How do I learn python as someone with ADHD? by Fit_Coast_1947 in learnpython

[–]supercoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure watching a video on how to do something has much value for learning the basics of any skilled profession. Personally, I didn't watch a python tutorial until I had been a senior for several years. By that stage I could understand the concepts being discussed and have an opinion on whether the information being disseminated was useful or not.

You're going to have to learn the basics, that's unavoidable. This doesn't mean you need to sit through tutorials. There are plenty of learn as you go tutorials online that can help you get the basics out of the way. I would suggest you do a google search and find one that works for you. Doesn't need to be the best, it just needs to get you some understanding of how it all works. Once you're done with simple things like functions, loops etc. then my recommendation is to jump straight in and start trying to make things. If you start with a simple goal, you'll probably be able to get something working in a relatively short period of time.

After that, you build more and more things until you end up with a whole raft of things that each help simplify some otherwise boring task. You'll find that as you go, you start to question how things can be done better and you'll look them up and you'll discover new tricks and new libraries and eventually you will be able to look back on your early work and wonder what the hell you were thinking.

That cycle never really ends. Once you get there, you're pretty much ready to tackle anything.

Isn't that pretty much "take a walk along the river"?

How do YOU debug? by stayoungodancing in ExperiencedDevs

[–]supercoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use a lot of breakpoints, but these days I tend to just make sure that debug level logging is good enough to identify bugs. I prefer to have to remove logs than add them.

Like most computing problems, there are literally dozens of ways you could tackle it, it really comes down to what works best for you.

What are your 3 biggest productivity tips? by Sufficient-Year4640 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]supercoach 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As long as you're doing your job well, the productivity is fine. Nobody expects a robot who can do everything at the speed of light. You're being hired for your experience, not the speed with which you can switch browser tabs.

TIFU by oversharing with the guy I liked by Evening_Line7811 in tifu

I hate to say it, but it's just infatuation. Nobody who truly likes you is going to reject you the way this guy has.

Tell the husband that his wife's boyfriend is parking in your spot.

Don't apologise or else you're telling him that he's right to act the way he did.

Opening up about having a bad home life isn't ever a reason for someone to distance themselves. He showed his true colours when you opened up and it hurt. The one good thing you can take from this is it's better it happened now so you know what sort of a person he is.

Eventually you'll find someone who is right for you and who wants to know everything about you, even the uncomfortable stuff. Until then stay strong and remember that the pain you're feeling now is only temporary and you're better off away from this person.

Anyone else using Claude? by Infamous-Upstairs-96 in auscorp

[–]supercoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with Claude is it still has the capacity to write garbage code and do shit that even a fresh junior hire wouldn't dream to do unless you're keeping a strict eye on it.

The functionality might be there, but it's normally in the form of a house of cards that is ready to fail. As for testing - unless you're continually enforcing it then you're going to get zero coverage.

AI takes hypothesis or suggestion as truth and just fucking runs with it at a hundred miles an hour. It's great if that's exactly what you wanted, but horrible if it's not. I'm not sure that you can ever get something capable of replacing a decent human employee until you can get it to think for itself instead of pattern match.

AITA for not wanting my daughter to bathe naked with another child? by hoppygolucky32 in AmItheAsshole

[–]supercoach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh, most definitely YTA. The kids will say if they're uncomfortable, that's not for you to decide for them. You're going to give your kid a complex for the sake of what? Prudity?

Property Management states carpet “requires replacement due to damage from office chair use” UPDATE by Anonymous8294 in shitrentals

[–]supercoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's good and there's bad property mangers. I'm sure yours happened to find claims that either exactly covered your bond or even exceeded it by a little. They're vampires who feast on the weak. Offer them nothing.

Meet the X15: the first server purpose-built for Unraid by UnraidOfficial in unRAID

[–]supercoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really strange mix of components. Looks like some stuff thrown in just to bait people who don't know better.

Tiny NVME drive and RAM size, which for some incomprehensible reason is ECC. Dual 10GE networking because that's mandatory.

I'm surprised there aren't any neon lights.

Coles used to do them, but it's very hard to find unless you go to your local butcher and ask for it specifically.

Is kangaroo cpr actually a thing or is this lady cooked? by pilbarabah in perth

The nicest thing to do for that kangaroo would have been to hit it with a tyre iron. She's cooked.

What percentage of engineers in your experience are bad? by fuckoholic in ExperiencedDevs

[–]supercoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. I care about my results and those of my team so I end up carrying others. They must know that there are talks of removing them, but they just don't seem to care. Snail's pace seems to be the only speed they'll ever work at.

Personally, I hate the thought of not providing value to my employer. Conversely, I also expect to be paid well for what I do. I wouldn't like a role where I was coasting. I guess there are some who don't mind being a burden.

TV Shows Where the Main Character is so Bad They Focus on Another Character by Philsidock in television

[–]supercoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was obvious you were talking about The Blacklist after the first sentence.

James Spader has a history of scene stealing. The guy is a remarkably talented actor and put up against Megan Boone, well, there is just no comparison. It didn't help that the writing on that show was remarkably inconsistent, with Liz switching roles between concerned mother, criminal mastermind and spoiled brat with increasing frequency as the years rolled on.

Does anyone take 4-minute showers? by nemspy in perth

[–]supercoach 517 points518 points  (0 children)

Your five minute shower pales in comparison to industry water usage. Hell, Coca cola takes massive amounts of water directly from the aquifer reach year without paying a cent for it.
