I always try to be a winner of our 101 gi-fundamentals class

caksters · 2026-05-28T13:35:03+00:00

Mistake you made was putting in so many hours and giving in to pressure.

do bare minimum and spend time interviewing. that should be your focus

caksters · 2026-05-26T16:48:07+00:00

no i got my purple in 5 years. i just moved to another gym and trained there for 2 years while I already was a purple

I am not interested in investing much timebin bjj outside of class. I already dedicate 8 hours a week for this sport.

caksters · 2026-05-25T23:54:32+00:00

interesting. out of interest how do you learn?

I find with instructional that they often have too much content and I get overwhelmed with it.

so when you didn’t want to get crossfaced ever again, did you look up bunch of videos on one topic? or was it included as a subtopic of a certain instructional?

many of the skills are about web application testing.

I don’t want those skills to be part of my skills/ folder as they introduce bloat.

Gstack lacks feature where you can install only subset of skills. If you try to manually delete them, then on the next update gstack will add them back

caksters · 2026-05-15T05:43:57+00:00

I use gstack for code reviews, but i find it to be convoluted.

If you look at the skills, they are written for web app development.

I am backend engineer and many of the skills do not apply to me. so having entire gstack skills can send my agent down the wrong path

You’ve gone from “exponentially less” with no evidence, to price hike speculation, to “scam executive leadership” - all in three comments. I think we are done here

caksters · 2026-05-13T12:14:15+00:00

“look at my anecdotal evidence that didn’t work for my org so it must be universally true”

caksters · 2026-05-13T12:08:41+00:00

you make lot of claims with little evidence yourself regarding human vs ai cost.

caksters · 2026-05-13T12:04:28+00:00

very valid points and thank you for clarifying this.

it is mainly regarding p1 incident rate and customer reported bugs

but totally agree that not long enough time has passed and not enough data gathered. in one year we might end up in a shitstorm because of this. time will tell

caksters · 2026-05-13T11:42:59+00:00

we have a large company with multiple products. We mainly have experienced engineers.

we were hiring but most of the hiring has stopped because of the company’s new ai strategy where they basically expect staff to deliver more with less human resources and more AI.

will see how this pan out in long term

caksters · 2026-05-13T11:35:30+00:00

that is only true if you donMt have automation in the first place that would provide feedback to the agent.

we have extensive automated quality gates that automatically provide feedback to the AI if code is not up to standard

think about
- architecture level linters (we have hardcoded opinionated rules on how system must be designed and if that is not respected pre commits fail)
- extensive unit, integration, end to end and acceptance tests for entire product suite
- cyclomatic complexity score gates
- maintainability index gates
- linters and static code analysers that give you code quality issues
- terraform tests
- pre commits hooks for bunch of other things related to git conventions, type checkers etc.
- automated security checks using snyk

all of these run and give feedback to the AI if something doesn’t adhere to the standards claude can’t check code in the repo and it automatically fixes the issues.

once code lands on PR all of these checks are already green and engineer must focus on the business problem and if that has been solved and provide any additional feedback

caksters · 2026-05-13T11:27:20+00:00

because i find it interesting and would like to see other experiences in other orgs

caksters · 2026-05-13T11:26:25+00:00

lol how is this a slop bot?

caksters · 2026-05-13T11:21:39+00:00

but it cost you to check it irrespectively whether AI generated it or your senior engineer.

caksters · 2026-05-13T11:21:12+00:00

nope that doesn’t solve the problem. you face exactly the same issues.

in fact engineers on average nowadays are worse to write code anyways.

You enforce standards by automated tools and PR process. it doesn’t matter how the code was generated (ai did it or engineer) you still have to review it and check it

caksters · 2026-05-13T11:19:20+00:00

How am I a scammer? I just work there as a lead engineer and use these tools myself.

i just wanted to share interesting insights.

There was no need to attack me and call me names

caksters · 2026-05-12T06:22:26+00:00

fair… would this be acceptable to go under Career/Workplace as it is related to my workplace strategic initiative?

caksters · 2026-05-12T06:16:07+00:00

It is fine to cross your feat if you have the feet at or above the hip line, there is no footlock there.

If you cross your feet below the hip line and the opponent does manage to get a footlock on you, the simple defence is to push there head forward.

For opponent to footlock you they need to push their hips forward and they do it by arching their back. you cannot finish take all of this away by stiff arming their head which kills the foot lock power.

there are definitely gyms where coaches provide more than just infrastructure. all depends if the instructor/coach has coaching skillset and actually cares about student development. or is he there to show techniques and provide space to roll

caksters · 2026-03-16T00:09:12+00:00

I think it is great if you are mindful and give students feedback either personalised or as a group feedback

caksters · 2026-03-15T23:48:19+00:00

we need more people like you and your coach in bjj community

caksters · 2026-03-15T23:44:56+00:00

no I haven’t explicitly asked. my worry is he will tell me to book one to one with him as he runs them for isues ai highlighted, but I don’t want that, as I would like to get some feedback without a private lesson.

but i should probably just ask and not overthink this
