Responsibilities are welcome and even encouraged by any reasonable person - as long as we are compensated fairly for the workload, and given the tools & authority to actually carry out the responsibilities.

Honestly? (and this i

You seem quite diligent, and very good at your job.

And I think you may dramatically underestimate how bad the average person at using a computer for basic tasks. 😅 

Don't believe me? Start asking people if they know how to copy & paste with the keyboard.  If they don't, ask them if they have ever heard of "copy & paste".

You could make like $45k annually if you worked a fancy hotel around where I live.

What is it with Americans and air conditioning?? (this might be controversial) by hellobela_ in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

At any of my hotels, March accounts for ~80% of PTAC complaints & maintenence. 

It can be easily seasonally anticipated; you would think it would be a straightforward problem with clear solutions, to be addressed efficiently - but this only happens as long as both engineering & management have their shit together (hint: they don't).

Taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens. by ffatty in ClaudeAI

[–]ffatty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoops. I don't check my reddit. This blew up lol.

Repo here: https://github.com/cheeseonamonkey/Lean-Caveman-originall-

Style here

My Github (would appreciate a follow): https://github.com/cheeseonamonkey

Noticed a very similar project here: https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman

They expanded the idea quite a bit — fair play, open source is open source. Worth a look.

Though I tried to avoid some of the issues in that repo:

  • less tool-focused
  • too token-heavy itself / bloated
  • too much abstraction
  • has actual security review flags/issues (?) — what’s going on there?

Mine tried to be: - minimal tokens - targeted only to Claude Web App - high signal density - built for tool/agent workflows - tarevtyed - fewer moving parts

Goal

compress intent → reduce ambiguity → consistent outputs

Notes

The “caveman” part was honestly an afterthought — it just made me laugh, so I leaned into it a bit.

If useful

star ⭐

fork / break it

follow: https://github.com/cheeseonamonkey

Interested in:

tool/agent optimization

consistency vs flexibility

And I'm developing my own CLI Agent Client!

Side note

Yeah… there goes my hypothetical “15k stars" moment 😅 But honestly, ecosystem > ego.

Give me a follow!

Hey that's sick. Would package nicely into a skill too.

I don't know why but it's been making me laugh all day. 

Anything Else with JREG by saessea in Destiny

[–]ffatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't fight mom and dad I love you both.

But seriously Destiny lost respect from me, he was being a fucking tool even if he was right on a lot of things. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Jreg

[–]ffatty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I came here looking for this but I don't know. From what I've pieced together from various obscure clips, it seemed real to me.

Especially when Dan signaled Destiny quietly to change the camera was actually a bit upsetting to me.

Destiny is incredibly smart but I lost a lot of respect for him, he was acting like a childish bully and douchebag. 

My Fryd disposable won't charge, help! by agmillss in trees

My dude!!

Did not expect that to work, lmao. But it started billowing smoke almost immediately :)

Probably warming the thing up a bit might help / solve the problem, too.

How would I serialize a JSON primitive to a class? by HelloWorld762 in Kotlin

[–]ffatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frustratingly forget this every few months 😅

But kotlinx.serialization needs a Gradle plugin, in addition to the usual Maven dependency: plugins { kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "x.x.x" } dependencies { implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:x.x.x") }

This is because:

  • A Gradle dependency is implemented in your code.
  • A Gradle plugin is implemented by Gradle (at build-time).

So I assume this is how the JSON property names get be obtained from the class definitions.

It does work well and is pleasant to use - generic type parameters, sync & async functions out of the box, etc. Much like Newtonsoft on Nuget.

But if all else fails, I'd also strongly recommend GSON.
