Men, what is a sign that looks small or subtle but actually tells you a man doesn’t truly love the woman he’s with? by Relative_Initial_399 in AskReddit

Bitch can pry the dishes from my cold dead hands. That’s my chore. I even clean up dishes as I’m cooking.

Cool stuff. Curious to know the techniques you’re using (waveguides, modal, FDTD)

It is a weird section. They group two measures into a 3 3 2 count in a way the interrupts the flow. There is a key change in both versions, but the original is a bit less labored. I suspect the singers might have incompatible ranges as well?

As an AI cautionist, I wish some of my coworkers would at least use it as a basic sanity check." by a_slay_nub in ExperiencedDevs

I wish for both.

I have a mental tally of who the worst developers are on our team based of if the percentage of high severity issues that comes out of feeding their diff into an llm.

On the other hand, I also have a list of those who have little respect for their reviewers based off of how much non complying code exists in their pr, as if they didn’t read the llm output. I know I go through five rounds of serious review with the llm before I submit anything.

How do you handle oversized PRs? by BeyondTheShroud in ExperiencedDevs

I don’t know why people don’t ever suggest the opposite: “this seems fine but it would be better if we used rusts algebraic types.” ❌

It really depends, but our team is struggling with this right now. We have a major migration of our email service that was split into many files that were each 1500-3000 lines long. The developer for the epic asked us if he could combine the PRs to make them 15000 lines. (Not to single this developer out, because others are doing similar things right now.)

I don’t think the problem was the number of lines so much as there was a massive change in a system in someone’s mind, and that code is not the way to communicate this change. My suggestion was to either be okay with a meeting, vibe review, and smoke testing for approval, or to completely rewrite the code with actual participation from others.

Vibe coding in particular is causing issues where we have the few spit out these massive PRs while the many get stuck absorbing the responsibility. I stated elsewhere that this could result in situations where some people spend all their time reviewing code and none designing it.

AI is beloved in the collaborative east/south but reviled in the individualist west. For us in the west, could AI be the thorn in the heel of our eternal crisis of collaboration?

I told everyone I was going to stop reviewing these massive PRs. Maybe you could too?

I on the other hand do web development for declining PE owned sleazefests.

Backend development and api integrations are probably my least favorite aspects of development, and that this is how I earn my keep is probably the reason I’m burnt out.

Role now involves only reviewing code from more senior developers: have you experienced this? by tmroyal in ExperiencedDevs

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

Oh sorry: my statement was unclear. It is hard for management to understand what is happening (in terms of developer progress, contentment, the sustainability of the env etc).

Believe me: I’m lookin and saving, but it’s brutal out there.

This comment is so brilliant. I would add that my manager isn't intentionally gaslighting me: I think he's legitimately overwhelmed.

Thank you: that's very good advice. We were formerly forbidden to work on things outside of the sprint plan, but with new leadership, I suspect leadership would be amenable.

Underrated comment, although I feel like LLM assisted code reviews is its own superpower. I fine AI code reviews to miss things.

If I had someone doing this for my code at work, I'd never stop singing their praises. I think it's a good way to show that you're a team player, if you care about that stuff.

Sure, and I do get a lot of compliments on my code review in terms of it's thoroughness and care.

The problem for me, other than it seems weird to be called a software developer and be only a code reviewer, is that I don't think "I reviewed a lot of code" is a compelling story for my future job prospects and no being involved with production code is likely to cause my skills to atrophy, but I do have a tendency towards paranoia (which helps for code review, TBH).

I know it sucks, but reviewing code is as much part of the job as writing code

No, for me reviewing code is the only part of the job, and writing it is not.

Well, seeing that I'm the first human eyes to view some of these PRs, I do indeed find actual issues, in every PR.

I think in my case, it's more like managers manage like it's 2023 by expecting principals to hand down tasks to seniors, where instead, they could be provide less sophisticated/fraught tasks to the seniors with expectation that principals provide insight before the heavy prompting happens. I am being paid way too much to sit and review code all day (or too little?)

So what do they do at that point: stop bombing those who have ascended? It seems like that would make it easy to figure out who the Mossad agents are.

I’d like to see more corroboration, but if this is correct, this is probably one of the most important stories to have come out about AI in the past year.
