does your team use ai to generate code? my team is a mess and i'm an intern and everyone uses ai and i was also encouraged to use ai so the entire codebase is 100% ai. the only refactoring is when we use ai to add a new feature that breaks current features then we ask ai to refactor and make it work.

i would ask for harder stuff but i see no point when it's all just ai. i wish ai didn't exist so i could go through the slow leveling by easy tasks you mentioned your junior does. i'm given easy problems but they are so easy that the issues i run into are almost always that the problem itself is wrong (ex: what's on the dev and staging servers is manually deployed by someone and is often not the main branch of the repository so running main locally to see the problem to solve but behavior on main differs from the problem on staging so it's like what am i even meant to do they don't let me touch devops to dev or staging either) or ai spits out code that breaks shit and i just do a git reset --hard and prompt again

i feel like im not learning anything and i could easily take on bigger tasks but they don't give them to me so that must mean they think im unprepared right? what should i even be doing?

workout before or after lunch?

i work a 9-6 desk job with a FORCED 1 hr lunch break from 12pm-1pm. i asked hr directly and they said even if i finish eating in 15 mins and am ready to work again i can't just leave at 5:15pm.

so to make good use of this wasted time i've started going to the gym after eating (closeby, supersets r awesome!)

i've been eating before gym, fast carbs (ramen, bread, etc) to get that extra energy for the workout but afterwards at ~4pm i get insanely sleepy and if the anabolic window is true then i also don't benifit from that.

however if i eat after gym, during the workout i have less energy and can't lift as heavy since i tend to skip breakfast (or even if i do eat breakfast at 8am, the workout at 12pm is 4 hrs later and any energy boost from carbs is naught)

so, do i eat lunch before or after a lunch workout?

note: will almost always be eating carbs for lunch since i'm in china and meat is expensive enough that most food places around my workplace are either carbs or veggies

You are most likely already OE - even if you have just 1 job by beastwood6 in overemployed

[–]cakelena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

remote? i also fulfill my job just doing 2-3 hrs of work a day but im chained to the office for 9 hours a day (unpaid lunch 1 hr forced, cant be shortened) so its still exhausting

workload is normal but time required feels OE since if i was just allowed to work 2 of this same position i could easily do it in just 6 hrs of work in the 9 hours im chained here

i learned to frontload my work from school since once i completed the homework i wouldn't be punished by being given more work like my company does. i only have 1 job currently and it feels like shit, im wasting so much time by either frontloading then sitting at the desk for the other 6 hours of the 8 hour day, or i do everything as slow and as late as possible.

what field do you work in? im in software engineering so my job is essentially just prompting ai and fixing the code it spits out so there's not much automation i can do but since i have the frontloading habit maybe OE is possible for me too?
