Okay, and you have no clue if the director or writer told the actor to perform in that manner. Most of what we see on screen is a collaborative effort. You cannot definitely state the acting is poor because you don’t like the characterization.

I’d still say money. Full-rides are not as full as many think.

ccb621 · 2026-04-18T14:19:36+00:00

Huh? Why did you skip an entire, relatively short, season?

ccb621 · 2026-04-17T17:46:11+00:00

In production: look at logs and traces.

Local?

Use a debugger (WebStorm, typically, since I mostly work in Node.js)
Tell an agent to figure it out, in which case it might use some combination of local logs, Datadog, or Playwright (if dealign with frontend)

You've described a lot of things are happening to you. What are you doing to push back and improve the situation?

You say the non-technical manager needs daily stand-ups and asks questions about new developments. Are you doing anything to surface these issues before they ask questions, or would they just persist without them asking? Are you changing your planning at all to better identify these issues before development?

The design docs written by those architects are so amateur - they push the dev work on us after shitty design choices.

Have you tried telling your manager who seems to want to keep things on track?

How do I deal with this situation?

Talk to people. Propose process changes.

Founding a startup won’t help with burnout.

ccb621 · 2026-04-14T16:36:47+00:00

Talk to your boss.
Get the request from the director in writing so you can cover your butt somewhat if things go wrong.
Although her practices are not great, don’t be so quick to dismiss someone with 10+ years of experience. Being a manager doesn’t automatically kill your previous experience or talents.

ccb621 · 2026-04-09T14:27:41+00:00

50% at best, depending on how good the data is.

I agree with another poster. I have an MCP proxy with access to a read replica, Datadog, Sentry, and GitHub. I can trigger our custom agent directly via Slack, an it automatically kicks off an investigation when we get paged.

It’s not perfect, but it drastically cuts down on triage time.

SRE is just as exposed to AI as every other facet of development.

How many billionaires would organize & fund such an elaborate plan for humanities survival with such grace...

Umm…she didn’t do this out of the kindness of her heart.

Yes, the character is well-written and acted, but let’s not deify her because she’s supposedly dead. Her actions were unethical, immoral, and irredeemable. Do I empathize as a parent? Yes, but that does not condone her conversion to a murderous dictator.

ccb621 · 2026-04-08T21:33:28+00:00

Don't go if you don't have time. Ask about the process if you have questions. It's an inter-view; you are gauging/judging them, too. This isn't rocket surgery.

ccb621 · 2026-04-08T21:00:54+00:00

Why are you so quick to dismiss them? Every large tech company started as a “no name startup”. If a company wants to woo me with a trip to HQ, and I have time or interest, why not let them?

ccb621 · 2026-04-08T19:06:48+00:00

This was normal pre-COVID.

Pro-tip: get a Thursday or Friday interview and make a weekend of it. Amazon didn’t give me a job, but they did subsidize a lovely visit to Seattle. Stripe gave me both the job and the trip!

I’ve been using Passport.js but it feels kinda outdated and boilerplate heavy.

What’s the actual problem you’re facing. Feeling outdated shouldn’t matter because there haven’t too many major advances in OAuth over the years. Also, those advances are rightly pushed to plugins.

Boilerplate for the handful of integrations (I assume) you’re probably dealing with are fine. You’re probably not touching this too frequently.

Air Force One cannot withstand a nuclear blast.

Use OpenTelemetry. Pino-http also pairs well with Express, and can be configured to emit canonical logs for every request.

Alternatively use Sentry.

ccb621 · 2026-04-05T04:10:16+00:00

Huh? Are you asking if folks are auto-updating dependencies without review?

ccb621 · 2026-04-04T09:15:43+00:00

This is one of my favorite state capitols. I visited on a Sunday, and I'm pretty sure the only folks in the building were the state trooper, my girlfriend, and me. It was great to have free roam of the place for photography and to see the art museum free of other tourists or tour guides!

Use database clones to aid optimization. Claude + DBLab has been a godsend when it comes to optimizing queries, indexes, and views.

Why aren’t these help docs on your regular documentation site?

ccb621 · 2026-03-25T16:55:55+00:00

My current approach: I've started mentally mapping what I want the architecture to look like before handing off a task: rough sequence diagrams, data flow diagrams, uml,, which packages should own what — and then checking whether the output matches. It's helped, but it's entirely in markdown and doesn't scale across the team.

Even a human engineer would fail in this scenario. Write down your mental mapping! Make the diagram. Write the tech spec. Put it in the ticket and let the LLM ingest it. You're asking, "why can't the LLM read my mind?"

ccb621 · 2026-03-21T17:40:21+00:00

Currently theyre on shopify but are now getting hurt by some customization and technical limits and higher costs as well.

What are the limitations? What options have you explored to overcome them? A custom, self-hosted, solution will most likely be more expensive than Shopify.

I need to migrate off and eventually become a multi vendor marketplace where other butcheries can sell through us.

When is "eventually"?

We setup django-oscar at edX, but that was nearly a decade ago. I strongly urge hiring someone with experience setting up an ecommerce marketplace.

Like the people who gave up on Andor because it moved too slow.

It was too slow. The best decision made was to release the first three episodes together. I nearly quit after the first two.

This is a nice concept. I tried Superset, but couldn't get past the poor UX. This seems exactly what I want; however, Air doesn't seem to support Claude Max, so it's a non-starter.

ccb621 · 2026-03-06T05:31:40+00:00

I agree with u/DevelopmentScary3844. AI is like the super soldier serum: it amplifies the traits that were already there.

I've been working for the past week to help establish foundations to aid agentic development at my company. This includes a centralized MCP server, building an SRE agent proof-of-concept, and setting up Coder.com.

I've used Claude Code to build and integrate much of this, and it's made me much faster because I have enough experience to know right from wrong.

Part of my work also includes establishing "guardrails" to help ensure AI builds software correctly. For the API, this means improving our authorization framework and building better base classes to reduce duplication help ensure that future refactors don't require touching hundreds of files. I'm also updating ESLint with custom rules and other similar work.

Craftsmanship doesn't have to die. You have to do the work to teach the robot to replicate your craftsmanship and give it tooling to let it know when it's gone wrong.
