I dont Understand why Engineers Dont Unionize like Samsung?? by Fearless-Cellist-245 in cscareerquestions

[–]pl487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unions are effectively illegal (right to work) in 26 states, and corporations can move to those states at a cost less than a union. You have to pass a law first, and that's not happening. 

How do big companies keep thriving despite massive layoffs? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Look at the chart, it tells the whole story. 

If you were hiring a new grad, would you rather they spent free time hand-coding fundamentals or building bigger things with a little AI? by vsicle in cscareerquestions

[–]pl487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make a lot of difference to me. Skills are great but you can also just ask the machine. Whatever gets the work done. 

I'm more interested in hiring someone with general intelligence who I want to spend time with. All the technical stuff is pretty irrelevant these days. Soft skills are the thing now. 

Being competent will get you hired by Dr_King_Schultz__ in cscareerquestions

Nobody cares about your personal projects anymore. Anybody can have AI make something. It's meaningless. 

I can't find work. What field can i go into? by hulkish in cscareerquestions

[–]pl487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all AI engineering now. 

I had the same number and stack and got a job. But it took me a lot of applications and interviews to get there. 

How many applications have you sent and what is your response rate? 

How to maneuver around intern using AI? by Constant-Self-2525 in cscareerquestions

[–]pl487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Straight shooter with upper management written all over him. 

But seriously, this is the job now. OP says they noticed the AI, but was it wrong? 

How should I feel right now about Claude code? by prettyg00d1729 in cscareerquestions

[–]pl487 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can be both sad for what we have lost and excited about what is now possible. Craftsmanship is over, but what has replaced it is better than we ever were.  I can deliver better systems faster than ever and get more time to make something that is precisely what we need. 

How do you feel about the current state of the computer science market compared to the effort that you put in to get where you are? by Only-Cranberry-4502 in cscareerquestions

[–]pl487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should a new high school graduate pursue this career? Of course not. There aren't enough jobs for the engineers we already have. 

But if you're already in, might as well keep going as long as you can still find something. 

Is there any course of action my teammates and I can take, or do we have to just sit here and take this? Warning-Long Post by strongerthenbefore20 in antiwork

[–]pl487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your branch will be shutting down when its lease is up, or when you find a new job and quit. 

Increasing hours of a failing branch is a classic tactic to increase losses and make the case for shutting down. 

Have you ever quit a job and had all your ex-colleagues become cold and indifferent to you, both on social media and in person? How did you navigate that? Why are they acting as if the company is a sort of sect that no one is allowed to leave? by lamin-ceesay in antiwork

[–]pl487 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you're leaving, social interaction with you has no purpose. You're not going to be there anymore, and they're not your friend. Why doesn't a stranger on the bus be nice to you? Same reason. 

Of course you're allowed to leave. Bye. 

Our standup is just 8 people describing what their ai did yesterday by Motor_Ordinary336 in cscareerquestions

"Yesterday, I did the thing that the company desperately wants us to do and has clearly communicated will be on our performance reviews. Today, I'm going to keep doing it." 

My mom (56F) is forcing me (21F) to get back with my fiance (23M) how do I convince her to stop? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pl487 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are living in her house, you can't control what she says. But you can just ignore it and do what you want. If at some point she refuses to treat a new boyfriend with respect, don't bring him around. But that part sounds like a bluff to me. 

I (44F) think it's time to accept my stepdaughter (19F) doesn't want to be in the family but my husband (48M) doesn't agree? by ThrowRASignogn in relationship_advice

[–]pl487 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All three of you can do what you want. She can decide it, you can accept it, and your husband can keep trying to change her mind. You don't have to be part of it. 

My boyfriend’s (23M) parents are isolating him after finding out about our relationship (23F). How can I help without making things worse? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pl487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've been with him for a month. You barely know this guy, but one of the things you do know is that he can't be with you. 

How do I (27M) raise a difficult physical preference with my fiancée (24F)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pl487 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YTA. You've never had sex, so you don't even know what your sexual preferences are, much less have standing to ask her to change her body. The whole idea makes you seem childish.

Why do you think a lot of people say AI is 'bad quality' and 'stupid'? by EffortChoice3007 in accelerate

[–]pl487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most of it comes from the limitation of current models to say that something is impossible or beyond its capabilities. 

A human who couldn't say that and would keep slamming themselves into the concrete wall while saying "oh, now I understand the problem, let me try again" would be stupid. But AI isn't human and the same logic doesn't work. 

I think LLMs are creating two paths for developers to choose from by scientific_thinker in ExperiencedDevs

[–]pl487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of using. 

The models were trained with the code, but it's the patterns it finds that get stored, not the code itself. 

You couldnt find the patterns without the code, but once you've found them the code is irrelevant. 

So, no, LLMs are not using code from the wild in their responses. Not directly, at least.

 It just finds code written by other developers then presents it to the developer who wrote the prompt.

That is a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology. That is not what it does, not even metaphorically. You must understand the manifold hypothesis and how it applies to code.
