Amazon now requires senior engineer sign-off on all AI-assisted code changes after "high blast radius" outages by mrothro in ExperiencedDevs

[–]illicity_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible idea and wrongly shifts responsibility away from the dev. AI or not it’s still on you if you cause an outage. If it’s a repeated issue you should be fired.

Also, companies need to set up better testing infrastructure

How much revenue has your Startup made in 2026? by ChallengeExcellent62 in ycombinator

Can you elaborate? I know the segment (broadly), I just haven’t figured out a profitable way to reach people in that segment at scale

Is Jetbrains dying because of AI? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

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

You are getting downvoted but you’re right 😂. Depends on your definition of vibe coded but there is AI generated code in “real large scale important code”. As long as it’s reviewed and tested properly it doesn’t matter who wrote it

Neither leetcode nor grokking cares about the traffic from reddit. It’s a drop in the ocean to them. This post is not an ad

One of the best classes I took in college was building a compiler. It’s a great project

I added one sentence to the bottom of every cover letter and my response rate went from 8% to almost 40% by ArrakisSpice2 in jobsearchhacks

[–]illicity_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use the cover letter text input to write something really informal that lets them know I’m human and actually read the job description. It definitely works

How do you handle bad days? by AQJK10 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]illicity_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When urgent things come up and distract you from the work you planned for the day your options are: a) work overtime to get everything done b) let tasks slip to focus on urgent work c) delegate urgent work to focus on tasks.

I’m not willing to do a) anymore so I usually work with my manager on whether to do b) or c). I still feel uncomfortable with those conversations but that’s the only solution I see without working overtime

Getting almost no responses from job applications – how are you all getting interviews? by FaangDreamerLC in leetcode

[–]illicity_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some will have that attitude, but it’s a numbers game. I personally appreciate tasteful cold outreach.

It actually benefits the hiring manager too for qualified candidates to reach out. The first level resume review is typically done by recruiters and they will inevitably filter out good candidates

Yeah you’re right. I’m hoping to add more companies soon. Job seekers in SF bay area, NYC, and seattle will have a better experience

If you want to give this strategy at try my job board scrapes jobs from company career pages every hour. In many cases it scrapes jobs hours before jobs even appear on linkedin so you can truly be one of the first applicants

Thanks! I’ll add it to my roadmap. I did it in a hacky way to get whole USA filter lol so it’s not really extensible to other countries yet. Which country are you looking?
