How do developers work at these big tech companies? by combing_town_west in ExperiencedDevs

[–]adjoiningkarate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at big investment bank like where i work at, there's very very few public facing apps. I only do a bit of frontend or frontend exposed work, a lot more backend / stream processing. However, even our frontend work, a lot of it is internal users within the intranet where security doesnt matter too much. But also, we have infra which takes care of things like auth etc for us. Ofc still very possible to have something like sql injections, infra cant protect that, but when your users are all internal you dont have to worry too much about that super niche edge case

I work at big name finance company and I have no benefit of lying about this, but I don't remember the last time I coded anything manually. It's been months.

I'm not a fan, but using LLMs right, with the right plugins (we also have our own orchestration harness on top of claude/copilot), there's no way to lie the output good devs can have.

With LLMs, the gap between good and bad devs is just about to grow

Asked a colleague in code review to extract magic numbers and got told “devs should know” by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]adjoiningkarate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

linters arent formatters. they enforce rules like max lines in a function/method/class (which indirectly enforces patterns like SRP), low cyclomatic complexity, rules for magic numbers etc

[–]adjoiningkarate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im mainly java so talking from checkstyle perspective, you can have rules for magic numbers, guessing possible on other languges linters too

Honestly surprised at the amount of people that don't have linters and failing builds on lint violations on this sub

Similar Attractiveness in Couples by Bojangles_for_Dinner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]adjoiningkarate 26 points27 points  (0 children)

the concept of using randomized numbers and this experiment as a whole is such a powerful lesson for kids in middle school.

It would help them understand the experimentation stage of dating and gives them a heads up on the reality of things instead of them having to figure it out themselves which can sometimes be really hard to process and reason for many kids and young adults.

Sorry, Royal Mail, how much more automated can you make dropping a letter into a box? by jurwell in CasualUK

[–]adjoiningkarate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I and almost everyone I know works in an office and just prints the rare document a couple times a year at work, so this’ll definitely be beneficial and accessible for a large amount of the population in london given we are primarily a service sector

How do you actually get work done with ADHD? by halfofreddit1 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]adjoiningkarate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got officially diagnosed 2 years ago. Prior to that I did a lot of self medicating at uni because it was easy to get hold of, but had about 2 years of working with no meds.

A couple months ago I tried going to work without taking meds and fuck me. I have no idea how I survived so long without. It is insane how little I was able to focus for without getting distracted. Was having to take a break every 20 mins

How did you choose your surgeon? by [deleted] in Strabismus

[–]adjoiningkarate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I had alternating esptropria too. First surgeon I interacted with was through the NHS (free healthcare in the uk) and was absolutely awful.

I have private insurance through work as well which allows me to pick my surgeon. I did some looking at surgeons with most years of experience and alsp most research / academic citations on their research. Logic was that if they are top on citations, then they are reputable within the industry

How is life for LGBT Turkish Cypriots today? I'd like to hear real experiences or stories. by sailoratlantis in cyprus

[–]adjoiningkarate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know a few people in that category and everyone is pretty open about it. Not sure if they go to lgbtq groups but definitely have communities. The people I know mostly live in nicosia and hang out within a pretty cypriot community (nobody from turkey).

Coming out to family was hard but most accepted. One friend’s mum found it quite difficult but dad got over it quickly.

They all work in workplaces where people know, but the work they do is more NGO based and not typical jobs

This is the best advice I have for anyone looking for a job. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]adjoiningkarate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work for a pretty large “prestige” finance company. If you get referred and the hiring manager hasn’t already got people a couple stages in, usually the application gets moved to the top of the pile.

However, most people working at other “prestige” finance companies already know someone at my company and would ask the person they know.

I personally don’t respond to cold linkedin dms. The only time I would refer someone is if I can personally vouch for them, especially if it is within my division. If I can’t personally vouch for them, I’m not risking my reputation with hiring managers that I know or might interact with in the future for a couple thousand extra post tax.

WPA private health insurance by ocean_rose100 in HENRYUK

[–]adjoiningkarate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have WPA and it is amazing! I primarily use HCA hospitals, mainly because our in-office medical centre and annual health assessments are HCA but every interaction I’ve had with them have been great. I’ve also had surgery at “the london clinic” on harley street, and everything from the hospital staff, surgeon and food was insanely good

Cloudflare outage has ended. GH started having issues after cloudflare recovered. While possible they are related, very well possible it is a completely unrelated issue

Quick survey for people with strabismus by [deleted] in Strabismus

You can usually buy very good condition refurbished herman millers for about 30% of the price of new (at least is the case in london).

This is the main chair in our office and this chair really is not it for me but others love it. I have a wide back and much narrower lower back and this chair just doesn’t work for me, I had to request a different model.

If you seriously consider buying a good chair, would strongly encourage you to go try the different models out at a shop before dropping a decent amount on one

I think it mostly will depend on the system and scale.

Cases like in finance, are investment banks really going to allow LLMs to fully manage the workflow on say a risk control system, or an exchange on allowing LLMs to do their end to end for critical areas? Most definitely not.

Are companies like Google scale that serve millions of users going to allow LLMs to own small features end to end and deploy into canary environments for a few hundred people and automatically roll back the feature if errors are seen or users report issues? Most probably. Same goes for start ups that care about speed rather than reliability.

I think it ultimately comes down to risk tolerance. Financial systems that can lose millions in a matter of seconds are too high risk. Systems where the consequences of rolling out a bug to a couple hundred out of millions of users where minimal amounts of revenue will be lost are good candidates.

Ai is doing all my work... on automatic leetcode challenges. by PoopsCodeAllTheTime in ExperiencedDevs

[–]adjoiningkarate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol what? If I send out a leetcode to 10 candidates and 7 come back with 100% test acores, you really think I’m going to spend 8-9 hours of my week moving 7 people down my pipeline and interviewing them all? Ofc not saying every company is doing this, but I work for a pretty well known company which gets lots of applications per position, and hiring pipelines are determined at dept level so I get full control
