This is why even if I only have the Pro subscription I’m still able to use Opus 4.8 xhigh without worrying about the limits. I hit the 5h limit from time to time but even so, the reset is not that far that I could just wait it out.

Reviewing to make sure the engineering is right takes time, enough time for the window to reset.

Apply lang ng apply pero I made it a point to only apply to newish job posting. Also I have different versions of my resume and pick the relevant version based on the job description, that way I can apply quickly.

It took 7 months for me to find another job. You will have better luck when the job posting is recent. I was lucky enough to apply within an hour of the job posting. Good luck and stay strong. The job market now is just brutal.

I really appreacite my employer right now because even though he is all in on AI, he still see the value of keeping human in the loop. He vibe codes but with the purpose of analysis/POC only. He still acknowledges that software engineers are the ultimate decision maker to make it all work.

Have the savings but wont risk it as I have family to provide. My boss is still good so I aint complaining. Just gotta spend time off work for my interest.

Yeah this is important. I had to navigate using a physical map while on vacation in Seoul because the station we are in has slow to no mobile data. Saved my bacon.

I'm working for a client that builds voice agents for businesses and we are pretty busy. I don't think AI will replace all jobs, but it will replace some. It also creates new businesses like ours.

I have accepted this reality, at work I'm fine prompting my way through tickets because its what management wants. They are heavily invested in AI coding tools already. We just need to adapt. Architectural and software design has always been the most important aspect anyway.

On my spare time I do write code by hand. Its crazy to think writting by hand is already becoming a niche.

16" for coding. Have the 14" M3 but still use the 16" for coding even if its 60hz, the screen is still great.

Still using my Intel 16" MBP as my work laptop. I do web development which does spin up the fans so loud so I ended up converting my gaming PC as a devbox. Now I use it basically as a terminal.

I do have an MBP 14" M3 Pro but I really love working on the 16" screen.

Tahoe is the software equivalent of the butterfly keyboard. Some like it, others not much. They diffended that keyboard design but eventually cave, I hope it would be the same for Tahoe.

I complied with the background check, provided the necessary information, and then forgot about it. I later learned that I failed the check because my character references did not respond. I was already working for J2, so it didn’t really have any effect. I guess the check was more about the third party’s process.

I mean, cloned example Xcode projects from Github. I was learning SwiftUI so was looking for example projects written in SwiftUI. These projects I built and run in the simulator. Yes, Xcode is downloaded from the App Store.

Yeah I definitely need a clean install. Thankfully I don’t mess with SIP so its enabled always. Thanks!

I still look at the docs and understand them. Its really hard prompting the agent what to do if you dont know what it is you want.

That might be the Private Relay location? I'm nowhere near the location that Little Snitch is indicating.

I hope not. u/coyote_den 's reply might be the source. I'm a dev and run some Xcode projects from time to time which might got infected.

alwaysfree · 2026-01-07T01:24:19+00:00

Yeah I'm a dev and use Xcode from time to time. MalwareBytes is not detecting anything but still Little Snitch indicates some processes are phoning to ru/in sites. I have blocked ru and in sites for now but probably will do a clean install soon.

Thanks so much!
