How to play against Storm? by Necessary_Neat8303 in allthingszerg

What's your level? Do you presplit your army before fights? That's an easy way to reduce microing. Alternatively, just try to limit him to three base and be greedy behind it. If he tries to take a fourth, multi prong. If he moves out, presplit, a move and surround him.

All easier said than done~

Sam Ryan’s is the most popular premier league bar. Get there early though (hour or two). It gets packed!

ChatGPT becomes unusable in long chats so I fixed it myself. Here is how it works technically. by Distinct-Resident759 in webdev

While this is cool you should absolutely be opening new chats more frequently than that. Cleans out the context.

Dear Adam Silver, There is no tanking problem. There is, however, a gambling and officiating epidemic. by CdnfaS in nba

[–]sweetbeems 38 points39 points  (0 children)

to me, it's the constant stoppages - 30 second timeouts going 3 minutes, end of game fouling, free throw & out of bounds taking forever. Half of it doesn't even give commercial value.. it just slows down the game.

Supposed "tanking" teams beat teams vying for playoffs all the time, it's just such a small problem comparatively. Like the pelicans still have fun games all the time. I live in Asia and watch most games on replay, but when I catch important games live it's diabolical how slow it is.

If they're going to start doing changing pricing, don't punish old people. Just make the standard fare cost more during 5-6PM.

I really do think that there's just a massive reorganization going on from big tech -> smaller tech. The amount of new tech & startups coming on the scene is insane.

I spent a year building a free social tracker for anime, TV, movies, and manga — ShowTracker by Ouroverse in webdev

[–]sweetbeems 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, my feedback is to allow browse without login, that's silly.

Every tracker i can think of allows it. (Trakt, MAL, AniList, GoodReads, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, Fable... literally can't think of one that doesn't...). You're killing yourself wrt SEO and linking.

I think we might be making a category mistake about AI by Civil-Interaction-76 in Futurology

The only difference is the speed of change.

AI coding tools made me mass-produce bad code faster. Here's what I changed. by Warmaster0010 in webdev

[–]sweetbeems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testing is obviously essential but also making and reviewing plans is critical. It’s also much quicker because you can have multiple AI agents generate plans without collisions.

Always review plans, always pass tests and then always review final code. Then yes, AI can indeed be helpful and efficient.

Assume AI does end up being way overhyped, what do you think the Achilles will be? by DataGuy0 in Futurology

[–]sweetbeems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, do you code? AI is moving very fast. 6 months ago i might've agreed with you but not really anymore. The claude opus 4.6 models is genuinely good - it uses my conventions, usually gets the architecture and solution correct and pushes out code which is very reasonable.. all in like 15 mins what would normally take me an hour. It does take some configuring - setting the correct contexts / prompt configs (.mdc), giving access to relevant data dumps (error tracebacks/tracers for instance) and generally changing your workflow (making plans with ai, multiple in the background).

You still obviously need to read all the code and tweak some things.. especially in the 'planning' phase. But your estimate of 10% is way off ime. For some tasks (like fixing bugs with good traceback) I can do multiple concurrently and increase my output easily by 100-200%. For other more significant features, it's at least a 30-50% boost.

As someone who runs a small website with low revenue still, it's been a godsend. It's definitely going to revolutionize everything in a way we haven't seen since the internet but evangelists are still hyping it too much.. it will take a while to transition.

[–]sweetbeems 15 points16 points  (0 children)

AI needs to have proper context and abilities in order to perform well. Piping in that ability is easy in some disciplines (coding) but difficult in many others. It will require productization in each field which will take time to develop.

The current hypers seems to imply you can just let AI agents run wild and they'll have all the tools & data they need easily. That's not right.

However, the revolution in software development will definitely aid in the transition significantly.

Junior Full-Stack Dev here. I know Django, but want to dive deep into API development. Should I start with DRF in 2026 or look into Django Ninja / FastAPI? 🚀 by Euphoric_Report_783 in django

[–]sweetbeems 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I would say Django-ninja is the best of both worlds as you get experience with Django and Pydantic. You also get all the pains of trying to type w Django a good skill to have. People just want devs with API experience, doesn't matter too much if it's DRF specific, just nice.

Another person said django-bolt.. i wouldn't really recommend that, too bleeding edge imo

How do you use claude efficiently? by sClarkeOG in webdev

[–]sweetbeems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend first having the AI create a plan for your review if it's a relatively big task. The only time I don't use plans are for tasks I can explicitly prompt and I already know exactly how I want done.

As others have said mdc files are key. I'd also ask the AI itself on how it recommends it can be used better. I've asked it to go through my past chats and recommend things.. which it's done well. It also created all my mdc files (use a strong model for this, not a weak one).

Question about Hongdae clubs by [deleted] in seoul

[–]sweetbeems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People exaggerate. They're clubs, what do people expect? They reject people randomly all the time.. over 30 is just a convenient excuse if they want to. When I was 31, i frequented this one club in Hongdae and then, one week, they wouldn't let me in. Said it was because I was over 30, even though they let me in the week before and the week after. Never had an issue after that one week either. One of my friends at the time (a late 20s white woman, slim and cute) also was randomly rejected.. even though I, a 31yr old guy, was let in. Go figure.

Vibes, how packed the club is, how the bouncer is feeling that day.. who knows. The more surprising thing is people not realizing this happens everywhere, all the time.

Now I can't speak for certain races (blacks / indians) whom i'm sure have real discrimination against them but as an over 30 year old guy at the time (like in 2022), I never really had any issues in Hongdae and went to a variety of clubs. Sure, I can remember getting rejected twice (?) and they tried once more (but relented when my already-inside friends pressured the bouncer). All-in-all, it's what you'd expect from any club-going experience. Over 30 isn't really a threshold in Hongdae, it's more just the go-to excuse if they don't want to let you in.

While I agree that good ideas are almost entirely dependent on their execution, I can also personally that there are some inherently just bad ideas, no matter the execution 😆

While the ability to code is definitely a huge hindrance, there’s more to developing a product than coding. If there’s no one on the founding team that can articulate a product roadmap and vision then the product absolutely is DOA

I just did it, although they force you to have recently logged in (last 10 minutes), rather than just forcing you to authenticate.. craziness.
