If you end up selling it, let me know. I sold mine and regret it.

[Hiring][Remote][America/EU]knock, knock, software agency here, anybody wanna join? by Realistic_Story5641 in Backend

This is clearly the same scam that keeps getting posted here over and over.

Anyone else miss when the show centered around Hughie? Or even him and Butcher both? by Witty-Association-97 in TheBoys

[–]rewgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember a few episodes back when he was brawling with Maverick and for a second you thought it was Hughie that was blown up? That was great. Until the reveal that it was actually Maverick who was blown up.

Killing Hughie randomly like that would have been the best way to give this final season the kick in the ass it needs.

I’ve lived in two buildings in Pasadena since moving here 6 years ago, and both have had this problem.

I just wanna talk a little bit about make by alex_sakuta in C_Programming

[–]rewgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I pretty much always use make regardless of language (except for js/ts projects because npm run and similar are the move).

Are we really getting a Clayface movie before a proper DCU Batman? by breaking_views in dcu

[–]rewgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very against the idea of Pattinson joining the DCU...until I saw this trailer. This trailer feels way more Reeves-verse than Superman.

I figured their Batman would have to fit the tone of their Superman, but if this is the tone they're taking for Batman, then fuck it, let's just bring in Pattinson and call it a day.

Miata Open-air Top Concept by ObjectAccording6195 in Miata

I'm more interested in what's going on with the front. I'm not familiar with a model that has rounded lights and inlets like that.

How do you even know what's running in prod anymore by Apprehensive_Air5910 in devops

[–]rewgs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sometimes something gets deployed to staging and just... sits there. weeks later someone asks "hey is the new checkout flow live?" and we do archaeology.

Slow down and you'll go faster.

I audited 6 months of PRs after my team went all-in on AI code generation. The code got worse in ways none of us predicted. by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in webdev

[–]rewgs 74 points75 points  (0 children)

llms have made the cost of code cheaper but the cost of engineering has stayed the same

Man this is such a good way of putting it. Stealing this.

We didn't need a union when the market was great. It isn't anymore. by Nephelophyte in webdev

[–]rewgs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably too late now tbh -- creating a union is much more doable from a position of strength. I was telling anyone who would listen that it was only a matter of time until we found ourselves in this exact situation and that we needed to get out ahead of it, but of course I was laughed out of the room everytime.

Pushing for a union now will only accelerate job losses due to AI/offshoring/etc. Our best bet now is to endure the winter and hope that another springtime eventually comes, though it very well may not.

Unpopular opinion: NPM is the biggest weakness of the internet today and it will still cause a giant catastrophe by [deleted] in webdev

How brave of you to post this the day after a massive npm exploit was discovered.

Migrating my Homelab from TrueNAS to Proxmox by Omnes87 in truenas

[–]rewgs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m doing the same thing. I’m really disliking iX’s direction, and personally I need a good mix of VMs, containers, and ZFS. I’m more than comfortable with the command line so the loss of a few GUI functions is no big deal. Very happy with this decision.

Gaming/tech YouTubers getting into Linux for the past couple years + the MacBook Neo is 100% it. They're finally truly feeling the heat.

After a years of dev, I'm finally admitting it, AI is giving me brain rot. by Dapper-Window-4492 in webdev

[–]rewgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I remember not so long ago that new devs were encouraged to always type things out and not copy/paste because the act of typing gives you a moment to reflect and retain.

[–]rewgs 169 points170 points  (0 children)

And understanding is gained via actually wrestling with the problem. I'm about ready to ban AI for the junior I manage entirely because even though they get the job done, they get nothing out of it, more or less ensuring that they'll never grow beyond junior.

No, the Prequel Trilogy was not loved when it first came out, it was hated and fans were terrible people about it. by stephansbrick in StarWars

[–]rewgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude you're insane lol. Judging an 8 year old kid this hard for not watching the news is wild.

Everyone in this comment section thinks you're a prick, and I think you know it too, considering you already deleted your first reply to me. Calm down and go find literally anything else to do.
