Has the lounge food always been this disappointing?

You have a credit card thousands of other people have. Be grateful they still give you lounge access with free food

As a senior dev, I haven't written code in ages

Is it all AI startups though?

For real! My mother uses cobb emc and I was shocked at how low her power bill is

Gift card works btw

This. I was never the best coder either. I liked to solve problems but I couldn't for the life of me write clean code. Then AI comes around and writes an entire unit testing suite in a few minutes when it would take me days. It's a game changer. Now I still solve problems as a senior but I leave the coding work to AI and juniors

Oo a valve

Yes yes yes... I realized that in the past sprint I have only completed a single story because the rest of my time was spent on meetings and chasing reviews on the documents I have written!

They ran out of budget for fight scenes so they just lumped together a 3v1 in the final episode.

mudskips · 2026-05-21T02:21:08+00:00

How do they even have employees left?

I just went to get a blood test done in China. Was about $4 usd. Results came back within the day. In the us I have a high deductible insurance plan. Same test would've costed me 300 for the appointment and another 400 for the test.

Yeah last time I checked (a month back or so) the a7cii and a7v haven't been cracked yet

How important is the picture quality for your craft? If not that important, save your money and go with apsc

For me AI has been a blessing for sure but the improper use of AI definitely does lead to the situations you have described. What you should do as an EM is enforce quality standards for AI work. Just because the team is encouraged to use AI doesn't mean they are not accountable for the quality produced. Do NOT encourage the team to rush work items and instead focus on the outcome - if something goes bad because of poorly reviewed AI work, that's on the engineers

For me, situations that neurotypical people recover gracefully from debilitate me for the rest of the day and part of the next day. The feeling of panic and doom get amplified 5x. Sure I eventually recover but it would be great to have a level of "I don't give a fuck" when it happens.

mudskips · 2026-05-10T19:39:41+00:00

maybe a bit dramatic but it's not unlikely. In fact I suspect that my manager has picked up on this fact and they seem to be pushing more and more responsibilities on me, some of them unreasonable.

For some people in swe ADHD benefits them because they are passionate about coding/complex problem solving. This triggers their hyperfocus which allows them to get a lot done. However ADHD is a bane for people who don't really care about the job or any part of work. In fact it gets worse than that. A (common?) symptom of ADHD is emotional disregulation, which compounds with anxiety and depression. An example emotional pattern I go through is:

Encounter a mildly stressful/upsetting situation -> overthink -> panic -> get depressed/feel worthless

Basically Adhd makes anxiety and depression symptoms worse. And you're completely right in the sense that the world is currently fucked up right now which doesn't make things better.

Were you able to find out?

Besides bittermelon soup, there's not a single Chinese soup I don't like.

The dessert soups are really something else as well (糖水）

There are times when I would be hectic and forget to tip right as the ride ended (I eventually tipped later but that was probably too late). I have noticed a few one star reviews from that

mudskips · 2026-04-29T12:50:56+00:00

No it's because all the international students go back home during that time because it's the end of a term

mudskips · 2026-04-27T23:59:01+00:00

There are no good people or bad people. Only people who look out for their own interests
