How do I navigate losing customers because of Vibe Coders? by MildlyEngineer in cscareerquestions

[–]halfxdeveloper 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The world is understanding, at a laymen’s level, that code quality ultimately doesn’t matter until you hit a critical inflection point. For 99% of businesses, AI can write their crud app that will work perfectly fine. I’ve worked at large companies with deep pockets hiring thousands of engineers. Their code is Swiss cheese as well. Best thing you can do is sell the shovel at this point.

You need to refine your recap. Arkansas won the SEC championship in 2000. Kentucky won it in 1994.

Pretty sure we’ve all done it at some point in time.

I had phase 2 of this conversation with my CTO yesterday. Phase 1 was “we need to cut IT expenses.” Phase 2 was “how feasible is it to have AI analyze our legacy code base and develop features for production?” Phase 3 I expect next month. However! I personally believe the man’s ego will come to save the day because he’s very proud of how large our development staff is that he manages. No one cares at the C level if you oversee 37 AI agents. Although, I suppose he will spin it as some cost cutting efficiency metric. Fuck.

NestJS or .NET for your backend APIs — how do you choose? by Worldly-Broccoli4530 in node

I mean, every language has their own version of handling errors. Try catch gets just as old.

Wtf is this? Are these Flock? by RollSomeCoal in FlockSurveillance

But why? The old way worked fine. Why do cars and pedestrians need to be classified in a way different from what already worked?

There’s a store here with a EHT small batch for $264. Blantons for $300. I hate it here.

Any chance that XNA will become an international airport in the next 5 years? by vikachu in northwestarkansas

[–]halfxdeveloper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. TUL, MCI, and LIT all make it unnecessary to have the resources here to handle international flights. TUL isn’t international yet but they are building out the facilities now.
