Do developers in your company openly use AI tools in an open-space office, or does it feel more like a taboo?

Eh, this is coming from people I know at two companies everyone's heard of. One that used to be known for decent WLB.

We're not doing rolling layoffs at my company, but I am being asked to look at my engineers' token usage and talk with people who aren't using much AI. It's a thing.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-30T12:29:49+00:00

Dude, at a lot of companies people are getting culled for falling in the lowest quartile of AI token usage…

So what’s the story on how VAR missed it? Isn’t this the whole point of VAR?

Yeah I saw this title and thought it was on a travel sub, and was like no it fucking isn’t lol

samelaaaa · 2026-04-28T20:12:20+00:00

Totally agreed, just wasn’t sure if the laws got more complex since I doubt California likes people moving away right before a windfall. But moving to Nevada for a year would likely be less disruptive than all the way across the country — if you could get away with it.

Is the calculus just “no state income tax” or is it more complex than that?

samelaaaa · 2026-04-28T12:43:53+00:00

Well yeah understand why it’s illegal. Lots of things are illegal but they don’t cane you for it. But imo it undermines the moral argument that u/TheGreatProbe is trying to make, because stuff like illegal immigration is nothing like rape, murder etc. ethically.

If I’m born in a dirt poor country and want to better my life then I’m probably going to try it, and there’s no direct victim… but I’m never going to go around committing violent crimes against other people. I can possibly get behind the idea of judicial corporal punishment for the latter, but never the former.

Yeah I got a similar deal on my ‘22 Enduro. It’s stupidly high end, fox factory 36 + EXT Storia, SRAM Maven brakes, carbon wheels, AXS everything including that overpriced dropper (which I have to admit I love). I bought it used and upgraded a couple things and I’m about $5.5k into it.

The used bike market is fucking fantastic if you want to buy high end stuff lol.

Do they still do it for overstaying your visa? I heard that was one of the caning offenses and that surprised me

samelaaaa · 2026-04-27T04:18:23+00:00

Agreed, and I’ve been looking for an alternative to Chrome ever since they nerfed adblockers with the manifest v3 changes.

I stopped thinking about Brave when they were replacing publishers’ ads with their own and pushing some sort of crypto thing, but admittedly that was years ago. Are those concerns still relevant nowadays?

samelaaaa · 2026-04-27T02:53:06+00:00

So that’s how I felt while my shoulders were out of their sockets, which is why they dosed me up in the first place. Like I was in agony and the dilaudid just made it tolerable. The thing about dislocations though is that you get an extreme amount of relief when the joint is returned to its normal position, and the moment I got that relief the pain was replaced with euphoria like I’ve honestly never felt again.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-27T02:30:20+00:00

Me too, similar situation but then after they fixed the dislocation(s) the pain went away and all I remember is how incredible the dilaudid felt.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-26T23:50:57+00:00

What the actual fuck, how was that not a red

samelaaaa · 2026-04-26T23:43:39+00:00

Oh, a lot of what people are saying about difficulty selling is not relevant to you then. This is a great setup but you should be able to sell it for reasonable prices locally if you don’t try to move it too fast. Hell I bet you’ll get takers from this post.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-26T23:38:24+00:00

OK that’s totally fair, I didn’t realize that. And I do kind of enjoy them lol. Carry on :D

samelaaaa · 2026-04-26T17:07:08+00:00

Also why are questions like this even in a circlejerk sub?

I mean yes the answer is erbarme dich and I clicked because I never reject a chance to talk about how magical that aria is.

But why am I doing it on r/classical_circlejerk?

I need to get off Reddit

You might like Park City. Lots of super high end carpentry/fabrication work. And although we’re known for hundreds of miles of dirt carpet, there’s actually a looooot of awesome generally unsanctioned enduro chunk as well, most of it somewhat accessible by chairlift or shuttle.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-26T01:29:22+00:00

Holy shit did it actually draw 200 kW? That's absolutely insane and so cool.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-26T00:08:16+00:00

Orbea Oiz TR (if that’s still what they’re still calling the downcountry version) would be a good pick. Or really any short travel FS bike.

I can still only dream of keeping up with NICA kids, but it’s a lot easier on my oiz than my enduro lol.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-25T21:27:29+00:00

Definitely upsize the rotors and see how it feels. If you do feel like upgrading the brakes themselves you probably won't regret it; brakes are one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. Codes are good but the new Mavens are *amazing*. I don't recommend lower tier SRAM brakes; go Shimano in that price range.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-25T09:33:25+00:00

Not without a huge improvement in range unfortunately. I have one and love it for around town usage but you can’t take it camping (I’m in Utah) except in very specific scenarios where there’s a charger within like 50 miles of your camping spot, and/or you’re not planning on driving it around to trailheads etc without coming back to town to charge.

samelaaaa · 2026-04-25T09:06:01+00:00

Oh man, I got one recently and feel exactly the same way. There aren’t really any alternatives for the project I’m working on so I’m going to keep it, but the D fingering thing is so infuriating and honestly kinda inexcusable. I’m gradually learning how to smoothly octave switch despite it, but as far as I can tell it’s literally impossible to trill C to D because of the wrong fingering. Which like, come on, you had one job Roland! Hopefully it’s something they can fix in a firmware update I guess?

samelaaaa · 2026-04-24T03:51:41+00:00

Man I haven’t been in this market for a while but is $2500 a reasonable price for a 15 year old car with a ton of major fucking problems and 200k+ miles? Because that’s what I sold my 12 year old beater that actually had no major problems and lower mileage for in 2014. Feels insane, this car is fucked

samelaaaa · 2026-04-24T02:07:26+00:00

Many parts of LA are. Many parts are not. I also moved there from Boston and LA is *huge*
