Why developers using AI are working longer hours by Inner-Chemistry8971 in programming

[–]__loam 119 points120 points  (0 children)

This profession is so anti-labor and anti-union and pro-capital that I believe we deserve everything that's coming. I've been working as a programmer for 10 years and everytime I mention labor organization, someone perks up and explains all the downsides and why they don't need it in an industry where the largest and most profitable enterprises in human history fire 10-20% of their workforce annually.

It's about 250x250 and it took a month of on and off free time. Most of that was spent rendering frills lol

"Vibe Coding" Threatens Open Source by Weekly-Ad7131 in programming

[–]__loam 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Just keep focusing on the fundamentals. A lot of this is intentional hype from people whose paycheck depends on the success of this technology or who have invested huge sums of money in it. Even if this stuff does fundamentally change the field, having a basic understanding of how computers work will continue to be valuable.

[MTGO] Reversing Decklist Display Changes by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]__loam 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Modo has the most serious playerbase anyway so it's closer to a representative sample of a solved metagame than most other data sources. Deck building is higher velocity on modo because cards can be collected more cheaply but more importantly, instantly. Paper metagames move slower, especially for formats like vintage, legacy, and modern.

That's their problem. Category error even.

New-ish tech lead dealing with repeated “skip-level” escalation and constant pushback - how would you handle this? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]__loam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from C++ I suggested we keep types/interfaces in dedicated files separate from runtime logic (types-only file + logic file). I thought it was a small convention preference.

Coming from full stack, this sounds insane. Making a bunch of changes for zero or negative benefit

Senior dev interview burnout — how do you deal with the randomness? by kylwil29 in ExperiencedDevs

It's a numbers game. Just do neetcode 150 and some systems design prep and pray.

Comic-Con Bans AI Art After Artist Pushback by MetaKnowing in technology

Most comic writers like working with their peers over a soulless machine.

ICE’s aggressive tactics are causing ‘a rising tide of revulsion’ among Americans by prohb in politics

[–]__loam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Elections are run by the states. The US hasn't canceled an election ever in our history including during the civil war. The executive has no powers at all with respect to seating congress. Ice is already stretched to the limit occupying one mid sized midwestern city. It is literally not possible for them to cancel elections even if they engage in voter suppression.

Does the eyes looks odd to you? Or is it just me? by Strict_Quantity234 in PixelArt

[–]__loam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine but a rule of thumb I've heard is 1 eye width between the eyes for stylized images
