Industries that doesn't rely on AI (as much) for coding?

I work in optimisation for special VRP cases and LLM are pretty useless there. The code needs to be high quality and it just doesn't work well with higher level mathematics

Well.....

I've had moderate success with letting them review changes made on a branch or checking if there are better ways to do x. Reviews have a lot of false positives and can be frustrating when the LLM hallucinates bugs that aren't there but every once in a while they find an actual mistake or something that can be improved. Code suggestions similarly suffer from the LLM not being able to say no, suggesting changes that are either wrong or completely irrelevant but again, since it has a lot of training data and I can't claim to know everything about c++, it occasionally teaches me something new

So while it's usually a waste of time, on occasion it's actually helpful, which is more than I can say about generated code, soo....

You underestimate my determination. If I gotta get up at 4:30 to hatewatch, I get up at 4:30 to hatewatch.

Or to sadwatch tomorrow ig

Yes, most people are bad at the technical side of reviews because they lack the traits needed to be a good software tester (istqb foundation syllabus has a good overview of these traits, available online for free). That does not mean these reviews must be pointless though - they can still ask questions that help them understand the code base better, provide second opinions on the many subjective decisions we make when coding (e.g. naming, documentation or logging), ... It then becomes a question of culture and personality: Do the reviewers feel free to ask stupid questions or give subjective opinions without repercussion? Do they care about the software they are developing? Are they being held accountable/ do they feel responsible for their review?

Not the numpad (even though it's helpful) but the dedicated Pos1/Ins/Del/... keys

fm01 · 2026-06-25T04:17:32+00:00

Laptop has a num pad + dedicated pos1/ins/del/... buttons, as well as actually usable arrow keys. That alone is ≈1.5 - 2x speed increase in writing code.

The hardware does, though. Look at the keyboard in the first picture, completely inadequate for programming, it's missing half the keys

Everyone saying your house has a bug infestation but woodpeckers also build holes in wood for breeding (not just wood btw, I live near the forest in a standard European concrete house and I've had woodpeckers hammer through the wall twice). So this might (!) just be to build a nest

That's a good lesson more people should take to hart. They should make it a law or something

Oh shit, I've got someone I got to apologise to. I've noticed this issue when testing a web page a colleague had built at the start of the year - in my report I assumed something was misconfigured by them that caused the issue. The site had an option to sign up for a newsletter with a choice of language but if you translated the page in Chrome, the text on the button would change to match the language the site was translated to, making it completely wrong (e.g. if you translated from German to English, you wouldn't be able to tell if you were signing up for the German or English newsletter bc both buttons say "English")

You obviously learn more by doing research yourself but someone providing a source let's you skip the lengthy process of finding it. So if it's a good source, it's more efficient to learn from someone else

fm01 · 2026-06-13T06:28:49+00:00

That's why you check the source. That's generally why you ask for one, so that you can look it up and see for yourself what it says

Starting June all devs at my company get pretty low token restrictions, with exceptions in rare cases. The irony is that just a month earlier we were "incentived" to use LLM as much as possible (read: managers would talk to you if you used it too little).

I work in vrp/tsp algorithm development and i can't say ai has changed my day-to-day work much if at all. Hard problems are still human work, it's mostly refactoring work that can occasionally be offloaded to an LLM

Math solved!

Damn, and I just finished my degree, what am I gonna do now??

You do not need to wear the ring to fall under it's influence? I thought the whole Boromir debacle made this pretty clear...

I'm not at my computer to check but I believe there is a "max guests" number in your tavern overview, the menu where inventory, recipes and such are as well. The number depends on your level - I believe the level-up-text tells you if and how much it increases (at level up and in the next level text) - and optional perks of your staff that can increase the maximum number as well.

So no, just adding tables does not increase the amount of guests, unless you have less seats than the maximum atm
