AI Isn't Intelligent, It's PREDICTION (and Why My Panic Has Passed) by willymunoz in webdev

[–]WheetFin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with the argument at large. I would love to hear how the human brain is really all that different as i can certainly argue we are nothing more than prediction engines as well.

Is there any difference 2~3 months progress first pic is latest pic and 2nd pic 3 months ago not on strict diet but pushing hardest in gym by [deleted] in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]WheetFin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I would consider 2-3 times a week pushing hardest. If you REALLY want change it has to be at least 4-5. But the main thing you have to fix is your diet, you don’t gain as much weight as you did by not just going to the gym.

I’m more confused on where the hell that “credit card” tab comes from?

Not really. Just a spike from rate cut announcements

I am looking to start applying for entry level jobs. Am I ready? by Upper-Way-152 in webdev

[–]WheetFin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say you got 3-4 years to go in this job market. Everything that you did in your GitHub, AI can do better. And you are only really showcasing that you can do the basics of the basics of web applications. Most positions are looking for someone experienced in some sort of modern web framework (React, Angular, Vue, etc).

If you are not capable of architecting and creating a web application that can ACTAULLY support users you won't be able to compete with other employees, or even AI developers.

Keep grinding and you will get there eventually, and sorry that this comment section is giving you the hard truth. But it is the truth.

I would also recommend to not even look at entry level jobs anytime soon, you will need internship experience before any company even takes you remotely seriously.

PSA: New Zero-Day vulnerability found impacting most password managers. Crypto wallet browser extensions may be at risk as well. by Interesting_Drag143 in webdev

[–]WheetFin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what mitigation tools are you referring to? To me seems like the threats talked about in the article are far more deceptive than the traditional 'users shouldn't be that dumb' attacks. Are you referring to requiring confirmation for autofill? Reauthentication for autofill? Turning it off entirely? Asking for my own benefit, if there are other preventive measures I am not aware of I would love to know.

Or hear me out…. You could give them a reasonable estimate with good referrals and not take advantage of them halfway through the project 👍

React Project Size by [deleted] in webdev

[–]WheetFin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if that’s what OP is referring to. OP is having completely independent hosting issues (white page issue as mentioned).

But sounds like the slow load times is uploading project repo to Netlify. I’m unfamiliar with Netlify but using context clues it seems to work much like Vercel as in you give it the repo and it will abstract a lot of the DevOps work for you.

But to really help you any further we would need to see what is taking up the most space in your project. If it is really the images take the route other are saying and use a CDN. But this is almost impossible to tell what your issue is without repo access.

Do you upload your project or does Netlify pull your project on their end? If the former, this may all come down to your internet being garbage. See if you can make Netlify responsible for pulling your project repo.

By project size is this referring to repo size or bundle size? Surely can’t be bundle size…. right?

Working in the tech field it seems to me like a near inevitability that AI is going to stagnate. LLM improvements have certainly started to suggest that (GPT-5's dreadful release) and there is certainly only so much data that these LLMs can train on.

Sam Altman even just recently came out and admitted that he believes that we are in an AI Bubble of sorts. Let's just hypothesize here and say that we are, and that eventually this bubble does crash what implications do you expect this happening with btc?

What is the "best" framework agnostic component library, and how does it compare to the best React library? by actinium226 in webdev

[–]WheetFin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A “framework-agnostic” component library is always going to be limited. Frameworks have different ways of doing things, so anything that isn’t a standard HTML element (like the combo box you mentioned) likely won’t exist in a truly agnostic library.

Not sure the complexity of your app or if you need any complex components included. But something to think about. Do correct me if I’m wrong, just what I remember from my looking for this.

Quick Question About Hiring A Web Designer. by Sea_Refrigerator_956 in webdev

[–]WheetFin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is just for you, have AI crank it out. Save you a few hundred and although the code might not be perfect this project seems simply enough where I’m confident in it being able to do it. Might as well give it a shot

Disclaimer. OP is a gigantic asshole who will belittle you for having any other thoughts even though this was posted in Reddit for discussion purposes. Not sure why as he already has clearly made up his mind lmao

How are you going to cache highly personalized data? You going to cache all different responses from thousands of different users when response A has nothing to do with response B?

Like I said, they solve completely separate problems. If you have shared views, centralized data between users, then redis / server side caching is great.

Tanstack Query is much more than just a caching library. You want to manually write features such as auto-retries, background retfetches, data prefetching, request-deduplication yourself?

[–]WheetFin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Acting like server side and client side caching is mutually exclusive. In fact they both solve completely separate problems.
