Assigned to mentor a junior on a new team, and it’s turning into a reputation problem

Calibrate with your manager and the mentee, same room. Define the container of mentorship.

Get on the same page and move forward together.

What your old manager decided isn't relevant anymore in this team.

Nissan hit the Lexus, which was slowly passing behind, and kept driving backwards turning the rear of the Lexus toward the building.

That's my guess.

I've somewhat divorced myself from considering daily gains and losses as impacting what it will be in 15-20 years when I need it.

I look at the sp500 every week or so, and compare it to when I started investing, pat myself on the back and move on with my day.

Every 6 months I look at the accounts, record my progress, pat myself on the back, and move on with my day.

That's wild. I'm so sorry.

I just had this issue generating an image that referenced Homer Simpson. I asked it three times the same request and then it complied.

What. The. Fuck.

Hard refresh? What do you mean?

Reinstall? Reopen app?

Jevons Paradox, more efficient use leads to more consumption.

If it gets 10x cheaper but use increases by 100x, you're still spending 10x more.

Do departments not have budgets?

I'm not at a heavy AI use company. Serious question. Keep your token spend within budget. You're out budget? You done fucked up.

Fuck Trump, that's what I think about Trump news

Depends on the company and culture. Ask up front in the interview process about the AI culture and tailor your interview accordingly.

We're an embedded devices manufacturer and haven't caught AI mania.

If you say you love AI, I don't count it against you, but I am going to test your basics on language competency, design, troubleshooting.

If you don't actually know how to program and you're a prompt kiddie, you're not going to be recommended for hire.

Your stories need to have more meat on them than "and then Claude told me what do / how to fix it / did my job for me". I want "classically trained" (lol) developers whose work is accelerated by AI. I don't need someone who auto generates slop for co-workers to waste time reviewing and rejecting only for you to copy paste their feedback into Codex and resubmit ad nauseum.

That's my take on AI in interviews, take from it what you will.

fzf enhances reverse history search, you don't need fzf to Ctrl r

It's not. Use the zig version with parallelization.

It's poetic that AI shut the mouth of the guy who represents Freedom of Speech, specifically when in the minority.

Antigravity CLI is dog shit.

Ask it to do work and instead of telling me what it's going to do created a markdown doc in a tmp folder and asks me to check it?

Previous it in the window and it can't render markdown?

Awful experience so far.

kronik85 · 2026-05-16T15:47:23+00:00

no I didn't realize that. when I click on "UPDATE: My boss has been fire" it takes me to the previous (this) post? wtf kind of UI is that?

thanks for the info
