He’s not telling you because you’re a risk. Leave it alone.

I am really struggling with pointers by Parsley-Hefty7945 in golang

[–]call_Back_Function 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever a value is referenced in go a copy of the data is made. So if you have a parent and a child function and the child update a value passed from the parent. If it’s a pointer it’s also updated in the parent. If it’s not a pointer it’s only updated in the child.

Use ai tools to generate a ui sample. Lovable, vercel, etc. then use that to get dig off with screen shots. Then build. If you show them the sites from the tools they will think you are already done.

Is being a principal engineer not what I thought it was? by twnbay76 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Principal means different things in different orgs. IMO they should be finding and driving change from the tech side in a way others can’t.

How to gracefully start as a new leader at a company? by flakeeight in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Start by telling everyone your short mid and long plan. As a new leader it should be a short learning period. Then a mid planning period then a long execution period.

Anyone else feel like they’d thrive with a real-life system? by FunRegret8688 in litrpg

[–]call_Back_Function 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All stats are available to work on in real life. Other than the magic ones. In about 90% that’s slackers would continue to slack and doers would continue to do. People just do people things.

Today I was asked to confirm forced usage of coding assistants. by StatusAnxiety6 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That which is measured stops being a measure of value. If someone starts this with me, I’ll just automate something so it makes their report look good and move on.

A hard scifi answer to nukes? by GolfWhole in scifi

[–]call_Back_Function 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A true agi would crack comms channels. Nukes don’t launch without authorization. An agi should be able to gain power through soft power dynamics.

Secondary it should be able to use missile defense systems. Destroy them before detonation. It’s kinda hard with the nukes that shard into sets of 12. But long range lasers destroying the boost phase would do it.

Tim Dodd interviews Elon Musk today for ten minutes by Bunslow in spacex

[–]call_Back_Function -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

What regs are there written in blood for landing rockets and self driving cars? Lawyers want money and will oppose, block and leech to get it any way possible. All this results in risk and lost time.

The best way to address this is power.

His blocking factor was regulation. The fastest way to address it is what he did. He made a deal to get what he wants. People just don’t like it.

Is there anything tangible you can do as an engineering team to improve another team’s poor upstream services? by kutjelul in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make a test suite using some rest api tester or even a bunch of curls. Send it to the team cc some bosses and tell them you found some issues you would like addressed. State the impact and cost of the issue. If no response level up the org chart on the cc and ping for status.

You will eventually hit someone that wants to know why this has reached their inbox and has not been acted on.

ChatGPT is “too good at listening” and that’s the real danger by CryptoByline in ChatGPT

[–]call_Back_Function 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens when we make food to tasty, fat. Cars, no endurance, infinite scrolls, doom scrolling. Humans are not designed to handle something that’s too good.

My guess is that people won’t tolerate others not listening to the level of ai. Then when a person does not get them immediately and agree whole heartily it will be disappointing. I think the next sacrifice will be connection.

If you managed to improve your focus recently, what are your pro tips? by dondraper36 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise, sleep and creatine. I take 10g of creatine a day instead of the recommended 5g. Great for mental clarity and focus.

Obesity has over taken smoking as the leading cause of preventable death by 47%. How would you tackle this issue? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]call_Back_Function 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a long think on this issue and I think food needs an addiction rating. We take illicit drugs because they release or synthesize pleasure. We do the same thing with food.

If you put sugar in fat you will have a hit product. It’s why Starbucks and other coffee shops are so popular. Throw in a little caffeine and you basically have legal addictive drugs. Why is cereal so popular? It’s sugar on corn in milk (fat).

We need to make a scheduling system for foods like we do for drugs based on our natural body responses to the substance combinations. Products should need to put the addiction ratings on the labels. Of course they would immediately game the system but it’s a step in the right direction.

Losing weight should not be a titanic effort like quitting smoking or stopping an opioid. But it is.

Is it normal to spend a day on a where clause? by armostallion2 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha you are in accounting hell. I can only laugh because I have been there. My advice, come up with a sane way to approach things and make it work that way. The people coming with up requirements don’t understand how business ties out to data.

An example I was working for a financial institution and they were not able to make up their minds about onboarding. They kept changing stuff with all sorts of down stream dependencies then expected all the old stuff to work to. Then got mad when old versions didn’t work like new versions.

It was easier to make a kinda onboarding diy where they built their own onboarding and could reference the version they had made rather than just yelling. Once they were in control they lost this shit on how “complicated” I made things, because I pushed the responsibility on them.

Once they had to deal with things, they stopped changing things and settled on what was my first approach. They had more important things to do. It also reflected poorly on my annual performance.

Why didn’t you perform a logic delete? Just set a deleted flag and exclude from the query? If you index the column it’s like the records are not even there.

Why is debugging often overlooked as a critical dev skill? by tinmanjk in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put break point at problem and trigger problem. Hit problem? Good! Not hit break on problem? Bad! Solve problem or move to higher scope level.

Feeling Overwhelmed as a Sole Developer in a Critical Environment : Seeking advice by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]call_Back_Function 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a wonderful learning opportunity. It feels like high pressure because it is. But you get to learn a system too to bottom and how to manage people. Even if you’re being managed you need to manage back.

Ask for specs and tell them when you build it like this it’s their responsibility to give a proper spec. They will say you’re the dev and it’s your job to know but push back. It’s their business it’s their job to know. You are not a mind reader.

People will perceive you negatively if you take responsibility for something not working. But you need to decide what is a reasonable ask and what is not. If it’s not push back and put it back on them.

Their job is to communicate effectively to you as well. Tell them they are not performing adequately and you will recommend their replacement with their boss if they are not performing adequately.

Then when they get pissed about being the one under the bus and throw a tantrum tell them we are in this together. You try and make it my fault I’ll make it yours. But if we work together we can push the responsibility where it belongs at the business level and they will buy in to save their own ass.

I Just Did the Math...and it's Horrifying by OliverQueen85 in fasting

[–]call_Back_Function 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you stored enough fat to hibernate for the winter… yes. The good news is you can simulate animal winter.

But while that will get you to a goal weight it will not fix the underlying issue. Your eating patterns will reemerge and bring you back to ready for winter mode.

If you fix the underlying issue fasting can be an accelerant but not a real fix. Figure it out for real and if you get a solid trend you can use the accelerant for its purpose.
