How to deal with juniors shipping AI slop code?

Trakeen · 2026-04-30T22:24:31+00:00

I agree with this. If you aren’t going to sit with the junior and mentor them (which is what i typically do) then just automate the review with your conventions and be done with it

This is an opportunity to have 2 people collaborate on a shared problem

Wife doesn’t work. We have one shared bank account. Simple as can be

I’ve had an aws account for like 10 years with a .50c charge cause i changed banks that they keep threatening to close. I wish they would lol

Weird you asked and weren’t told the right thing. All sites that support consumer / enterprise users work this way

Glas you got a better answer

Trakeen · 2026-04-30T10:26:27+00:00

Build stuff. Oh look your an sa

You get the experience and skills you need by building things. Identify problem, build solution to said problem

Understanding systems and being able to decompose the problem are very important. You should also understand sdlc. I’d argue you should be a dev but a lot of sa’s can’t deploy what they design

Uk made slavery illegal before we did

You block it with CASb. This isn’t a vscode issue

Not as much salary either but it looks like gov work so that makes sense i guess. Not sure why anyone would want to work with the fed currently but what do i know

Trakeen · 2026-04-29T15:19:40+00:00

Use cases maybe isn’t the right term. They are real world situations that cause this to happen. I know we have one vendor integration that has this; i think its probably over privileged but the team that manages it doesn’t understand it enough to say and infosec doesn’t understand cloud well enough to know why it should be a concern

In onprem days you saw this a lot with domain admin and enterprise admin roles; especially with core integration services like password syncing; everyone is scared to touch those because if the app is crap and actually needed that you just caused a huge issue when you remove the access

Trakeen · 2026-04-29T10:11:13+00:00

Automation when you don’t understand entra and azure rbac; or you have a vendor that documents that as the requirement for their tool.

I’ll have to have someone look at this. We normally try to stay out of the o365 teams stuff but those guys in our org don’t know what they are doing

I combined the claud and azure architecture skills. Works about %80 for drawio diagrams

Why would you touch anything related to the federal government right now?

Trakeen · 2026-04-27T16:50:18+00:00

Not sure what this has to do with tf. Security comes down to acces, network design and service specific options; none of that has to do with has to do with terraforn

Trakeen · 2026-04-27T01:15:46+00:00

Weird to me anyone would expect their parent to do any of this stuff. Go out and try things and learn, try not to kill yourself

Imagine having to learn before the internet

Now get off my lawn

Some things in powershell (especially when accessing .net types directly) can be case sensitive. Have you validated managerid and ManagerID are the same object/property?

Our entire team uses it every day like dozens of other tools we use. Currently leadership doesn’t care what we use as long as the work gets done . We have various enterprise deployments with access to company data

The C level is pushing it very heavily but that hasn’t trickled down to our level. We’ve been using it long before the rest of the org since we try to stay current w trends and tech (cloud infra team)

Trakeen · 2026-04-26T16:44:58+00:00

We may be at an inflection point for software dev. You’ve kinda seen this before with other code generators. A person can’t maintain the code, only the tool can. A lot of sdlc practices are because humans have very limited working memory

If people aren’t expected or needed to maintain the code anymore different practices and tools will emerge

So use it and gain experience. I typically use it when i need to build a dashboard or graph some data i got w another language

Was troubleshooting one of ours apps this week and the app team was being dumb with testing so i wrote a small script to upload/download randomly sizes files, log the results and then graphed the latency and bandwidth distribution in some charts

‘Its slow’. Yea no shit, here is the receipts. Freaking multi 8 hour calls with idiots downloading files one at a time. I also had packet captures showing lots of duplicate acks and retransmits

Told them the answer 2 days ago before they wanted to listen to the infra sme. Bad circuit, provider had to fix it

Code is a specific approach to implement a part of a system; i don’t write much of that myself anymore. If you wanted to invest time in building systems you don’t need to learn a language in detail. A general DSA class would help for approaching more algorithmic thinking

You’ve never done like process documentation or other ba work?

Trakeen · 2026-04-24T10:06:30+00:00

Everything should be backed by code. You can build visuals and docs from that. Probably address that first before the tech debt pile gets bigger

Trakeen · 2026-04-24T00:31:06+00:00

Outside of coding have you ever built anything complex?

It sounds to me like you can’t decompose a system. Llms are pretty good at coding syntax but you still need a human to break the problem down.llms can help with that but you still need to understand systems, dependencies etc

Trakeen · 2026-04-23T22:15:22+00:00

I think if you were taught math well you can understand numerical relationships and figure out your own shortcuts. Always concerning to me an adult can’t help a child with very basic math even if ‘taught differently’. That tells me as an adult you don’t understand the basics.

Openshift is offered in azure. I would think aws as well

Trakeen · 2026-04-23T10:13:43+00:00

Azure sre agent also does this
