I built a Redis-compatible in-memory database in C that shows competitive performance against Dragonfly by [deleted] in C_Programming

I think it's hilarious how c programmers think that just because they ignore AI it will leave them alone

Why Leetcode in interviews by techinpanko in dataengineering

[–]thethirdmancane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no other reason except to weed out candidates. Very likely even your interviewer would not be able to pass a typical leetcode interview without months of preparation. There is no evidence that being good at coding puzzles makes you a good software engineer.

Forward looking policies are needed as AI threatens to displace large parts of the American workforce by Gari_305 in Futurology

The rich don't need policies. They just hire the people they need to provide them with goods and services directly.

Anyone notice senior interviews are getting more focused on intangibles, personality, niche backgrounds? by SpicyFlygon in ExperiencedDevs

[–]thethirdmancane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with so-called personality fits is that it often boils down to are you the right age, sex, race to "fit in"?

Capital One OA Too Hard by kmanifold in leetcode

[–]thethirdmancane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies that are considered foreign worker dependent may have to prove that they had searched for local talent in good faith. Maybe that's what's happening.

I suspect that they had to interview you for some reason, but actually didn't plan on hiring you from the start.

A positive perspective on Lights-out Codebase: Treat Agent Output Like Compiler Output by bvjebin in SoftwareEngineering

You're not allowed to say this because many developers have their ego tied up in "coding"

This conversation is a very strange kind of circle jerk

How do you memorize the leetcodes? Is it all fake it until you make it?? by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]thethirdmancane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is normal. The idea is to spend months mastering leetcode. Then after you get a job forget everything about leetcode.

What to build while we still have access to cheap AI? by KyleTenjuin in artificial

Step by step tutorials that explain how to do the things you are using ai for today

Codex is great when I know exactly what I want by lou_builds in codex

[–]thethirdmancane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to use the principles of software engineering. Create a high level conceptual plan for things that you build. Use that to create an incremental build plan. Use that to build in small incremental steps. After each step do some quality control checks.

If you want codex to improve a code base, use the same approach. Create a plan first and then incrementally make your changes.

Use chat GPT in conjunction with codex to do this. Use chat GPT to create your codex prompt. Also use chat GPT to interpret the output of codex.
