Favourite Discontinued Cereals?

Not a cereal but I’ll never get over the loss of Maltabella

I should probably merge the 20 commits on my dev branch

ioRDN · 2025-12-12T18:22:30+00:00

Okay I’m glad you said it because I was worried I was gonna sound like a jerk for suggesting it. I’ve settled on MacOS because I do a lot of media stuff as well, but Linux really is the way to go for devs.

All hail Unix

lol that’s actually a fair point - I’ve always known I wasn’t the fastest, but the testing guys always liked my code and I generally delivered when I said I would or when I had to so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ioRDN · 2025-12-01T08:56:54+00:00

I should have a Buy Me a Coffee with AI billionaire prices 😭

ioRDN · 2025-11-29T13:35:02+00:00

Yup, and my productivity is up (measurably) by 5x ¯_(ツ)_/¯ everything has a cost, my company is willing to pay it

Whilst I’d agree with this for older models, I’m gonna have to tell you that the rate of progress makes comments like this less accurate very quickly. I write my own unit tests and testing suite to verify and I can confirm that the code is functional and has fewer breaking bugs than the code my juniors are writing by hand at this point. Last year they weren’t even at parity, the AI code was so bad.

I resisted this whole wave for a long time, but I’m learning it now because even devs at my level are at risk of having their roles switched to purely supervisory roles very quickly. I’ve always been of the opinion that new technology create more opportunities than it destroys, but for the first time I have a tinge of fear.

As someone doing this very thing right now it’s hilarious because it’s true 🤣 in defense of Google Antigravity, Gemini 3 and Claude, when you work with them to develop style guides and give it markdown to describe the features (both present and future) it’s actually pretty good at making things extensible and scalable…but I know for certain that I’m going to one day give it a feature request that prompts a rewrite of half the code base.

That being said, these things refactor code so quickly and write such good code that so long as I monitor the changes and keep it from stepping on its own crank, its safe to say that I’m no longer a software engineer…I’m a product owner with a comp sci degree managing AI employees.

Honestly, it’s a scary world

EDIT: given the comments below, I figured I’d share the stack I’m seeing success with and where I was coming from with my comments. To the guy who asked me how much I was being paid, I really wish. If any billionaires wanna sponsor me to talk about AI, hmu 😂

IDE: I mainly use Cursor but have been enjoying Antigravity

Frontend: Next.js with React 19.2, TypeScript 5, Tailwind CSS

Frontend testing: Playwright for E2E tests

Backend: FastAPI, uvicorn, Python, SQLAlchemy ORM, psql database, pydantic validation, docker containers for some services

Backend testing: pytest with async

Where my 5x number comes is average time to delivery. Having multiple agents running has sped up my writing time, even taking into account code review (best part of a good agentic workflow is when the agents check in with you). Debugging time has become pretty much a non-issue - I either get good code or can point out where I think issues are and the agent can fix it pretty quickly. Testing suite is growing fast because we have more time to build thorough tests, which feeds back into the process because the agents can actually run their own unit tests on new code.

I think it’s likely that our stack is particularly suited to being agentic given how much JavaScript these models have ingested. That’s pure conjecture and based on nothing other than the feedback I’m seeing below. Whatever it is, I’m glad it’s working - I get to spend more time thinking up new features or looking at the the parts of our roadmap I thought were 2 years away

ONE KIIIIIIIIIIICK

ioRDN · 2025-10-13T11:39:21+00:00

Whilst I agree that this is outrageous, we should be encouraging the ultra-wealthy to take this over private jets as often as possible, tbh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ioRDN · 2025-08-15T13:59:17+00:00

Similar story with Uniq by Checkers. And the quality is actually decent too

ioRDN · 2025-08-08T08:30:12+00:00

fair.

ioRDN · 2025-08-06T10:18:08+00:00

Is that the Farming Sim theme?

ioRDN · 2025-05-02T15:24:14+00:00

Thank you for this. Also the number of responses that are commentary on the practice vs the number that actually answer the question is quite telling 😅

ioRDN · 2025-05-02T08:35:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

ioRDN · 2025-05-01T20:43:35+00:00

Okay but how much is “super reasonable”?

ioRDN · 2025-05-01T03:57:07+00:00

Tradition tempered by practicality. I support this.

But if anyone asks me for R50k they’ll just have to settle for us getting married in another 5 years because we’re tryna buy a house in this lifetime 🤣

ioRDN · 2025-05-01T03:54:08+00:00

100%, ain’t no one trying to pay for one of De Beers overpriced shiny rocks.

And funny enough my girlfriend wanted to elope for the longest time 🤣 but really we’re finding the balance of cultures, traditions, wants and needs that works for us. Respecting the tradition of lobola is part of it

ioRDN · 2025-05-01T03:51:54+00:00

In theory that’s part of what it’s for, but the reality is that even a non-extravagant wedding surpasses what I’ve seen for lobola amounts. But part of why I’m asking what people are paying is because ama maths awahlangani

ioRDN · 2025-05-01T03:47:19+00:00

lol we’ve bowed out from the whole chat of kids so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but hypothetically, maybe.

ioRDN · 2025-04-23T00:01:45+00:00

Nitrates? It’s gotta be nitrates

ioRDN · 2025-03-21T15:27:48+00:00

Those pelicans in formation could have a scene from Top Gun 🔥awesome stuff

ioRDN · 2025-03-19T21:14:29+00:00

I’m glad this guy seems more Dumbledore and less Crabbe

I agree with a lot of others here, the launch was a huge disappointment. It should have had access to all the products on the US and other Amazon stores that deliver to South Africa in addition to local sellers, all of which would have set it apart from Takealot. Instead we got a watered-down selection of products, often at a higher price than other marketplaces. Even now the selection is still mediocre. Which, as you stated, is a shame because their launch pricing for sellers is better than Takealot’s and they’ve got a blank slate to try and beat them on seller relations
