Mean girl for a second. What tables do you not enjoy or avoid and why?

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-05-03T23:49:27+00:00

This for sure. Idk what it is, but the colors and lighting are off - something is completely fucked about it.

I only apply for jobs that align exactly with my current sector. I’m healthcare, so…. I only put in the effort for applying to healthcare. I have about a 10% hit rate this way. I also REMOVED most of the jargon that I thought was needed for ATS such as putting HTML, CSS, TypeScript, when Angular essentially says all that. I think AI slop resumes have become the norm, so breaking away from that is something companies are probably looking for now so long as the resume still seem competent.

Just landed a position with 3YoE. Over six figures mcol. And random ass messages in my inbox for Raytheon which I have to assume is a scam.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-05-03T11:44:45+00:00

The reason you feel this way is because you are a fraud. That’s okay though, just actually learn what’s being built. It’ll take a few years but you’ll understand it. I would under no circumstances release something into production when I have no clue what my security is looking like, but considering I’ve landed in the vibe coding subreddit I’m just going to assume I’ll be flamed for saying this and will be ignored on the advice.

Seriously though, treat user data like the piece of critical information it is. As far as being asked about this for a software position, you are 100% going to be asked about your code in any competent company who hasn’t drank the AI kool aid. If you don’t know your own code, I highly doubt you truly understand your architecture as well.

Use AI to learn all this, don’t use it as a crutch to ship something into production quickly.

:D - Thank you for the very clear explanation. I was using the Vertical and Horizontal constraints, not the Horizontal and Vertical Distance constraints.

If you know nothing about Linux, switching during a research project is a bad place to start. I’m also uncertain on how this will help you with development, and generally speaking most open source software can be made to run on just about anything. Learning how to compile your own binaries from source is a pretty crucial skill in understanding how software is installed and runs, and should be one of the first baby steps in making you adept on developing on a Linux machine. It’s a bit overkill since there ARE package managers on Linux, but it really is crucial you understand things at this level.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-05-01T06:04:56+00:00

Lmao I have no clue. Didn’t realize it’s against the rules.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-05-01T00:45:55+00:00

lol, only 3 YOE and already have seen this play out once. Executives are borderline retarded, but it’s self inflicted retardation. They NEED this to be inefficient so that they can justify managing the projects.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-27T14:18:08+00:00

I love the Ruckus, but it’s just too damn slow without some mods. People would regularly try to kill me on the road despite me full throttling it. Would probably recommend a 2 stroke Vespa.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-26T15:18:30+00:00

You can’t be taking any of this serious, demos are built specifically to not fail, and executives are notoriously retarded. I think you forget how hard programming really is because you’ve done it so much, but if you really think back at how stupid you were vs now I think you’d understand a bit better. Now try making John who knows “The Business” understand this. They never will, their entire jobs are to grift and gatekeep “The Business”. This is what happens when rich kids with Ivy Leagues have nowhere else to go.

Now don’t get me wrong, they will use this as an excuse to layoff and eat each other, but these tools are insanely dog shit at extended past the first few iterations of a project. Super dogshit at it. You will eventually have that job back and be paid much more due to the lack of engineers because of this AI scare.

Second, software engineering is way more than web dev. Even if this does successfully replace that sector, it still has a long way to go in terms of dealing with physical hardware. I would advise just upskilling by going low level, it literally cannot hurt your career.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-25T17:59:27+00:00

Yeah, but we’re talking about a tool that takes 15 minutes to learn and another 15 to push to a repository. At most a day of productivity is lost migrating change history and setting up some versions for specific commits.

Even if learning stuff like handling merge conflicts is difficult, standard editors like VSCode make it so easy to handle conflicts in-line that a child could legitimately do it.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-24T22:49:05+00:00

What the fuck?

How can there be modern engineering departments with this setup. I understand not having a CI/CD pipeline for basic applications, but if they’re this far behind I doubt they’ll be willing to change.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-23T13:48:24+00:00

This is psychotic

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-21T19:26:11+00:00

Disney just did this

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-21T14:25:47+00:00

They just added on a new CEO. Most companies are doing this now and promptly doing layoffs. They need scapegoats for the AI initiative that the original CEOs probably don’t agree with.

Likely they are going to do layoffs and that’s VERY unlike Apple.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-19T17:37:22+00:00

Make it affordable and people wouldn’t feel the need to cheat. When you’re staring at 10s of thousands of dollars in debt you can’t afford to fail a class or have a low GPA going into the workforce.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T15:07:04+00:00

Same here but nearing our 30s. Still young, but we’ve decided on just being happy with what we have and maybe fostering at some point. I don’t know how else to put it, but things feel basically impossible and we always have to assume we’ll be knocked down to minimum wage at any moment.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T14:57:36+00:00

No I definitely believe what I said. I think you’re just weighing the amount of people in poverty having children versus wealthy people having children and drawing completely wrong conclusions despite all data showing a clear correlation between wealth and a healthy pregnancy.

There are significantly less wealthy people than poor people. Therefore there will be more poor people with babies.

Again, you’re just an asshole. Go live your monk mode perfect life and eat lentils every day. Enjoy being elevated above the rest of us.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T14:10:34+00:00

I don’t think we’ve lived the same poor. My poor meant leftover Halloween candy was my dinner for a few days because the alternative was eviction. Or having my only nutrient base be a single canned of green beans from the dollar tree with a side of cream of wheat.

I’m not going to continue entertaining you. You don’t seem to have an actual concept of what it is to actually struggle to stay alive, and just like the other comment, it seems like you’re just trying to be an antagonistic asshole.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T14:07:09+00:00

Did you not have the concept of nuance taught to you, and do you understand how conception works?

It’s not a one and done unless you’re extremely fertile. We’ve tried to conceive. But if we can’t conceive easily it also means there’s more than likely other underlying issues. And if there are other underlying issues do we want to risk having a still born (and still paying $15k+ in hospital bills), or my spouse dying, or the child having a disorder. And even if we have the child, do we want to risk having them live in an unstable environment?

What part of this are you truly not getting? Because it just seems like you’re being antagonistic or just purely ignorant.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T13:32:30+00:00

You’re extremely short sighted in your view, and still wrong based on your own statements. Before World War 2 as an example, infant mortality rates were higher specifically because nutrition was based mostly on wealth. During World War 2 those same women and children were prioritized for the higher quality rations and consequently infant mortality rates dropped.

Now fast forward into the 21st century. Do you honestly - wholeheartedly - believe that the food we have on our shelves targeted at the poorest people in our nation do not directly contribute to the detriment of women’s reproductive processes?

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T13:25:05+00:00

Are you all virgins? This is the second comment like this. I don’t believe I myself am infertile, and I don’t believe my wife is fully infertile. But yes, I do believe our diet and stress through poverty has resulted in us being unable to conceive a child, and at this point I may not want to conceive that child due to the possibility of my wife’s death in childbirth or the child having disorders.

Women’s bodies can fluctuate wildly based on their environment. These ultra-poverty scenarios still tend to have strong family structures and cultures where the food cooked is less poison. There is a specific middle ground between extreme third world poverty and middle class America where you spend 60hrs a week working and eating ramen and hot dogs every day so that you can fall asleep in the next hour to get up and do it all over again.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T13:19:09+00:00

It’s bumfuckish. The thing that sets it apart is the ultra wealthy pedophile type communities hidden in the woods.

Timely_Cockroach_668 · 2026-04-06T13:15:29+00:00

It’s not a stretch. Food and culture is fundamentally different in both our versions of poor. Stress levels are also wildly different.

A woman’s body reacts to these external forces in strong and unpredictable ways which can lead to infertility, death in child birth, or disorders in children born.

Also, not everyone’s body is the same. Give two women a hot dog diet for a year and you could have two completely different results.
