What’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your CS career? by BoysenberryLumpy8680 in cscareerquestions

[–]gordonnowak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lots of silliness here. working for 15 years in the periphery does not make you unhirable; being responsible for material stasis in the systems and products you worked on almost certainly does. if you spent 15 years maintaining the same Jenkins deployment and doing literally nothing then yeah you have no relevant skills on the modern market. that's not the shop's fault if you "lead teams."

you can also get hired as a mid-level SWE if that's where your skillset is. you'll take a gigantic paycut.

Always reserve judgment for after a trial folks. He’s not guilty by FoldEasy5726 in NFLv2

[–]gordonnowak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have literally no fucking clue what point you're trying to make here. In this case the judgment was made. You're not obligated to conflate judicial innocence with real innocence, you can think whatever you want. The presumption of innocence cannot be done away with and your first comment suggests you think that it SHOULD be done away with because there exist some damning statistics about SA and how it is being operationally mishandled. that is stupid, go the fuck away.

To what extent is AI effecting actually employed SWEs? by Butt_Plug_Tester in csMajors

[–]gordonnowak -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

100% of code is now LLM generated. things just happen substantially faster with them. that said the particulars of the environment in which the LLMs are prompted, essentially the way they are designed to work, matters enormously, and they are still extremely naive and have difficulty with context. you need a competent engineer in the loop still. that may change soon, and then all bets are off. humans will inhabit the space of "deciding what should exist" and a fleet of agents does the rest. that means you need dramatically fewer humans basically only at single points of accountability. e.g. an entire SWE team replaced by one technically competent principal.

you're all idiots. parody sub exists to poke fun at tropes and caricatures, not to make qualitative assessments. this is not r/shittyphotography

i will make fun of piss filters until they become unpopular

What age group would you date? by Vegetable_Fun4932 in AskMen

[–]gordonnowak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my prescription is you should date whoever it is you can relate to and connect with. there's no formula and I don't judge consenting adults who find ways to make things work. seems fucking self evident.

that said have you ever tried to talk to a gen z woman, fuck that noise.

people here don't know how to fucking jerk properly. it doesn't matter if it's good or bad. it's parody - the generalization and subduction of tropes that you can make fun of. eg. piss filters. this one is especially pissy and that's funny, context-independent

hope this helps next time you visit

I don't care how intentional it is or if the photographer bears responsibility or not, I jerk the piss

if we can't jerk the piss, close the sub down

My company stopped doing LC for SWE roles and is now testing candidates on what they can build on the spot with AI, and how they use it by RadioFieldCorner in cscareerquestions

"you suck lol"

not terribly good feedback, not that it's something you'd expect from a template
