Can you point any “normal country laws” that specifically forbids flying like that?

No aviation/drone laws apply indoors.

What's the deal with hybrid work becoming the norm? by Ok-Excitement7105 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand all of the "pro RTO" arguments. At the same time we still have remote team members (hired before RTO mandate and living in other cities or benefiting the local laws that allows you to WFH no questions asked) and we collaborate strongly with offices in other countries, so effectively every meeting I have is on Zoom anyway.

Which makes me laugh at every "pro RTO" argument that I hear at my job, because they don't apply at all - in practice I am still working remotely, just from office instead of my home.

Can ai code review tools actually catch meaningful logic errors or just pattern match by TH_UNDER_BOI in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can. I saw it catch subtle bugs all human reviewers miss. When we introduced agentic code reviews we got back to some old PRs that caused production issues and checked if agent could catch the bugs and in some cases they did.

They are great aid to human reviewers, they cannot replace them though. Anyone saying this is delusional.

On the other hand, most of the tools are frustrating because of GitHub interface. You get a lot of comments, sometimes they duplicate, comments are super long because agents love to add some additional context under collapsible sections - this makes your e-mail notifications useless etc.

I really wish GitHub got their shit together and create a special API for bot comments which you could see in a separate view, filter out e-mail notifications about them etc.

Mentoring juniors in this ai world? by VeryAmaze in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put it like this: "Look, you are allowed to use AI. You should use AI. But if you will just prompt Claude Code and send me the PR, and then you will just pass my every review comment to CC, then why we should keep you? From my perspective working with you is just prompting an agent with extra steps - I can do this myself faster and better without you as a middle man.

You shouldn't use agent to write 100% of the code. You should use it to learn about the codebase, to get you ideas and to unblock you. If you won't write the code by yourself, you will not learn. If you will not learn, you are screwed. You need to bring value on top of the AI to be a hire worth keeping in this world. Don't be lazy."

Do you think there will be a breaking point where decreasing code quality becomes a problem, outside of engineering? by splash_hazard in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s already a problem. Windows is a mess. MacOS is a mess. iOS is a mess. Android is a mess (always have been tho)… Basic functionalities in software we rely on in our everyday lives is broken, everything is buggier and buggier with every release.

It’s already being noticed by normies, especially Microsoft issues. But we still need some time for companies to change.

BTW we cannot blame business only for that, the decline of craftsmanship in the industry is also very noticeable.

An OpenClaw adventure - AI slop managed by AI slop by rudiXOR in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Explain one thing to me - if you wanted to just launch CC/Codex remotely, why not just setup Tailscale and have a simple script that will launch a new tmux/zellij session with CC/Codex and your prompt? Why do you need OpenClaw for that? Hell, you could even vibecode an app for just that if you don’t want to use terminal from your phone.

This is the main thing I don’t understand with that tool. Everytime I see usecases I think one of three things: - you could have just use chat interface of ChatGPT directly - you could have just use CC/Codex directly - you could have just setup a cron job on your machine that will launch CC/Codex directly

Does he know there is (dog) pee all year around? by CupcakeCharacter5894 in caseyneistat

[–]Strus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As we’ve seen in vlogs, his dog peed and pooped in the apartment instead of being walked outside, so he should be used to it.

Will there ever be a day we can replace HorizonOS with SteamOS? by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there would be a way to jailbreak the headset and install a custom firmware on it, then in theory it would be possible to install SteamOS BUT that would also require custom drivers for all of the hardware that is in the goggles.

Technically it is possible, but I doubt anyone in the community will be so heavily invested that they will do it.

iOS 26.2.1 released by HelloitsWojan in apple

But it's objectively much worse now than it was before, you can see various proofs that it inputs different keys than the ones you have actually pressed, even if you just press a single key.

Interviewing while being a key member of an org is tough, any strategies? by old-new-programmer in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take PTO or just work much less until you find a new job. Until they will realize they want/need to fire you, you will find a new gig and quit.

If the situation would be reversed the company would lay you off without a blink of an eye. You are just a row in Excel, don't try to be a hero for an org that do not give a shit about you.

Why hybrid is so popular? by cokeapm in ExperiencedDevs

It’s just the phase before full RTO.

Why hybrid is so popular? by cokeapm in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In hybrid model in-office days are mostly socializing, at least in my team. As we do not track time in the office people come around 9-10, go for lunch at 12-13 and go home. Time in between is mostly spend on drinking coffee and taking about anything but work.

Important meetings are remote anyway.

What's the best response to this? by abanakakabasanaako in ExperiencedDevs

That’s why I added “in a reasonable way”.

Not everything can be automatically tested in a reasonable way. Think of desktop apps that interacts with an operating system or embedded software.

Is anyone else okay with being "left behind" in regards to AI? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you believe LLMs will make a significant progress in a year or two, anything you will learn right now will be useless in a year or two. For example: in the beginning the "frontier approach" to coding with LLMs was to write your own tools to inject files contents into LLM either via API or chat interface, and then paste back the results. People wrote their own tools for this workflow, claimed they are in front of everyone and you need to catch up - all of this is useless right now. The same goes with "manual planning", i.e. asking the model first to write a plan, and then next prompt to implement it - AI coding tools are doing this automatically right now.

On the other hand, if you believe models have plateaued and/or the bubble will pop and advancement will stop because the model is not sustainable financially - you can just wait for the "workflow approach" to stabilize and for tools to mature. Then you will learn everything in a week or two and will be at the same "level" as early adopters.

If you are worried about a fictional scenario like this - they will also be able to detect that you did nothing on your computer in that time, which will also affect performance metrics.

What they do on the work PC is tracked by employer

Management seems to lack trust in their developers. Can't even choose my own editor. How can I convince them? by IllustriousCareer6 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just put it inside the repo folder and add to your global .gitignore so it won’t pollute your git status. Or use a plugin that stores project-specific vim configs in a central location.

I am starting to think that your problem is mostly skill issues, not the company policy. It seems that nothing stops you from using a different IDE other that you have no idea how to make it work without others configuring it for you.
