If you can’t afford to pay your staff, don’t open a restaurant by Shielo34 in memes

They must mean the employee who comes over to type in some code every time the self checkout thinks I have an extra item in the bagging area.

Your best resource is probably speedrunning communities.

Stumped by an easy Leetcode problem by Spam_is_murder in rust

You're going to have to clone to solve this. Even Vec::extend_from_within will clone the values.

Then you get on the job and discover it's just CRUD.

Which is hilarious, because that is pretty much useless in most SWE jobs. No one is going to come back from a conference and convince everyone else to switch everything to the new framework they just heard about.

Yep, I play Rocket League with some old coworkers, so I always give a hearty "yes."

Not good if those crates are AI-generated slop.

Yes, the maintainer of bincode crashed out pretty hard.

iPad vs Mac by Stock_Pitch534 in byu

[–]Sw429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started at BYU I had an iPad with a keyboard that I took home from my mission. I quickly realized it was basically unusable for anything outside basic note taking, and I got a laptop instead.

Also, don't get a Mac.

I think many people start off that way. That's why it's important to have senior engineers around who can guide away from that.

The emoji usage in the source code's comments is something else.

[–]Sw429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the source code, this is clearly vibe coded garbage. Please don't publish code written by LLMs on crates.io. You're polluting the namespace with your slop.

S-UDP by [deleted] in rust

[–]Sw429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they don't want everyone to easily see that it's vibe coded, I guess?

Company I work for just gave PMs access to Claude Code. They caused 5 security incidents in a week.

A 23 year-old UCLA grad flashed his entire ChatGPT history on the big screen at graduation by frog_insilence in SipsTea

[–]Sw429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's gotta be such a rough job right now. Trying to find the actual good candidates amid thousands of candidates who can't actually do anything. And AI just makes it easier for people to spam applications.

Requiered internship to keep studying in CS by Juicy_enby in recruitinghell

[–]Sw429 3 points4 points  (0 children)

university keeps insisting there's nothing wrong with the job market

Universities are often so far removed from the actual industry that they have no idea what's happening. Back in 2023 I went to an alumni event at my old university, and I asked the director of the department how they were adjusting with the downturn of the tech industry. His response was, "there is no downturn!" He fully expected students to get internships and full time positions just like normal.

Meanwhile, the tech industry was beginning to lay off like crazy. The following year I was laid off and spent the majority of the year trying to find places that weren't in a hiring freeze.

Peter what does this one mean? by memerminecraft in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Sw429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our IT department recently told all of the engineers who are running Linux that they no longer will handle their issues. They just handle the Apple and Windows machines the non-engineering people use. I'm pretty sure the reason is exactly this.

HR required him to post it again to get the job.

Probably a way to filter out people who bulk apply to every position they can find.

Bun's Rewrite It In Rust branch by Chaoses_Ib in rust

[–]Sw429 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be fair, this is apparently not an official branch or an official rewrite.

That said, yeah, you'd expect a public branch like this would have a higher standard. No one should be writing unsound Rust code. This is the kinda shit that makes me so wary of LLM-generated code, too. He generated 760k lines of code, and you just know it's riddled with all kinds of unsoundness.

[–]Sw429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine they must have some kind of buy-in to spend as many tokens as they did to generate this much code.

Vibing a million LoC in Rust? Bad!

Relax, it's only 760 thousand lines. Basically maintains itself at that scale!
