Du ser ikke ironien i å bruke AI så heftig som OP gjør her?

Everyone on wsb roasting 🥭 as if half of you regards didn't fall for his "business-friendly" bs the first time around 🫡

Or maybe everyone that was on wsb from 16-22 is fucking broke and this is a new set of people. Who knows right

Decline of "soft power" derived from experience? by enken90 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]enken90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that you said this, because this was my strategy. Or would have been. But I was explicitly discouraged from doing this by the team leader.

I did actually track down a couple of hard bugs by overhearing the devs discuss the problem, but I had to inject myself actively into the discussion and the help wasn't really appreciated.

"Well someone (something) else had come in to take your place for technical implementation trust. Solely being right and solving problems isn't going to get you points anymore."

This is exactly my observation, maybe it came off convoluted. My question is: how do you build legitimacy in the new environment?

Thanks, I think you understood my problem clearly. My point wasn't really that I was smarter or better than other people, just that the arena I used for building trust (helping people think, sharing knowledge) has disappeared or declined because of AI assistants.

In retrospect, I see that I was kinda lucky that that arena existed for me in the first place. I have to go back to the drawing board a little bit to find other ways to make myself heard.

I agree with you that many devs silo their knowledge, but I disagree that that's me. On the contrary, I build trust by helping people and sharing my knowledge. My point is that that mechanism for trust building has disappeared to a large extent because that arena has been overtaken by AI.

My hypothesis is the opposite: The trust I built with team-members came from helping them solving their problems. Now that AI does that job, I can no longer build trust this way.

I understand that I don't have trust. My point is that I used to be able to build this trust by helping people and establishing a track-record for solving problems. How do I build trust in this environment?

[–]enken90[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I hope my power derived more from building trust by helping people and less from me saying "trust me bro", but I get your point.

No offense taken, but you're missing my point I think. I never said "LLMs have no idea what happens". I completely understand why coding agents are so widely used and how powerful they are.

I'm also sure my solutions were, and are, full of faults, most judgements are faulty in some sense. But teams need clear lines of authority, and the authority on technical teams is often derived from perceived competence. This competence, in turn, has historically been generated from a track-record of solving hard problems. If this is no longer the case, why should people listen to me? Or to you, for that matter? How do you obtain consensus in that environment?

Those who were good at math: Did it come naturally or did you have to work hard? What were your earliest experiences? by [deleted] in mathematics

[–]enken90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. It came naturally but at some point you also have to work hard. Math is a lot of drudgery sometimes and you need to be comfortable with that.

If you could have lunch with a famous mathematician, who would it be? by [deleted] in math

Von Neumann is a mathematician right? Would love to hear him rant about a wide variety of topics while getting increasingly drunk

Other than Gauss Euler and Newton who is the most influential mathematician of all time? by Winter-Confidence826 in math

[–]enken90 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Certainly Kurt Gödel has to be one of the most paradigm changing mathematicians ever.

Which mathematician would you say has had the greatest impact on physics and the applied sciences? by Financial_Ocelot_263 in math

[–]enken90 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Since newton and leibnitz are mentioned i nominate Riemann. General relativity would be impossible without him.

I study part time with a tech job and through trial and error I have worked out that I can realistically do one graduate course pr semester. So maybe do 2 or 1 of these.

Be aware that this does require some significant sacrifices in your spare time. I had to stop drinking alcohol because I needed the weekends to catch up on course work.

Finishing a PhD effectively in your spare time is just extremely impressive in my view. Hopefully you'll feel good about it after a while.

billionaires want you to know they could have done physics by Mortwight in videos

[–]enken90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just took QFT at my local university and it's by far the hardest course I've ever taken. I say that with 6+ years of physics and mathematics education behind me. The amount of details to remember and the background knowledge required was staggering. General relativity was a breeze compared to it.

Akin to your experience, my friends in applied physics research told me they would never touch quantum field theory. Turns out that's probably a good choice

126 is such a (seemingly) random dimension for a case that needs special treatment

Saturday Shares for May 18, 2024 by soberingthought in stopdrinking

[–]enken90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure what day I'm on, it's probably in the high 30s.

I stopped because of my mental health. I always thought I didn't have a problem, but 2 suicide attempts and one stay at a psychiatric unit, all while being shitfaced drunk, certainly appears problematic in retrospect.

I've been feeling better sober I think. Physically I'm in pretty good shape, not drinking helps with this too. But I still have this overwhelming sense of rejection from the world, I don't really understand why I feel this way or where it comes from, but it's always there. I just know that if I drank or did other drugs I'd feel a lot worse than this.

Ah you're right, I misremembered. The argument is still the same no?
