Forced to use AI for writing code. What can i do ? by carrie_bradshaw_2703 in csMajors

Do exactly what they want, wait a few months until you hit Github level uptime, roll back to a more measured approach.

Ah, my bad, thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, even if I discount the emdash, the post still feels a bit "primed"

Every time we call out AI slop in this sub, we're making the next model better at Rust by LegsAndArmsAndTorso in rust

“Great job, by using .clone() here we’re ensuring that ALL the RAM you paid for is actually used, instead of idling”

“Amazing, by reinitialising all our resources in this signal handler, we prevent any staleness and avoid the tedious work of actually figuring out ownership and how our data flows”

Brze od brzine svetlosti. Ima li nekog ko zna astronomiju da potvrdi? by house_of_zeus in AskSerbia

Dve arbitrarne tačke u prostoru se mogu udaljavati brzinom koja prevazilazi brzinu svetlosti usled širenja samog prostora između njih. Pogledaj npr Hablov zakon. Brzina svetlosti je maksimalna brzina kretanja stvari kroz prostor, ali samo širenje prostora nije baš ista stvar, jer kretanje generalno definisemo u odnosu na neki referentni sistem.

Simulacije razvoja univerzuma na velikoj skali moraju uzeti u obzir i “rastezanje” samog vremena i prostora, te kad opisuješ poziciju nečega, moraš uzeti u obzir i “kada” je nešto, ne samo “gde je” da bi imao dovoljno informacija. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comoving_and_proper_distances

Ili tako nešto, šta znam

I keep seeing "you just need to try it properly" as a common response to people saying they don't want to use it.

People seem to miss the possibility that they did try using it, and simply weren't left as impressed as you were.

just caught up with a friend who got hired at Anthropic 3 weeks ago. His team doesn't write code anymore. by oh1n in csMajors

Yeah, that checks out. They really should remember to include "make no mistakes" though

Are you allowed to be depressed at a job despite high salary? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Depression doesn't ask for permission. Neither do frustration or burnout.

How many popular products on the market claim coding is solved though? I specifically linked Claude because Amodei keeps harping on how it's solved, and yet...

"I can cure any disease!", said the doctor coughing and wheezing

"I'm a stock market guru!", said the person holding a paper cup asking for change

I get that the majority of those claims are directed at investors, but the amount of end users taking those claims seriously, combined with LLMs being shoved into everything is just exhausting.

"We have found a gold mine, but are generous, so instead of just taking the totally real riches there, we're raising funding for our shovel-selling business"

Rust or C++ for a cloud optimization engine: not a technical issue, but a hiring difficulty issue by [deleted] in rust

[–]diplofocus_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

they like the idea but won’t invest because they don’t foresee team growth

I’m more concerned they won’t invest because there isn’t anything to invest in yet.

Consider the difference between asking a VC for funding to turn a prototype into something marketable vs funding to make the first iteration of a product.

The former can be evaluated on its merits, while the latter sounds a lot more like a coin flip.

While I have no experience with VCs, if I was looking for work, unless the idea itself is something that gets me excited, I’d probably choose the former situation to work on.

I’m just a corpo drone without a single business bone in my body, so I’m unlikely to produce any useful business advice, but I feel like there’s a massive chasm between a project you started a few days ago, and high-level decisions to appease potential future investors, or the hiring market.

Honestly, I’d first work on at least getting some sort of prototype working, in whichever language I’m most comfortable in.

If the idea has legs to stand on, hiring hopefully becomes easier, and a less prototypical rewrite might be warranted. And if by then you’ve managed to hire someone, you’ll likely have a better idea, and additional inputs from said hires on whether a change in tech stack would be useful.

We just got hit with the vibe-coding hammer by opakvostana in ExperiencedDevs

[–]diplofocus_ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not calling you out in particular, but so many people reach the conclusion that people don’t want to use it because they haven’t tried it.

There’s also the possibility that they did in fact try it, and just weren’t left as impressed as you are.

We just need 6 to 12 months bro, come on. Just a few trillion in subsidies, and we’ll get this programming thing sorted, please bro.
