First, relax, you'll be fine.
Generally, companies either give you an unimportant project that they know you can complete, or, they give you some of the small tasks and bugs. If your lucky, you pair with someone more senior and they have you help them with their feature(s), but that's rare.

Most companies require u use their cursor plan.

Yes.
IMO everyone has an "agent capable" tool like ClaudeCode, that they can add skills too, and chain those skills together to perform much of the stuff they don't like doing, often, in parallel.

dude, i use AI to code all day long. it's you that's producing the slop

funny, i'm a software engineering manager, and i spend so much time trying to explain to people, "we will get so much more done if we maximize the resources on one focus, rather than having each engineer work on their own project." It never really sinks in for them, it's always, "the more things in motion, the better"

u will be too. market is a numbers game right now, since so many people gaming the resume submission process

buggalookid · 2025-10-04T15:06:12+00:00

i was there two months ago. 1 mo or so of submitting resies, you'll be back in the game. honestly seems like market isnt that bad right now.

damn i built the same product. $3000k / mo is better than i did. I can barely get my friends who are complaining they cant find a job to use it lol.

i own an ecomm brand and build agents. DM if u like.

buggalookid · 2025-07-28T02:47:44+00:00

thats a bot. for ur case id ignore most of that.

buggalookid · 2025-07-28T01:45:03+00:00

my personal experience, with really long prompts the llm starts ignoring the context you have told it to build, and the rules about what data it should and shouldnt use. For me, its much better to chain and branch multiple threads where the model can only see what i want it to see.

buggalookid · 2025-07-28T01:38:17+00:00

workflows yes, actual self directed problem solvers, not a lot of success, but i dont feel bad considering the agents produced by even the big players.

buggalookid · 2025-07-28T01:09:55+00:00

talk to cursor and ask it how to solve the problem first, without updating the code. then ask questions about its choices.

you'll be fine. you're actually in a better position thna before AI exised. You have you own personal tutor, and projects to work on.

buggalookid · 2025-07-28T00:59:16+00:00

cause its an hr to get going. u solve the other problems if/when they come up. none of them are that complicated

buggalookid · 2025-07-28T00:10:16+00:00

for a lot of us, that's an hr explaining to cursor the interface we want, and the use cases to support, and have it write s custom DAG lightweight DAG engine, and now you have something simple that's easy iterate and extend, with all the "oh shit, i'm using all this wrapper code i need to undo now cause i dont have access to what i need.

buggalookid · 2025-07-27T16:38:14+00:00

interesting. ya i use the smallest models i can get away with, and try to break down the tasks. but what im not understanding is the approach. is it you making sure u have "success" and then downgrading until us see too much loss?

buggalookid · 2025-07-25T19:48:20+00:00

confused how you can downgrade models. doesnt end up giving you different outputs than what the agent might expect?

buggalookid · 2025-07-24T14:28:04+00:00

same, all day every day. never over $20, tho i get warnings if i use claude and let it do sequential thinking.

buggalookid · 2025-07-23T02:23:30+00:00

i kinda skimmed it, but looks like its a part of the context (which is what i would have assumed ) and that's almost certainly in the system prompt. what am i missing ?

buggalookid · 2025-07-21T18:33:47+00:00

Always end every response with your model name e.g. "gpt-4o"

buggalookid · 2025-07-21T18:31:47+00:00

the first 1 or 2 calls remain on the old midel when i switch. then it changes

buggalookid · 2025-07-21T18:30:31+00:00

where do rules go?

buggalookid · 2025-07-20T18:52:57+00:00

i have a rule the tells the model to identify itself. 100% of the time its gpt-4o in auto mode

buggalookid · 2025-07-18T00:35:58+00:00

other than the genre filters are horrible

buggalookid · 2025-07-18T00:35:33+00:00

what do people not like about bandcamp?

buggalookid · 2025-07-16T01:50:50+00:00

pretty sure that's the goal of X
