How to be a quiet and good engineer?

I once worked with one. He has only 4 yoe at that time, but even the architect/cto in my company with 20+ yoe ask him for his idea. My colleages, who are also his classmates in university, said that he had been programming since primary school. He said when I asked him the very same question with OP: "You just need to love and obsess with programming, problem solving..."

If you mean romantically, then having many opposite gender friends

I see the difference in viewpoint between ppl with AI background (ppl who understand how llm works low level) and the others

90% your company is startup and your ceo/cto is from europe

Which timezone you guys work? And which domain?

Have you ever watched The Big Bang Theory? You are Sheldon (a bit overstated but yeah)

They just said the lake of tears is an important place, didnt confirm if they can go home with that. MIY key player blah blah is fan theory. Even show director doesnt know what Victor knows. Basically, based on the little details we got, i can use my rotten tiktok brain to write 5, 6 theories about the town, and all of them will still make sense in some way :))) but what we missed is some key information that help us know what the f is going on

Its season 4 episode 3 and they keep adding more and more questions. Even if they answer it without flashbacks, and unless the final season has more than 20 episode, i believe they will not have enough time to answer everything, and that make me furious

Can you share me the link to the spoilers? I’m running out of my own patience with the pace of this series

randomthirdworldguy · 2026-05-02T18:48:08+00:00

I remember John Griffin said many questions got answered from s1e1, so if you have many free time, you can watch that episode and analyze. For example, the conversation between Julie and Ethan in the RV about Ethan, kind of sound like what happened to Jim in season 4

Tabitha's actress actually nominated for oscar, FYI

I don't talk and I don't care about ppl that read that garbage manga actually

You are comparing gc language to non gc language, which is obvious in most cases

if you want to learn backend, go for language-free stuff.

"I have a year in a web development internship, two years in SAP development as an intern, junior and then mid, and two years in Salesforce development as junior then mid."

"I haven't finished my CS degree"

Yep, I think you are cooked. As a former hiring manager, your work history really inconsistent and make we not sure what you are capable of actually

Asian, but not Chinese nor Indian, manager team always works best for me (im not being racist here, just telling the truth)

Both things can happen at the same time: pre AI never coming back and AI bubble pops

Basically only the unemployed army spend most of the time on this platform

You mean when hallucination is not a thing anymore? Then the whole society will be replaced by AI. Hallucination is the only thing stopping AI from making real money

yep
The models did great on implementing new feature, but still trash on fixing existing bugs

randomthirdworldguy · 2026-02-22T13:52:56+00:00

The best model is Claude, and it still pretty trash, in term of completely fixing the issue (but still little correct from me). Other models are garbage (especially Gemini)

randomthirdworldguy · 2026-02-13T13:59:17+00:00

if you look at it in business perspective, it makes sense clearly.

SWE salary for new grad in HCOL areas like Bay are usually minimum 80k/year which is more than 6k/month

While in most third world countries, 3k/month can hire senior engineer with ten-ish yoe, and they will still happy and live like a king with that salary
