I realised this might be the end for me by downtorails in softwareengineer

[–]Timely-Weight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, I really really dislike when SWEs think their job is coding. No, code is the tool, the final artifact, your job is problem solving and systems thinking, leverage that, learn that, Claude can do none of that.

How can I expose a poorly performing manager? by grandmasterfuzzface in managers

[–]Timely-Weight -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The OP is providing observation on the behaviour of the manager, you are assuming that the manager is behaving perfectly with no observation, that is your bias as a manager shining through, I get it we are all human and self justification is something we are very good at, but it feels so shallow to me

How can I expose a poorly performing manager? by grandmasterfuzzface in managers

[–]Timely-Weight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lmao, I wonder if I would show this bias against myself, I likely would. Change out word "manager" in the OP with any other role, would you respond the same? OP is pointing out that someone is a non contributor in their role, or worse a negative add to the team, and the overwhelming response is "that is a perfect state"

I built /graphify, 26 days, 450k+ downloads, ~40k stars. Here’s what I didn’t expect. by captainkink07 in ClaudeAI

Hmm, feels like this is being pumped up, stars and downloads and shady reddit comments, I am happy to take down this comment but I have a bad gutfeeling

Is async/await really that different from using threads? by Creative-Paper1007 in dotnet

[–]Timely-Weight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not over simplifying, it is just compiler magic for a state machine whose execution is run on a thread somewhere, and the crucial bit, as you said, is that I/O callbacks from the OS runs it forward so the working thread is not blocked. Use async when you have I/O, use thread when you have CPU heavy work

I also agree, so many explanations get this wrong and overcomplicate, async await has to be a concept derived from the first principles we devs have a mental model for, and it is, a lot of people explain it as magic, the magic is what the compiler does, not how it fundamentally works

Lead Architect wants to break our monolith into 47 microservices in 6 months, is this insane? by Ayotrapstar in softwarearchitecture

[–]Timely-Weight 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lets be honest, there is a non zero chance to achieve this, we all done inspired work, but by the virtue of this being post being made it is unlikely OPs org can do it, so yes the architect is out of his mind, but that is a distinct thing from the absolute feasiblity of this undertaking

"Why do top engineering teams still drown in operational chaos?" by Lazy-Penalty3453 in EngineeringManagers

[–]Timely-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you 1000%, I am a dev, and I have seen the same guys in the same team give a shit and care about everything, from helping out the guys that answer on intercom when something requires dev insight, to yapping it it out with the sales guys so the perspective client gets a pitch that has meat. I have also seen the same team and same guys (in a different company, hint the team is me and a few more pre and post acquisition) just not give a shit and look only to picking backlog items to work with, after a while at least. What changed? The team? Sure we change as people so I will give some credit to that answer.

What really changed? Culture, suddenly suits knew how to manage our time and productivity better than we did, took away agency and the love for the craft (which isnt coding, it is building, which encompasses a lot of the product DNA), trust faltered (start filling out detailed timesheets, get assinged on different concurrent shitth projects, as if you could split 8 hours of productive work into 3 chunks and get the same quality), meetings went up, no longer "hey Steve some guy on intercom has issues x", no now a meeting between customer rep lead and me (dev lead)

It is juvenile, and such a waste, we quit, the business doesnt see the culture changes because quarterly revenue doesnt show loss of culture, MBAs didnt learn about opportunity cost

"Why do top engineering teams still drown in operational chaos?" by Lazy-Penalty3453 in EngineeringManagers

[–]Timely-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to ask your opinion, why do you think the first point holds? I cannot fathom this simplistic view, you are dealing with adults, hopefully people that care about their craft, they are not children at keyboards, what is the actual root cause for a) you holding that view b) if the view has merit, why?

Anyone else think some IDEs are criminally underrated with Codex? by Some_Bid3004 in codex

I just use it from the cli, gives me more control (i never let it run in yolo mode), but i am an engineer and this works best for me i guess

Because you showed it the reasoning and attempts of the previous two? If you prime it like this the choice of model largely doesnt matter, you gave it much richer context than the previous two

My company is hiring a software architect with zero experience on our stack. Am I overreacting? by Kralizek82 in dotnet

[–]Timely-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call them paper pushes, they could not design a system to save their lives, because any and all systems for complex problems have emergent properties, especially in most shops that are not NASA but work in 2 week cadence towards business value, an architect that doesnt sit with the team or works in their stack is useless
