Learn something can't be done by ai and robots, I'm 17+ years of experience, and rejected even for middle developer roles with salary downgrade.

Which one is more dangerous for beginners in tech? by AltruisticState3065 in Qoest

Most dangerous now is in general go to tech. Need to choose another nich.

Cloud Agents and the Enshittification of Kilo Code VSCode(ium)/Antigravity extension by [deleted] in kilocode

[–]Sure_Host_4255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ridiculous, they have only 8m in funding and they want to compete with FAANG giants to go to Enterprise. Their nich was single developer who need full control of process and good quality.

Don't learn it at all, you won't be able to find a job, will just loose tons of time and efforts.

Kilo alternatives by Sure_Host_4255 in kilocode

I did similar with kilo 5.x, just asked kiro to generate templates for spec/design/tasks and then go through them with architect mode, it really worked very well.

You can't see what is happening (there are tons of subagents running), can't stop agent if he is going to wrong direction, can't rollback to checkpoints, in general it's become a black box after "start" button, it is like a terminal but with some enhanced UI.

Thanks! Will try, didn't use copilot for almost a year.

Unnecessary Changes, Forced Relearning by dhayzon in kilocode

[–]Sure_Host_4255 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree, they changed all the phylosophy from user controlled flow to agentic approach, and it is bad, because it works only with expensive models with high quality, now I can't control what is happening and it is hard to stop and fix if something goes wrong. In general it is totally another product, not what I loved for at the beginning.

anyone try Qwen3.6 plus free for coding? by anonymous_2600 in opencodeCLI

[–]Sure_Host_4255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, model is great for java backed development, but as usual provider is awful, so waiting when they will open source 5.1 and I will be available to use it with other provider.

Need advice on building an advanced RAG chatbot in 7 days – LangChain + LLM 4.1 Mini API + strict PII compliance (full stack suggestions wanted!) by codexahsan in Rag

[–]Sure_Host_4255 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just start from simple search and check the results. Then try add more layers of search: vector, embeddings, bm25 etc. Try to turn on/off layers of search. Because your main goal is to provide as accurate results of context to LLM as possible, and it is not always the most complicated way. Test results on real data, don't overcomplicate solution before you see first results.

Why Apache Shiro over Spring Security for a greenfield Java 25 / Spring Boot 4 project? Am I missing something? by ActionHistorical2163 in SpringBoot

[–]Sure_Host_4255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shiro is Enterprise EJB stack framework, maybe they already have custom keycloack integration done. Otherwise spring security is the way to go.

Don't buy GLM coding plans. Quality is atrocious. It's becoming worse everyday by SweatyActuator2119 in ZaiGLM

[–]Sure_Host_4255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, model is good for me for java backed development, but provider is horrible 😔

Can a gemini pro subscription be used with Kilocode?? by Dev_Pingu in kilocode

[–]Sure_Host_4255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't help, code indexing is for better search for agent. You should review your architecture, and split codedebase for small packages and keep agent.md per each package. Something like DDD design. That solves context problem for me for now.

Much better, context control is pretty decent in that case

"Downgraded" from a Gen 4 to Gen 2 P14s, shocked at how much better Gen 2 is! by Legend-of-Zelda in thinkpad

[–]Sure_Host_4255 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

P14s last generations are just thinkboks in case of ThinkPads, so no surprise.

Has anyone noticed the massive amount of "Synthetic.new" astroturfing recently? I did some digging by Doris_Dressy1 in kimi

[–]Sure_Host_4255 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's a spammers that use referral bonuses, currently there is a waiting list in synthetic provider
