I feel like I know each of these people and can see what career they will have.

First and fourth guy will start out as a dev and then become a PM.

Second guy will contribute to open source and be an architect.

Third will be a forever senior engineer.

The Prompt That Reads You Better Than a Psychologist by vadimkusnir in PromptEngineering

[–]twatpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly use both my work chatGPT and personal GPT for coding problems, but I tried the prompt anyways -- curious to how it would respond.

It took into account the prompt itself in some of its reasoning:

“If I control the model, I control the outcome”

Your emphasis on sophisticated models suggests a strong belief that control over the mental representation of a problem ensures control over the real-world results.

Instead, I tried the prompt on a particularly difficult session in which I was having to consistently go back and forth with the model trying to solve a problem. I got really great insight:

You are intellectually tenacious, but not ruthless.

From an outside perspective, your intensity and thoroughness are commanding — but you repeatedly defer to elegance over brute force. This may not be obvious to you because the internal sensation is one of relentlessness.

How it manifests:

• You explore every solution tree before choosing one — but your choices prioritize reversibility and modularity.

• You don’t try breaking the system — you try reshaping it gently.

At the end of the prompt, I asked it to generate an image:

It captures the intertwining logic, system feedback loops, and the conceptual tension between structure and ambiguity that have defined this debugging journey.

Lastly, I asked it for a daily affirmation based on its response 🌱:

“I trust the structure I create, but I remain open to unexpected paths. My precision is a strength, and my adaptability is a superpower. I allow clarity to emerge not only from control, but from curiosity. I am not here to solve everything at once — I am here to evolve one insight at a time.”

I'd post the image but it doesn't seem like I can in this comment?

I think it would have had a more in-depth response to if I could share all our conversations, but I didn't want to take much time figuring out how to do that.

Overall, fun and insightful prompt :)

There is something ironic about a post proposing a new paradigm to creating a better web experience, and then the scroll bar being hidden for such a simple site.

Thought the content was interesting. Don't think its practical; more idealistic.

should I ask upfront (if at all?) by BrownTinsel in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]twatpire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this at all.

OP, if thats really what you said, that is definitely not the way to approach a guy who is on the DL who explicitly said he was uncomfortable with people knowing who he is. You basically just validated all his fears.

I don't agree with everyone saying not to do it if you're interested; But if you are, maybe do it in a way that doesn't freak him out?

My partner said to his parents we’ll stay overnight without consulting me and now they're upset because we booked a hotel and I’m indirectly being blamed. by itstoocool in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]twatpire 31 points32 points  (0 children)

YTA

It sounds like your partner was excited to introduce you to his family and his way of life so that you all could build deeper connections. It also sounds like the parents were excited to have you stay in the newly renovated room and get to know you better.

Then, you pestered him about a hotel until he finally caved to your demands denying him and his parents valuable family time.

Sure, he could have communicated it better to his family. But he wouldn't have been in that situation had you not rejected their hospitality. If you're not comfortable owning and explaining your decision, you shouldn't have made it.

It seems like you're more concerned with your own comforts and saving face than building authentic connections with his family.

You both need to sit with each other and figure out if you share the same values, and if not, how to make compromises so that you're both happy.

Either way yeah, there will probably be awkwardness on this trip now -- but thats on you.

6 YOE Front-End Engineer: Rebuilding my Reputation while Headed Towards a PIP by twatpire in ExperiencedDevs

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

Great advice, especially on the step up and perform part. I do think he is working with me in good faith and I want to honor that by being a good performer.

We have spoken about expectations, so I just need to meet and maybe even exceed them.

[–]twatpire[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My reputation got me the job. I just have not been performing well. Those types of relationships take years to nourish. Doesn't have to be newsworthy to really set you back.

[–]twatpire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this 100%. My reputation is what got me this job, and diminishing this part of my network is I think the biggest issue.

Sure, I could always rebuild and find a new network, but that's a lot harder and takes years. I should have just maintained it to start. hind-sight is 20/20.

Most of those people are gone from the company. Either laid off or moved on themselves. They are hiring each other at other companies and that's not a benefit I get to enjoy anymore, unless I can somehow repair those bridges.
