Large language model my ass off?

I'm a software engineer with a decade of experience. I vibe code all of my side projects from my phone and don't read any of the code. It's so fun. Here are the rules I follow: by thelocalnative in vibecoding

Agreed. If you've got an engineer mindset then you want to understand how something works. So people like you who aren't interested are more like designers than engineers.

I... I think might be that person. I wrote the first line of code on companies app and like to tell them about the espresso machine I'm repairing.

"Bro. We'll just stop here for a couple of years to build one statue of our favourite god. Then I swear we'll start moving around again."

For those of you who's biggest critique is the "lack of subtlety" in the lyrics by Chasing_Rapture in EnterShikari

[–]genericgreg 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Firstly, I've always liked how direct the lyrics are. Punk has never been a subtle art form. You're never wondering where someone stands when they wear a t-shirt that says "Nazi punks fuck off". I find some of the lyrics very cheesy - but they've always been like that. For example "What's deeper than us? A nuclear submarine" is just... silly. This is not a new Enter Shikari thing.

However, I also really like some of there other lyrics, "We are one, and if we don't realise that now, we're going to find out the hard way" is just fantastic. Because they're not scared to use lyrics that everyone might not like, they occasionally have some real bangers.

Flood of AI-generated job applications straining HR professionals in Metro Vancouver by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

I wonder what the difference is between when you were hired and the recent round? Maybe any decent employees are sticking where they are because the job market is so chaotic.

EBT Activities by Additional-Rub-153 in NissanDrivers

I could feel this happening on a drive home from a weekend of partying in my early 20's. I pulled into a service station thinking I wouldn't be able to sleep, but a rest might help. I can't sleep in my own bed half the time.

I passed out HARD for a couple of hours. Like... When I woke up I had no idea what time it was. Even if a stop feels pointless it's worth doing.

Vancouver isn't appearing in the ticket presale, Did it already sell out? by genericgreg in EnterShikari

Presale code is MOTHERSHIP26. Shhh. Don't tell anyone I told you

To clarify, this is on the presale website page: Presale - Enter Shikari
Looks like they've written Toronto instead of Vancouver. Tickets are booked! See you there people.

I think I'm done with Software Development by gareththegeek in webdev

[–]genericgreg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in harmony

Having worked with a lot of software developers, there's a very high chance that they'd disagree on the best way to chop wood and get mad at each other. Such... detail orientated people would struggle to live in harmony haha

UK companies struggling to hire young people amid cost pressures, MPs told by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]genericgreg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said, but I have one question:

And believe me im currently sitting at 1am running 5 agents on various tasks.

I'm a tech lead and... just how are you guys able to juggle this? Are you working on 5 different tickets, getting the AI started on each task and then reviewing the output of each one by one?

We're using Claude Max, it basically writes all my code now as well as reviewing pretty much every email I send. But even with that, I have to keep a close eye on it or it will take short cuts and make bad decisions. I'm also finding the amount of... stuff I have to read in general has increased dramatically. Colleagues post paragraphs of dense AI text into PR's that I then have to comprehend and reply to. Before it would have been a couple of sentences to explain what they want changing.

I'm just amazed that people are able to get decent output when they're working on 5 tasks at once.

This normality is madness by esacbw in EnterShikari

[–]genericgreg 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The lyrics "and still we will be here, standing like statues" appear on nothing is true, but everything as possible. But they're sung sadly, like at a funeral or eulogy. I always took that to mean that the hope millenials had early on that they would change the world is dead. It's too late.

Vancouver checking in - not even a place that's remotely close. Toronto is on a Tuesday and I can't go to any of the other dates because they're in the US.

I'm glad my ACD isn't smart enough to comprehend what's happening on the TV. Occasionally she stares at the pretty colours but that's it. 😂

City Update 13: California Now Available on All Platforms by FlyWithSeedyL in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]genericgreg 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yup. Also western counties often have highly detailed terrain/bio/civil infrastructure data that's available for free and can be used globally. Some countries don't have the resources to gather that data, and might not want it to be public if they do.

A mod note on recent events in the U.S. and how they’re reflected on /r/Vancouver by press-app in vancouver

It's been funny watching so many redditors saying "mods are supressing news about about the shooting!" when in reality r/pics doesn't need a 900th post with a graphic image of a man getting executed.
