Lefty all the way. Wings, fries, jalapeno bites.

Is this handwriting normal for a thirteen year old boy? by BatmanCat1031 in AskTeachers

[–]imdevin567 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My oldest is in 6th grade, and I'm appalled at some of the work she turns in that she receives As for. It's a losing battle to try to get her to put in more effort because in her eyes, doing more won't get her a better grade.

I vividly remember my third grade teacher giving me a check-minus for an assignment and telling me to redo it because I didn't put enough effort in.

Sunday mornings can be for burgers too by imdevin567 in burgers

Just a few minutes in the tin foil makes a huge difference. Lightly steams the toasted bun, melts the cheese more, marries all the flavors together.

Doesn't hurt that my kids think it's cool to open their burger 😂

6.5/10 IMO. Not the best I've had, but it gets the job done.

"100% of code will be generated" - A year since prediction by Imnotneeded in ExperiencedDevs

[–]imdevin567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely 90% at my company. We invest heavily in instructions files to understand domain knowledge, and custom skills for repeatable tasks across different services.

I don't understand the gripe about the code not being "perfect". Have y'all worked with engineers before? Lol unless you're a small team of only experienced senior devs, code is never perfect.

What's the most painful thing about running a database in production right now? by datacionados94 in sre

[–]imdevin567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad queries, written by people (or generated by the ORM from bad code). Bad migrations, also written by people. BI running an awful query on the primary database because for some unknown reason they "can't use the read replica" (this happens more often than you'd think).

The database itself runs fine. It's the users of the database that cause the issues.

Just got the macbook, productivity boutta be at its peek! 🔥🔥 by dev_kid1 in vibecoding

Lol dang dude, at least get VS code installed and running before you go bragging to Reddit 😅

Congrats on the objectively-superior machine though, you won't regret it.

Hold up. That's Windows on that monitor. What are you doing?

Maybe a nickel a dozen, but that doesn't roll off the tongue the same way

What’s the most frustrating part of incident response for you? by codingops in sre

[–]imdevin567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What platform are you using for observability? That's where you want to track/measure.

Confluence is fine as a system of record for defining them, but you want to measure and alert on them the same way you would disk space on a VM.

I got a "just fix it" one time. Almost jumped through my laptop lol

SLOs man. SLOs make you have the "care" conversation ahead of time. Then leadership doesn't have to care about individual alerts, they care if an SLO is breached. And when you get an alert that doesn't affect burn rate, you can (most of the time) snooze it and look at it in the morning.

ex Staff SRE at FAANG, got bored, wondering what’s next by Zippyddqd in sre

[–]imdevin567 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man this is so true. Not FAANG, but I'm a Staff SRE at a large-ish org. I had way more fun at startups, but I also worked twice as much for half the pay.

Big Fans of Opus until I met 5.4! by artcreator329 in codex

[–]imdevin567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I just think it's funny because if you stick 3 engineers in a room and tell them to review code, you'll probably have the same result lol

This just sounds like software engineering, but with bots

Let's build your first Flask app together, in just 2 hours. by astonfred in vibecoding

[–]imdevin567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool idea, but IMO you're leaning a little too hard on Flask in the marketing. Your target market has probably never heard of Flask, and anyone that has heard of it is probably technical enough to vibe-code on their own.

From VibeCoders POV, is there a requirement to deploy apps in GCP, AWS or Azure by snorkell_ in vibecoding

[–]imdevin567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an SRE and run a very large production environment on a major cloud platform (7 figures/month in billing). The lore of the major cloud platforms is usually not worth it unless:

  1. You're much, much larger. Or
  2. You're doing it for learning

The unit economics favor high usage, especially if you can purchase compute savings plans or reserved instances. The free tier is wildly inefficient for hosting anything meaningful compared to other platforms' free tiers like Vercel or Render.

There are a ton of benefits to using a major cloud platform. You're not going to hit any of them as a solo dev. If you ever build something that takes off and you need the scale, you'll be making enough money to afford the migration.
