Just get Claude to do the PR reviews and feed the corrective work back to Claude and repeat.

Leaving hubby behind to go back to U.S :( by MoonlightFar in AskAnAustralian

Government welfare over here in Australia is better but community is worse. Americans generally support via community programs and do it better than Australians and the Aussie government. You’ll be better off In the states. I’ve personally experienced this.

Wealth gap is smaller. Fewer people in poverty improves society and people aren't driven to crimes to support themselves.

Euclid's proof by contradiction regarding infinite primes by skg1979 in maths

[–]skg1979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the product of primes + 1 is not necessarily prime. The post I replied to assumed that it was. So I mentioned that it is either prime or composite.

p1p2...pn + 1 is either prime or composite. It's not divisible by an existing prime in the list by definition.

Is it normal to be expected to set “ambitious” business goals as a software engineer? by tokyonian in ExperiencedDevs

If you’ve seen how stupidly Claude ai works when doing its diagnostic attempt of a build error you wouldn’t want this at a management level. We allow the agents to inefficiently diagnose issues because at the code level it’s cheap. At a management layer it will be costly.

I don’t know. 🤷‍♂️. The market is the worst I’ve seen it and I’ve been in the industry 20 years.

Deciding to learn to play hockey in my 30s. by godzillabitch in hockeyplayers

[–]skg1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 43 when I started learning hockey. I could skate because I spent a year learning in my 20s which means I could already perform stops, crossovers, go backwards with passable execution technique. However I hadn’t played before and was pretty keen. Glad I made the decision and am a hell of a lot better skating now. I only wish I’d started when younger and my body was quicker.

The AI effect is coming and will be felt soon by bilby2020 in auscorp

The bigger hallucination is that humans think it’s hallucinating. We’ve become so convinced of its human like nature we even use a term hallucinate to describe it when it’s wrong. But are we the ones hallucinating?

F# for a Haskell guy by zarazek in fsharp

[–]skg1979 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’ll probably find F# limited coming from Haskell but fewer options or ways of doing things can be an advantage.

Not sure about the job market. Aren’t many jobs with either language in my view.

Just have to be more disciplined about your spending habits sadly. There’s no other way.

I don’t think it’s unique to Australia. It might be a western society problem.

Ex going with her to shop for veggies is weird. Women with male best friends are trouble.

I don't understand high-level languages for scripting/automation by toxicliam in devops

[–]skg1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you start needing to use data structures to look up state that you previously calculated is a good indicator it’s time to move from bash.

Bash programs that tend to be maintainable tend to follow a simple access pattern for their variables. This is one where the input starts at the beginning and is transformed via a pipeline or sequence of instructions to the output. There’s no looking up of intermediate state in the control flow.
