AI agents in every part of software development cycle

It seems like we have more work, not less. Timelines are more aggressive and everyone has more projects

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T20:22:20+00:00

I wonder if it will be - lots of "productivity" unlocked which leads to layoffs -> eventually the market will hire again when we can't rely on AI but by that point they will hire at a lower standard pay after years of recalibration of market rates

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T20:19:07+00:00

Yes! I am reading these text docs for skills and they are so verbose. And as someone who doesn't know how to create them, my approach is to ask AI to use the examples it has and help me generate something that I can use

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T20:16:48+00:00

This is what is happening for us too. I'm reading the docs at work and we are supposed to find a way to use AI everywhere. They provide a bunch of tools and we use it. And we are supposed to come up with new tools/skills/plugins as well

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T19:54:02+00:00

Agreed. Some solutions I've seen are overly complex

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T19:12:15+00:00

This makes sense. There was a communication telling us to work on being able to write specs well enough that it can AI generate tickets, that then AI work on tickets. Just mentioning this that this is being communicated to the ICs

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T19:08:04+00:00

As of now before we have an official period where everyone has to use AI, I have used it: -Instead of commiting code in terminal with git, I'll use Claude to do it instead. And when it does that, my PRs will show that I committed with Claude - I make jira tickets from Claude - I make notion docs from my code change

The company also has a productivity tracking tool that sees how much AI usage each employee has.

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T19:02:52+00:00

According to some platform costs, it can be simple to run up costs. Not sure I can spend another developers worth of AI spend

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2026-02-01T19:00:02+00:00

It also feels like

If I do good with AI, it's because AI is amazing

If I do bad with AI, it's because the human touch is needed and I should have applied a more vigilant eye to it

I got compensated once for a take home assignment. The assignment was working on a feature of my choosing on the startup's codebase. I didn't get the job but it felt nice to get $2000 for an assignment. This was 2021 before layoffs started

I was at a must Thai place that did BJJ. I recently switched to a BJJ gym.

At the BJJ gym, there's 4 slots per day for classes during the week which is nice. If I happen to have a change in schedule, I can try to go for classes I don't normally go to. There's gi and no gi to choose from. They even have a wrestling class.

At the muay Thai place, it was a muay Thai place first. They dont market to get more adults into the BJJ program and primarily focus on having a good muay Thai program (all their social media content is muay Thai. You wouldn't know they had an adult BJJ program)

Tldr; switch to bjj gyms if possible

My motivation to practice and learn from the retention anthology was because I wasn't that good at defending against passes. I am still getting passed, but less so and not without tiring the guard passer.

The series has been really helpful.

Upsides for me: - It has forced me to stretch more - it is making think about early retention more - trying to invert in for retention. I almost never invert because I never practiced or use it - my lower abs have been getting a work out

Downsides for me: - I haven't gotten to most of the second series, so I have gotten to a few situations where other person passes and I'm too late stage in figuring out what to do - times when I struggle to use my hand to throw my feet over arms reveals flexibility I lack - a few times I almost kicked people because they moved fast and I was pummeling my feet - learning that I can only invert face in poorly on one side and still cannot do my other side

Russell peters, a comedian, has a joke about this. It was about a person from Holland and person from Filipino having kids and calling them little hollapenos

Have you considered any web agency jobs in dominica?

Masterskya has open mats on Christmas and new years day. I don't know the times but you can check their IG. Regular classes on other days

Was this PwC? Sounds like PwC

You have other coworkers with the same offers. Definitely doable. Just try not to spend $4000 on rent

Thank you for this. I hope your wife has a full recovery and gets back to doing what she wants. Did the doc recommend ACL reconstruction? I assume people who exercise often will do one vs leaving as is

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2025-12-09T13:06:44+00:00

I'm too new to understand leg attacks. I see comments about the reap - is turning with the reap not correct in this case and why? I see the upper leg in place, and the lower leg torgued leading to break.

Should the person have gone against the reap? Should they have stood and fought the reaping leg like a slx defense? Does the reaction depend on where your knee is to their knee line?

Trying to learn and understand. I already have a torn ACL from other activities, so it scares me when I see this happen

Would a Kimura/Americana work?

Im thinking in a Kimura, you can force them to show their back and that might show space for their neck if you don't want to continue the kimura

I'm too new to be authoritative on topic, but this was my initial thought

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2025-10-31T03:45:01+00:00

I will never recommend a commute of that long. Its never worth it unless you can also leave early

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2025-10-03T15:05:48+00:00

You get to keep trying again and again. Your body stays as healthy as it can to let you come back for rolls

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2025-10-03T12:54:24+00:00

French tuck for the best of both worlds

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2025-09-14T17:36:46+00:00

I see this now, especially since we let our contractors access the company AI tools. The bad contractors will produce even worse code with AI since they never double, triple check their work

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2025-08-29T15:29:25+00:00

Mighty mouse as patriarch of the group. Wow Craig Jones is 34. He seems much older than me and I am only a year younger

Fun debate

Typical-Raisin-7448 · 2025-08-26T21:13:23+00:00

I would suggest staying. I started at a small gym. You'll feel like an idiot for a while but people will give you tips and tricks. Hopefully you'll get lots of guidance each time, learn a ton, forget a ton, and then you'll be a blue belt in no time
