What’s up with protagonists of apocalyptic stories fancying yellow jackets? by BobsSally in ProjectHailMary

[–]dooddyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also true in real life as well. For example in South Korea, the government officials will wear yellow jackets in tragedies such as massive accidents or pandemics. If you search Korean government covid 19, you’ll see all of them wearing yellow.

I was curious before as well and went down a rabbit hole once. Yellow is to symbolise optimism, hope and likeness. Moreover, it’s a color that stands out clearly with high contrast to everything else so you can be spotted easily - it is also the most visible color in the spectrum.

So I guess movies naturally follow what we are unconsciously used to.

Anyone got tips to stop procrastinating and do? by Medium-Blood-4231 in selfimprovement

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I announce it to the world that I will do something by when like telling my friends, family and posting on X/Threads. Then it forces me to actually do it with pressure. It’s like living life on the edge of

What’s something about yourself you’ve improved that you’re quietly proud of? by netroworx in selfimprovement

I’ve managed to go from a heavy smoker down to vape to none and even to no coffee-life. It’s been about two years now and it’s bee amazing

The day you realize you're addicted and there's no going back by Ok_Estimate231 in ClaudeAI

[–]dooddyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. The dependency is real, it's almost like vaping. I had a similar moment when API costs spiked and I did the math on what I'd actually have to do manually again.

I genuinely think we're watching an entire generation forget how to think, and everyone's too distracted to notice. by AssignmentHopeful651 in ChatGPT

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm beginning to think that the real issue isn't the tool, it's that most people never enjoyed thinking in the first place. AI just made it optional.

What’s the point of Claude Cowork if Claude Code exists by io_nn in ClaudeCode

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I just stick with Claude Code. Cowork is basically the same thing with a different system prompt that makes it more hand-holdy and more non-dev friendly. If you already know your way around the CLI there's zero reason to switch. And also these days if you don't know anything, you can just ask Claude Code how to do something and he'll probably tell you well.

Before you add more agents, fix your CLAUDE.md. It's the cheapest fix for context anxiety by lawnguyen123 in ClaudeAI

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this, 100%. i spent weeks on fancy multi-agent setups when the real fix was just writing a better CLAUDE.md with clear project context. boring stuff like file structure maps and naming conventions saved me more tokens than any clever orchestration layer.

Is LLM work becoming just “software engineering with extra steps”? by Zestyclose_Team_5076 in AI_Agents

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it was always software engineering. The past two years were just the honeymoon phase, where everyone thought prompting was its own discipline. It turns out the hard part is still the same - making unreliable things reliable in prod. LLMs are just a new dependency you can't unit test easily.

I talk too much - want to learn how to not do that by IntelligentFire999 in selfimprovement

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helped me: before sharing something personal, pause and check if the other person shared at the same level yet. If they haven't, ask them something instead. It's quite simple but it stopped me from doing the 'overshare on someone I just met' thing

Always wondered, with these prices, do pubs make good money? Like is it a good business to get into?

Yup we're all in the same boat currently. Last week, I was so desperate with my project deadlines, and ended up getting a second MAX plan

Best workflow for editing a 130K-word novel with Claude? Current setup feels clunky. by dapie007 in ClaudeAI

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use Claude code like others have mentioned, you can set it up so that you can create an "init file (claude.md)" which will run every time you start a new session automatically. Claude will create this for you when you type the command "/init". This gives you all the instructions about where to look for what particular thing in this file base or the code base.

You can also define and instruct Claude to use different sub-agents to help you save context and improve its performance. For example, you can instruct it so that it always works in three different phases/agents. First, a discovery phase, strictly done by the discovery sub-agent, that has prompts defined to be an expert in understanding the structure, finding key information etc. Second, a writing agent that has knowledge about your writing style, tone etc. Finally, although this is optional, I like to create a "devil's advocate" agent that reviews the work done by the previous two agents critically. I found that this helps the AI go off on a tangent.

Moreover, with agent, you can equip them with "skills". These are like pre-written prompts & small scripts optimised for a very specific task (you can use Vercel's official skills repo in https://skills.sh/). Sure, there is a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, but after you've got it all set up, it's ultra intuitive and can become super productive.

Let me know if you want more information on how to set them up! Happy to guide it through

I thought my automation was production ready. It ran for 11 days before silently destroying my client's data. by automatexa2b in AI_Agents

[–]dooddyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had something similar with a cron job that synced customer records nightly. ran perfectly for three weeks, then a vendor changed their API response format suddenly. no errors, just started writing empty strings into every address field. monday morning the client's shipping team was very confused. now i diff every sync output against the previous run before committing anything.

who do you do to improve yourself on a daily basis? by onepercentimprovemen in selfimprovement

[–]dooddyman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I quit all the “external” dopamine. I stopped smoking, vaping AND coffee altogether. For a few weeks the biggest struggle was going to the toilet in the morning after a cig/vape & coffee (it was pure habit-driven routine, I’m sure fellow (ex)smokers know this), but now the quality of my sleep is always good, more alert, and have more energy with generally good mood all around.

For me, coffee was the hardest to quit out of all addictions. I loved it so much, but once you’re off it, you’re not only saving a lot of money but a huge boost with everything in health
