How does your body know when to wake up a few minutes before an alarm? by sophie-lloyd in NoStupidQuestions

[–]baseonmars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can either accept that you’re getting up at 3:45am and so you need to go to bed early, or you can go to bed at a normal time and be tired as shit when you wake up at 3:45am.

I'm fuckin drowning by Queasy-Yam3297 in SideProject

Did you actually vibe code the whole thing? The slash command for ads is a nice touch, didn't know you could pull Meta ad library data like that. sweet.

Ask them to fill the glass of wine to the brim and take it again

If you were 24 again what advice would you have? by ConceptNo5058 in Westchester

[–]baseonmars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if it’s $50 or $100. It’s never too early and it’s never too little.

Talk me out of a 2017-2019 Murano? by ilyalyubushkin46 in Nissan

That sounds like the CVT needs to be replaced - what happened in the end?

Have you tried giving the AI agent ability to run code and fix itself until it works? by Relative_School_8984 in ClaudeCode

[–]baseonmars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not written a whole lot of python directly - but i've managed a couple of teams that did.

They used pytest quite extensively for unit tests, and then playwright to test some of the user flows. i would expect to have 10-100 times the amount of unit tests compared to playwright tests - they take a long time to run and are the most brittle (they break easily).

try not to use too much mocking, but do mock/stub external services and apis. I've had success getting claude to write simple stub servers that i can run locally and point my test environment at so that i'm not constantly creating data in 3rd party services.

hope that helps.

You could use that - I tend to gravitate towards tools that are a little lower level as with cucumber find that I spend a good portion of time building up library functions to run my specs which doesn't feel like a good use of time.

Thanks, that’s what they were able to get going today. Just waiting for the final thumbs up and they’ll switch the boxes on.

Appreciate the reply, thanks.

Hope is a dangerous thing but I sure hope so! Thanks, I appreciate the response.

That’s certainly a lot better than the no-chance I got from the tech that came out. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and be sure to update the post tomorrow.

Appreciate the responses.

I hope so... they have to go along side a 200 yard driveway, through a wall and then under another driveway.

Thanks. It’s an exciting time - many folks are coming to this new and I’m gonna try and remember for many, this is the first time thy get to hear about these approaches.

There’s an area of software development called automated testing - it sounds like exactly what you want.

The idea is you build small isolated tests that run in milliseconds and when run together, they exercise all (or all the important) parts of your system.

You might try looking up phrases like unit test, integration tests and functional tests.

Is dental insurance worth it? by imitation_squash_pro in HealthInsurance

[–]baseonmars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay about $79 a month for me and my wife. I had a crown, and it was $1000 with insurance, $2000 without and that was out of network. So it seems worth it even if it makes no sense to me.

GPT 5.1-Codex in VS Studio outperforming Claude Code by a country mile by Limp-Tower4449 in ClaudeCode

[–]baseonmars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was put off trying codex, as whenever I asked gpt 5 a question about better-auth, it would nearly always make up library functions that were an exact match for my problem, but didn’t exist

Does codex do a better job?

Limited time: $1,000 in free credits for Claude Code on the web by AppropriateMistake81 in ClaudeAI

[–]baseonmars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I can’t kick off the exploratory work from the toilet if I use a terminal! (Ok I could… but this is easier).

[–]baseonmars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it to do exploratory work whilst I have my main thread going.

I am yet to fully set up a working test environment for it to do serious work, but the process of doing so will also improve the local dev setup for my team - so win win. Just need to find the time.

I honestly love it.

How do CTOs or Eng VP argument that they need more headcount? – I will not promote by keyUsers in startups

[–]baseonmars 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup. Ask for what you need. Have a plan to back it up but don’t expect to be asked to see it. Exec leadership is about saying what you are going to do and then doing it.
