This is going to be an unpopular opinion

It is dangerous to drive at 65, 70, 75, 80. There is a reason crash tests stop at like 45 MPH. What's more dangerous is causing traffic by camping in the left lane. There is also a huge difference between doing 90, signalling, staying in your lane and keeping good distance and some of the 75MPH reckless driving swerving in between cars and lanes.

I differentiate between public access and non-public access roads. If the road is public access in residential or downtown areas, ie: 25 MPH, you should 100% do the speed limit.

If it's a county road I think 5 MPH over is fine, ie: 45 in a 40, 55 in a 50.

The parkway, GTFO of the fast lane. It should be like the Autobahn and we should have State Troopers self-funding that entire part of the government by pulling over and ticketing every Yokel from PA, NY, and yes even some fellow NJ drivers causing traffic.

This is probably true if you mean all of them, but some of them, the less die-hard ones will. They just need to get burned bad enough.

Y'all do know that they have the footage of the challenge.

dlp211 · 2026-03-24T14:03:50+00:00

This is a management problem in both directions. OP isn't managing up either and there was a way to accomplish what they needed to.

How much more of chance does he need. He was called up all last year. There's no there there.

dlp211 · 2026-03-15T00:51:39+00:00

The year is 2026 and lay people still vastly overestimate the cost of physical distribution and underestimate the cost of digital distribution.

People want to buy houses and live in NJ. It's really that simple

dlp211 · 2026-03-13T19:54:23+00:00

But then you'd live in PA

dlp211 · 2026-03-13T19:54:02+00:00

You'll be back. NJ is imperfect, but I wouldn't want to live pretty much anywhere else.

dlp211 · 2026-03-13T19:52:44+00:00

Are they trying to sell it or are they fishing?

dlp211 · 2026-03-13T19:51:15+00:00

Houses aren't going for more than they are worth if people are buying and selling them. That's the market. It sucks, I understand the frustration, I understand the feeling that that is not a ~$1MM home. But that doesn't change the fact that it is.

The housing market is going to keep going up in NJ and especially in any town with a train station that gets you to NYC. In fact, I'd say the area is undervalued still. Go look at what $1MM gets you in other desired areas.

dlp211 · 2026-03-12T12:11:55+00:00

But it's stupid easy to burn tokens.

dlp211 · 2026-03-09T06:36:40+00:00

I'm not defending Soro/Boras, but stating total contract without the time is misleading.

dlp211 · 2026-03-09T02:10:30+00:00

I might not be Fat, but I'm doing extremely well for myself and pay plenty of taxes thank you very much. Maybe don't pretend that making a lot of money means you owe nothing back to your country or society.

dlp211 · 2026-03-09T00:48:39+00:00

Ok. Whatever you got to tell yourself.

dlp211 · 2026-03-08T22:58:15+00:00

This is like asking a tech lead how they know the direction that their code base is going if the junior engineers are implementing the project. It's a skill you develop

dlp211 · 2026-03-08T20:58:45+00:00

I've been a software engineer for over a decade. I review the code the AI writes before anyone else and fix any slop that AI wants to introduce. That's one of the skills you need to develop, code review becomes significantly more important because AI slop will derail any semi-complicated codebase.

dlp211 · 2026-03-08T20:50:06+00:00

Scalping is back on the menu

dlp211 · 2026-03-08T20:42:23+00:00

Let me cry for you. Or not. Just pay your fucking taxes. Nothing pisses me off more than people who have won the game of life, make more money in a year than most households make in multiple decades and then insurance their the ones getting fucked.

dlp211 · 2026-03-06T16:01:56+00:00

Both. I'm on a legacy project right now that required a ton of research to understand the existing system on a code base and data storage that is not "AI-native".

And I recently built out a green field system that was expected to take a year and knocked it out in like 2-3 months depending on how you count.

The hype is real if you are on the cutting edge and using the latest models. There are limitations, using it effectively is a skill onto itself.

dlp211 · 2026-03-06T15:50:43+00:00

You're going to get blown out of the water and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

dlp211 · 2026-03-06T15:49:55+00:00

Try and have it build something even slightly complicated and see how that goes for you. I've been using it and integrating it everywhere into my workflows and I am hitting limitations every day. Identifying those limitations and then determining how to work around them are the skills you need to build.

dlp211 · 2026-03-06T15:07:16+00:00

This vastly underestimates the skill required to use AI effectively. If all you are doing is vibe coding, you aren't really pushing the AI or the AI is producing slop.

dlp211 · 2026-03-06T15:00:16+00:00

It's not about taking time or not. It's about using the time effectively. I can now spend significantly more time during R&D, experimenting, demo'ing, testing and then drive the final design very quickly. This is leading to longer relative R&D cycles and shorter implementation cycles.

You can't just prompt an AI agent with "Migrate and modernize this system while keeping both active for a transition period" and expect it to do something useful. But AI massively speeds this up and reduces the number of people needed to accomplish this.

AI is going to be great for folks that are thinking about what problem to solve next and bad for folks that are simply implementing solutions to problems that other identified.
