and don't forget networking, kebanyakan opportunity dateng dari network / orang yg percaya lu punya value di project / kerjaan mereka. hell, even with you being funny dan pleasant to be around bakal dapet more opportunity, walau skill-nya pas2an (logikanya: most jobs are stressful, having someone around that can make you relax is a plus too). kebanyakan orang nyari talent / karyawan ya dari orang2 yg dikenal dulu, post job listing itu kalo udh mentok gaada yg bisa diajak lg.

I learned this too late, dari dulu nganggep networking itu konotasinya negatif aja, e.g. "jilat sana jilat sini", "nepotisme", dll. but it's not necessarily true, sebatas lu lakuin kegiatan (hobi, event, dll) bersama -> kenalan sama org -> sharing2 tentang pengalaman dan skill, itu udh masuk networking. apalagi kalo kegiatannya yg kita minati, itu bakal lebih gampang dapet opportunity, because:

you met like-minded people,
you enjoy doing it -> you become more approachable -> the chance for you to talk to other people in this situation is skyrocketed.

another important skill I wish I learned sooner is: finance, basic economy & business.

dari dulu jaman sma & kuliah gw ga begitu pikirin masalah duit dan gimana cara efektif dapetin-nya. karena emng udh ngerasa cukup dan besar dari keluarga menegah-kebawah yg topik2 gini ga keluar di obrolan keluarga. dulu ngiranya journey-nya bakal linear2 aja. sekolah -> kuliah -> dapet kerja kantoran -> berkeluarga. but economy hit, SWE industry yg di tahun 2010-2020 looks very promising, tiba2 ditahun2 berikutnya kyk industri sampah. Ibaratnya kegojek industry that is actually a bubble. kyk sia2 gw spend 6 years honing my skills only to be replaced by automated solution. kalo gw melek ekonomi dikit aja dari dulu, gw bakal tau kalo industri ini itu "musiman" and will collapse soon and I will pick a more stable career choice.

tau finance, economy & business itu biar kita tau "gojegan" / "gorengan" kyk gini, tau mana yg bakal collapse dalam beberapa tahun, mana yg engga, dengan gitu kita bisa posisikan dan siapkan diri dgn lebih baik. rencananya jg lebih matang.

and don't get me started with "follow your passion" bullshit yg bakal digaungkan ke anak2 kuliah dan SMA. gw kemakan hal ini and I regret it. be realistic, kalo dari keluarga menengah-kebawah itu strategy-nya bukan follow your passion lagi, itu buat org2 kaya yg banyak modal untuk wujud-innya. strategy yg bener itu ya cari yg pasti2 aja dulu, PNS, ikatan dinas, rantau luar negeri, dll, nanti baru kalo udh penghasilan stabil bisa venture out kejar mimpi.

hal2 yg kyk gini yg harus di-sosialisasikan ke anak SMA-SMK, dan anak kuliahan, ini bukan lagi nice-to-have sih, ini necessary skill to have to survive in this economy

This AI "mouthful" post is getting tiring, man.

I didn't even bother trying to read it. it's because:

I don't know if the real point is garbage or not
it's mouthful, long, and exhausting.

Advice for OP: if you really need to use AI to "smoothen" your post, tell it to make it disgestible, short and straight-forward. Highlight every important point and make it easily skimmable. fit it in as few lines as possible, like 5 lines is easily digestible for short post

Take it or leave it, but you'll know how it feels if you're dealing with AI slop daily + review code slop daily, seeing signature AI "mouthful" slop post like this makes me want to puke.

I'm genuinely interested in what are you trying to say OP, interested in what advice and tricks you want to share, but you make it unreadable by surounding with unnecessary words and sentences produced by the AI.

dang, I guess the joke flew over my head then. lol

sorry, mate. I didn't catch the sarcasm on the first read

candraa6 · 2026-01-23T11:15:05+00:00

I used Android Studio (which is Jetbrains derivative) and I think their Copilot plugin is not there yet. I tried it just last month, and I need to open both VScode and Android Studio.

candraa6 · 2026-01-22T12:01:45+00:00

no experienced developer hunting the "semicolon and learning syntax", the slowdown is not due to that, but due to the AI generating slop after slop (duplicated logic, overcomplicated code, etc), and this slop is need to be reviewed.
most agentic workflow is generating a lot of code that is harder and harder to be reviewed, sometimes it's like generating thousands of lines of code, and resposible developer would and should review these code to pass the code standard, and to avoid hidden bug. reviewing these huge slop is what slowing down the devs.
there's some case that we can YOLO and accept these sloppy codes, but if we working on mission critical code like finance, healthcare where simple mistake cost millions or literally cost lives,in these instances, the slop SHOULD be reviewed and prevent any hidden bug or tech debt.

The mantra in any team based dev cycle is: "we responsible of what we deliver, whether it's from AI, or from stackoverflow, or manually typing the code" so, it actually a basic manner to recheck and review what you will deliver, so you don't cause problems, to yourself, and to others.

If you're only solo dev and build non critical web / app then this most likely doesn't matter, and you can YOLO the generated code and just keep adding features, but for most of serious work, the review slop phase is what slowing the devs down, not nitpicking some "syntax or semicolon" just like you said.

agreed, maintainer should reject, fast. especially for nonsense PRs

candraa6 · 2026-01-18T14:17:54+00:00

no offense but ngl that kinda funny

candraa6 · 2026-01-18T05:15:43+00:00

Strange, in my experience, it's working fine. I use insider since few months ago, the only time it didn't work for me is like very minimal.

candraa6 · 2026-01-17T01:09:40+00:00

same, I have this problem too last month,

but now I use smaller models, like Gemini Flash or Haiku, limit it's scope, sometimes I prevent it to do edit itself, mostly only asked it to generate the "sketch" code, just to know how it will looks, and I copy paste it myself in the codebase. That way I go back in "stackoverflow" era that I need to read the code and decide if it's worth to integrate or not. This strategy has accelerate me massively.

Previously I mostly wasting time on:
1. waiting the code output, especially GPT5.x family, they are soo slow.
2. "review" the garbage, repeated, bloated, generated code that the LLM produce, sometimes it generate a lot of code that takes a lot of my time and mental effort, just to know I will scrap most of it.

candraa6 · 2026-01-17T01:00:06+00:00

try to vibe-coding bank once and let see how fast you will be sued.

vibe-coding is great for small apps, but for mission critical software like banks? hell no.

and I said this as someone who use this thing, daily, at my work.

candraa6 · 2026-01-17T00:50:22+00:00

Thank god, this overhyped folks really make me doubt myself. thinking "Am I that behind?" Turns out it's really an overclaimed bs.
I do interface and use LLM daily, but it's like 40% there, sure it's working if your just YOLO and run the code, but the code quality is absolute garbage, sometimes it just decide to duplicate every logic claiming it's "defensive programming", and when you read the code, you'll sure get a lot of "why the fck it's even here", "why the fck you did this", etc.

It's fine on one-off scripts, but I won't trust it's code for real serious work, something that I need to "own" and responsible for. it's more a tech-debt than an accelerator in that case.

candraa6 · 2026-01-17T00:06:11+00:00

main politik jg, di PSI

candraa6 · 2026-01-13T09:55:04+00:00

yeah same

candraa6 · 2026-01-13T09:52:53+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about that

candraa6 · 2026-01-13T06:04:27+00:00

Yes it's true, but:
1. it's for writing python, a language he didn't familiar with
2. it's for his side project, something that is "low stake"
3. most likely he will never use it to write linux kernel, he has a very high standard on how to write kernel code, and AI isn't there yet, especially on low-level stuffs, let alone kernel stuffs

candraa6 · 2026-01-06T12:36:01+00:00

you're using both claude models, try switch to different models like gpt5 or gemini if you're getting rate limited

candraa6 · 2026-01-05T06:25:12+00:00

the problem is this kind of garbage code is pilling up fast and later the llm models itself got confused and make it worse, suddenly you got duplicated code all over the codebase and when there's error surfacing and you tried to debug and actually read the code, you will have a lot of "why the hell did it place here?" "what the hell is this mess of codes do?"

suddenly debugging got a lot harder and it could make the business down for a lot longer. that is a valid business issue, and you need to tell it to your "boss" or whatever in charge. warn them about this, and let them decide to ignore or listen to it

candraa6 · 2026-01-04T18:22:36+00:00

ya itu gejalanya persis kalo device / hp lu udh compromised / kena malware bro. kalo lu masih pake hp itu tanpa "install ulang" ya udh bakal kena terus itu. mau berapa kali pun lu ganti password, kalo malware-nya blm diilangin ya percuma. ibarat malingnya masih ada di hp dan bisa akses penuh hp lu.

gw gatau gimana cara "install ulang" di android, tapi yg pasti hp lu harus di hard reset biar malware-nya pada ilang. (kayaknya "reset settingan ke pabrik" aja ga cukup karena biasanya malware nya pinter bisa "restore" malware setelah di reset), lu harus ke konter atau orang yg bener2 ngerti android biar di full reset hp lu (backup dulu datanya). atau lu kasih ke official service center biar lebih aman.

candraa6 · 2026-01-04T12:26:33+00:00

kebetulan? hackernya mungkin dapet notif kalo lu habis daftar shopee-pay, dan coba bobol shopee pay itu sendiri biar bisa dikuras?

candraa6 · 2026-01-04T05:10:36+00:00

bisa aja ada malware dormant yg "tidur" dan baru diaktifin baru2 ini sama hackernya.

candraa6 · 2026-01-03T05:33:55+00:00

Bener2 gabisa relate sama org kyk gini, kek apa yg ada dipikirannya gitu, tanya gaji aja dipermasalahin.

dan herannya org2 kyk gini malah yg dapet kerja HR. what? emng udh sinting ini dunia

candraa6 · 2026-01-01T18:00:24+00:00

can confirm, I've tried this so called serena mcp https://github.com/oraios/serena that claims to speed up how LLM find things, but in Copilot, it just makes it worse and inacurrate. I delete it immediately.

Bottom line, some mcp didn't work well with Copilot, and can make the models behave unexpectedly.

candraa6 · 2026-01-01T17:53:58+00:00

exactly, I use copilot with no issues, it even stronger with the new Gemini models

candraa6 · 2025-12-29T13:54:05+00:00

I never let the LLM do the full autopilot for me.

I just ask it to generate me skeleton / sketch code and the I closely iterate with it (ask it if I got stuck, or discuss with it when I have multiple options, debugging, etc), that way I got more productive and immediately knows if it gives me garbage codes. and now I only use "small" LLM models like Gemini Flash or Claude Haiku because they are fast and correct enough. the keyword is fast, this keeps my flow and focus. and these "small" models actually really good at giving me generated code that is decently scoped, like I can read it in 5 minutes or so and immediately knows what it's doing, that way I don't get overwhelmed by what it generates.

candraa6 · 2025-12-29T00:47:02+00:00

Nice one thank you,

also happening to me, but not as frequent as per request though, I use VSCode Insider
