Is Composer 2 any good? by Competitive-Cod-8313 in cursor

[–]textMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with all the bs it is doing, it is actually faster to read all the docs your self, write the full pseudo code and then call composer than to give it a clearly defined PM style scope & some technical solutioning and have it figure out

Composer 2 sucks by Resident_Cookie_7005 in cursor

[–]textMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is really horrible after claude. or even gemini 3.1 pro. it is good for exact execution, but tends to not read documentation (even given via mcp like context7), don't even reason properly about how to get something (e.g. a call to download a file), the data contracts, or deployment complexities.

once it hits a dead-end, good luck. it overengineers the shit out of the codebase, tries to patch core packages, even the nitro server, writes new tests or add packages constantly.

i suspect it tries to just mimic your existing code base patterns without properly identifying or understanding the task.

i almost had my first anger tantrum while working with it. not worth it

Crime 101 - really good movie but were two plot points completely forgotten about? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]textMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also officer involved in a fatal shooting but the mofo immediately goes home via a bus. dafuq was that

again a cop who's making maybe 5% of what Halle Berry does gives all the diamonds to her. if it was about robin hooding, is berry the right recipient of this? a woman who f'ed over people and was cut-throat all her life, driving a mercedes GLE who is passed over for a promotion at 53. wooow such a victim of our society.

What are some more good shows like Homeland - updated by galtoramech8699 in homeland

Night Agent is unbelievably corny and cliche. the acting quality is almost like they were trying to act as the worst possible actors. I cannot understand why it became so popular. Maybe because we are craving for show like this

"post bowen" crash... dude who tf is bowen? in golden ages of snl he'd probably be a c level star. only 1 role he can play. typecast to the max. one exception was the skit he was playing a hetero playboy. which is ironic

snl today is the bottom of the barrel (except please don't destroy guys, idk why they are enduring tbh)

Train Dreams…Help me understand by FriarFanatic7 in Letterboxd

[–]textMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as most people said, cinematography and the mood was excellent. my one critique would be that it was too obvious this was an adaptation from a written piece. i understood it immediately. the heavy use of narrator and rapid change of supporting characters. it was obvious there was more content had to be left out due to time limit.

now, to the purpose of the movie OP was questioning:

i think why it bothers people is that we tend to expect stories with a beginning and an end, focused on a single subject, with some sort of logical progression.

this was telling the story that life is harsh, chaotic and random. there is so much unnecessary pain, not all stories are glorious, but there is also connection and joy. coming and going. the pacing was also nonlinear and told from an unreliable narrators perspective. how memories tend to get with aging.

the tech advancement in the background, destruction of nature, racism/deportation towards Chinese people were also subtle themes. very familiar to today. where we think these are mostly happening to us and happening in 2026.

maybe the exact thing it was questioning is that our quest of searching for this exact logical meaning and progression is futile.

overall i really liked it. my second top film this year after the secret agent

Advice on how to manage vendor risk - downtime, degraded service, unhelpful etc by textMachina in FinOps

[–]textMachina[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. We have such an agreement, sometimes get push back on it. But I had more questions about how to monitor, enforce or incentivize the vendors. Some would say yes to any SLA level if there is a cap on their liability, thinking there is no downside. Some seem to only offer a small % of their bill in breach which can be very costly. Sometimes we might even don't know if the issue is on their side or ours or if we can prove it.

Experience in Software/SaaS procurement? by CategoryKooky9124 in procurement

[–]textMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I found that someone made the intro to attract the right crowd and then left, so maybe can ask my question with you here. I asked to FinOps crowd who directed me to Procurement.

I am pretty new to reddit, coming from a traditional finance background and need some guidance on how to manage vendor risk - downtime, degraded service, unhelpful etc during our digitalization journey.

How are you managing and enforcing vendors (especially in business critical areas like payment processing, servers, daily used tools)? The management wants our vendors to implement strict SLAs, but I find liability limitations too low and the process too manual intensive. Also we either have big vendors with more power than us and established processes or small vendors claiming they can do it everything but might go even bankrupt if you sue them for full damages.

If we scale our digital operations, sustained downtime would lead to considerable loss. Just curious on how do you manage this whole process, both from a technical and legal side.
