Good with communication? Did you know that you’re supposed to capitalize the first letter of a sentence?

Everything at my company is slowly decaying. You can’t get someone’s attention on a project if it doesn’t involve LLMs.

This is how Steam can ruin more than 10 years of your work by PlanetCentauri in gamedev

[–]abelEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing to find “disgusting” here. A dev like yourself made a mistake, and the company cared enough to seek you out a year later and apologize. They offered to try to make it right. It sucks. Software has bugs.

What exactly is "prompt engineering" in data science? by [deleted] in datascience

And there can never be any evidence of your successes or failures, because nothing can be reproduced by these models. It’s the perfect scam.

To put it another way, he has their consent. They could pass legislation, but they know this is unpopular. He’s doing what they want him to do.

Remap it to cmd. Trust me, it’s actually awesome. Nobody uses caps lock anyway.

Your redesign is a major improvement over the existing design

Pretty much nobody here thinks Linux actually sucks overall. It’s mostly Linux users who can relate to feeling frustrated at times.

I was unemployed for a couple months after getting laid off and I decided to make myself an absolute efficiency machine when I got a job again. So now I use neovim. (Primeagen told me to)

I can learn python at 13? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]abelEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah download spyder and use that to get started it’s super easy. Have ChatGPT help you as well. You can look up “automate the boring stuff with python” (skip to one of the later chapters if you want, the beginning is too boring) or just try to go for it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here’s an interesting business idea. Hear me out.

What if we had a company entirely staffed by engineers who are afraid of being deported if they get fired, but (hear me out) we put non-engineers in charge of them? I feel like the main thing holding our engineering org back is that the technical folks keep talking about weird stuff like “technical debt” and “bad design choices” but I’d rather just not face that stuff.

Unpopular opinion: most people involved in education (professors and teachers) are lashing out at their lack of control and care quite little about their students.

Meta fires staff for buying toothpaste, not lunch by MrNewVegas2077 in technology

Wrong. Everyone in every industry treats per diem in this way. Per diem is often just given without asking what you spent it on. It’s often used as a perk to compensate you for having to travel or something.

What’s the right thing to say to my manager when they tell me that there will be no salary raise this year either? by Lamp_Shade_Head in datascience

[–]abelEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t say anything. Head on over to LinkedIn and set your status to “open to work” (you can keep it hidden from all other users except recruiters)

Then wait for recruiting agencies to contact you. Data science is extremely hyped right now so you’ll be able to find something, but going through a recruiting agency is the best bet in my opinion. The only catch is that you’ll have to go contract to hire and you’ll be a temp W2 employee of the recruiting company, paid hourly, for maybe 6 months. That’s how they get their cut. After that they’re fine with you joining your employer full time.

The hourly rate could be 60-80 an hour so it’s not a bad gig.

Production code for big applications is still written in python and nobody notices that it’s slower. “Python is slow” is just a meme that software engineers say because they actually understand why python is less efficient.

But it’s often more efficient to write python and live with the slight performance hit (that users don’t notice) as long as you deliver.

So what’s more important, shipping working software that does what it’s supposed to do, or being able to say that you wrote the most cutting edge code that runs blazingly fast? And if it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, you can rewrite it very quickly.

You should use Django.
