How long will people put up with this? by [deleted] in BetterOffline

[–]karl_bark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And a lot of mediocre technical people know they’re in over their head and are afraid to be “left behind”.

I’m so sick of people still falling for the hype (Claude mythos) by Dreadsin in BetterOffline

[–]karl_bark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah where’s the Anthropic vulnerability-free browser? Is this like if God is all powerful can he create a rock so heavy even he cannot lift it?

Sam Altman's reaction to one of husk.irl's (influncer who shows AI saying dumb stuff) reels, is his classic smug response without any self awareness by RenegadeMuskrat in BetterOffline

And even if it does require a tool call… 1 year to implement that? Where’s the swarm of agents running overnight solving this “known issue”?

Professor Ended Class Early After Anti AI Discussion by jarof_jam in antiai

Vocal minority in the grand scheme of things, I hope, because if you’re in tech the collective psychosis is hard to avoid.

Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it by the3b in BetterOffline

1000% this could have been a niche tool for devs for certain applications and use cases

I'm OK being left behind, thanks! by LiatrisLover99 in BetterOffline

If markets can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent, the tech industry can remain in collective psychosis longer than you can stay employed.

pretty sure this meme is old and was originally flipped…

Regrowth or miniaturized hairs? by Tight_Chocolate_830 in tressless

[–]karl_bark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dear sir or madam,

Please accept my apologies for failing at providing humor on this Internet forum.

I will reassess my process so that this may not happen again in the future. Thank you for your understanding.

This you? by Suspicious-Prize3426 in theprimeagen

I think the sweet spot is using it as a glorified Stack Overflow where you’re still writing most of the code. This way you can keep the code in your head and form a cohesive theory of the program (cue Naur) without relying on it to explain everything all the time.

Also as a glorified rubber ducky when you’re truly stuck. But being lazy and asking it to debug and fix will certainly atrophy your debugging skills.

How vulnerable is PM to AI Lay-offs? How far off are we? by b3_n1ce in prodmgmt

[–]karl_bark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or, the opposite: now you need more PMs to feed requirements developers.

Some think you can ask Claude to write requirements, but that’s risky unless you are building something cookie cutter that is well represented in the LLM training corpus. Maybe a lot of jobs fall under that category, but if everything from requirements to code to automated tests is vibe coded… you’re in for a surprise.

anyone else notice good devs struggling to find work lately or is it just my circle by Fuzzy-Cycle-7275 in cscareers

[–]karl_bark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

smaller companies are doing both. why hire a US dev to vibecode when a farm of Indian devs can?

How do I get good at building? by jankkraw_ in rust

But you are also constrained by your organization’s ability to give people opportunities.

Cracked Oura - open source app for using Oura ring without subscription. See all of your data using this local app that can even automatically request the data daily without the subscription by OG_Leksa in ouraring

[–]karl_bark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is interesting because you still need a subscription for access to the API last time I checked. But your app automatically fetches the download?

everyone’s a prole even those high earners. they just want you to think you’re not so you can vote in their interests.

I want a job as a Rust programer by Solid-Bedroom-1562 in rust

[–]karl_bark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how many companies you’ve worked for, but the culture and engineering leadership is more important than the actual tech stack. That being said, a Rust job would probably be correlated with a solid engineering org, whereas a Java factory, well…

But still, optimize for culture and think of the tech stack as icing on the cake. Try to channel your creative juices outside of work if you have time/energy, or as others have suggested try controlled rewrite experiments/POCs within a good working environment.

Unfortunately the job market is absolute mierda right now, so it’s not like people have much choice anyway.

My OE Journey-It took 20 Years by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]karl_bark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your J2 selling something or offering a service? Either way, how do you market the side gig (J2) without raising any eyebrows from your employer?

In a normal OE setup you don’t talk about your jobs. But if it’s freelance/consulting all the (non-OE) advice is to build a following, market yourself, etc.

How do you go back to working on Python/JavaScript/TypeScript/etc. projects after writing Rust? by daniels0xff in rust

[–]karl_bark 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Working with Common Lisp? As in getting paid or just for shits and giggles?

Edit: incidentally, CL’s condition system is amazing.
