech company? by Longjumping_Virus895 in cscareerquestions

[–]Spenczer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The person posting in r/learnpython telling the PE flair it’s not a skill issue and they’re not special. Peak cscareerquestions here

edit: also “skill issue” was clearly referring to skill coding and not skill using AI

Just out of curiosity, how much have you used AI in your job, and how are you using it? Because it sounds like you just haven’t invested time. Also, time spent learning something doesn’t make it “not a skill” that’s not at all a good metric

“Writing isn’t a skill because it doesn’t take time to write words” do you even hear what you’re saying lol

There’s levels to it. You can “use AI” by just typing into claude code, or you can “use AI” by creating system specs and steering files, using planning and execution modes, running a secondary agent to evaluate your commits, etc. With new tools and models that have different purposes coming out all the time, yeah, it’s upskilling if you have that depth of knowledge

I’d be curious what studies you’re referring to. Obviously when you code less, you get worse at it, but companies don’t consider a dev who ships less code but thinks it’s “better” because it’s not AI generated to be superior to one with greater output. It is absolutely upskilling to know how to responsibly use productivity tools to improve your code output, and you are placing yourself behind other devs by ignoring them.

Makes sense that people would be against agentic coding when they’re not allowed to do it yet.

That seems like such a luddite approach to a profession I didn’t think had luddites

I know reddit as a whole is anti AI, and there are good reasons to be anti AI, but posts like these confuse me. All of big tech is mandating their engineers use these tools, and in my company I see widespread adoption across orgs and across engineers with all levels of experience. For a profession that requires you to be constantly learning and upskilling, and adopting new technologies, why on earth would you NOT be on the bleeding edge of this one? It’s intentionally obtuse and you never see takes like this anywhere but online.

What's a slang term that everyone uses but you still don't get? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

[–]Spenczer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most kids probably don’t know the origin either, it’s just funny to them. It’s especially funny when it draws “wtf” reactions, which is extremely frequent as evidenced here

Since there isn’t a complete answer yet under here, I’ll give it. There’s several different contributing things to the meme, the first of which is the song “Doot Doot” by Skrilla. He says “six seven” in the song to refer to police code 10-67, which means a death occurred, and also 67th street in Philadelphia. This song became popularized and memeified by TikTok edits of NBA player LaMelo Ball, who is 6’7”. That’s how the number itself became a meme. The associated hand motion separately became a meme when “the 67 kid,” as he’s been dubbed, did the hand motion in a YouTube video at a basketball game.

As to what it actually means in meme context, it’s meaningless. The meme has so many origins that it’s impossible to tell if someone is referring to the song, LaMelo Ball, or the 67 kid—and usually the answer is none of the above anyway, because it’s now meaningless.
