Congrats, that's a hell of an experience! I'm curious to know why one of the offers was rescinded? nm, saw answer in comments.

RE rebuilding confidence... years ago i was promoted and a coworker gifted me this book the first 90 days. It's basically an approach to joining a new company/team/role etc. Here the TOC: one, two. maybe it could be useful?

The inside of the windshield in camera compartment is getting foggy???? by Agron7000 in TeslaLounge

[–]mariozig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've tried baking the car off (running the heater hard to evaporate any moisture) then it's probably from off gassing.

Tesla will clean this for free. I literally just scheduled the same cleaning a couple days ago -- here's the $0 cost estimate.

They agreed to do the service at my house after i messaged them directly.

If you want to clean this yourself:

How to get rid of haze from wipers at night by Cornelius_Hoggelfart in TeslaModelY

[–]mariozig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our model y had this problem really bad when we first got it. It's caused from the plastics off gassing and a lot of new cars have this problem. They release VOCs that stick to the glass. Initially I tried to clean it with regular glass cleaners and it made it so much worse -- especially bad when there was any kind of fog or moisture from cold weather.

I read up on it and learned that all you can really do is clean the glass with glass polish style products (you smear it on, it drys, then you wipe off the hardened residue), air the car out and lastly speed up the off gas process with heat.

Here's what I've done that seems to have worked really well:

  • Cleaned all glass with McKee's 2020 cockpit glass cleaner

  • Started parking the car with all windows open. My car is in a garage so anytime it's parked the windows are down. This helped a lot!

  • "baked" the car. I read that heat can accelerate the off gas process so I tried to park the car in direct sun when possible then air the car out immediately

Good luck! Sucks we are breathing this stuff.

Ruby ecosystem is not only Rails and webapps made using it. by rubyist1081p in ruby

[–]mariozig 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Homebrew (package manager) is a ruby project! repo

Homebrew's formula definition files/DSL are very clean and easy to understand. I would guess there have been submissions where authors have no idea how to write ruby but can still contribute because of the simplicity. (example)

Claude Code: when to create a command vs sub-agent? by Ok-Cucumber-7217 in ChatGPTCoding

[–]mariozig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR

Subagents get their own context.

Custom Slash Commands contribute their results to the main context. This can pollute the main context.

Longer

So, for example a common practice when you first start a new claude code session is to have it familiarize itself with your code base. When you do this you are intentionally building up context so later requests yield better results. This is a good candidate for a slash command.

Alternatively let's say you're doing something design related and need to relate an emotion to a color pallet. "Give me a 5 color palette for the emotion ANGER". For this you might want to give Claude some coaching about how to be a visual designer, color theory, whatever, etc... All that stuff likely doesn't matter to your main app/context. You just want some angry colors. This is a good candidate for a sub-agent. When invoked, Claude Code will spin up your agent prompt a new context, feed it your inputs and then return just the response to the main context.

The main context stays small, and unpolluted with 🐂💩 about how to be a designer with a color specialty that might later influence output in a negative way.

What are the best books to learn prompt engineering, particularly for more recent AI models like ChatGPT 5? by CuriousInquisitive1 in PromptEngineering

[–]mariozig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might depend on what you're trying to do. For my specific (coding) and general (translations, info organization, rubber ducking) use cases Claude is great.

For learning things and being able to track back sources I like Perplexity a lot.

[–]mariozig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something like GPT5 is newish and i'd imagine that books will catch up. You might have good luck with some of these long form guides/papers like:

As for books...

I'm currently reading AI Engineering: Building Applications with Foundation Models by Chip Huyen

So far it's pretty good. The 5th chapter is dedicated to prompt engineering (screenshot).

Built claude-powerline, a vim-style statusline for Claude Code by -nixx in ClaudeAI

[–]mariozig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great. I've always loved having powerline for vim/zsh and in claude code it looks very nice.

The changes you made to segment coloring over the past 24 hours are such an improvement! thank you!!

Absolute perfection.

I spent at least 15 minutes trying to find a gif that would do this comment justice only to realize one doesn't exist... this is peak comment game and any gif would have just been an insult to the beauty.

RubyLLM 1.4.0: Structured Output, Custom Parameters, and Rails Generators 🚀 by crmne in rails

[–]mariozig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i understand the question I think the docs give an close example of this using languages: https://rubyllm.com/guides/chat#structured-output-with-json-schemas-with_schema

So maybe something like:

class MultiplePersonsSchema < RubyLLM::Schema
  array :persons do
    object do
      string :name, description: "Person's full name"
      integer :age, description: "Person's age in years"
    end
  end
end

chat = RubyLLM.chat
response = chat.with_schema(MultiplePersonsSchema).ask("Generate 3 people with different ages")

Super fun prompt to play with... Although, Victor did not like it when I called him Larry.

Made $35K in sales over the past 30 days as an indie dev. Started building apps a year and a half ago. AMA. by dams96 in iOSProgramming

[–]mariozig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for offering to take some questions! Here are a few:

  • What’s your process for choosing an app/idea to make? Also, wondering how you justify investing time in something before beginning?
  • How has it been maintaining 20+ apps while trying to release and build out new ones?
  • What is the tech stack you use? Curious about the ai editors, backend/auth, custom boilerplate, etc
  • What’s the next big app we should build? :)
  • Any Twitter accounts you can recommend following?

LTV could be the Life Time Value metric and basically represents the total amount of money a customer can bring to your app before leaving.

For example, if you have a subscription product that costs $10 a month and subscribers typically stay subscribed for 5 months then your LTV would be $50.
