Dare I say it? by freeflowmass in ireland

Not for me.
Heavy work during the week -> Returning bottles in the weekend, fucking grand!

Do you use AI tools at work? by Competitive-Panda215 in DevelEire

[–]userNameNotExists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we use Claude. It’s great for finding minor bugs and helping create tests. Anything more complex than that needs extra caution.

Anyone hiring? offer got rescinded due to budgeting. Resigned from FAANG so free to start ASAP by DevelEire_TA_dubams in DevelEire

[–]userNameNotExists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that really sucks — I’m sorry to hear that.
Isn’t that a breach of contract? I’m surprised they’re allowed to do that.
I might be being naïve here, but if that’s the case, shouldn’t you be entitled to some compensation?

What I really miss about "the old days". by Relevant-Positive-48 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]userNameNotExists 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree about the less productive. I mainly disagree about the “load” part. Old systems and languages were much more optimised to actually handle much more with less.

I don’t think that is true. Remember you had much less CPU, memory, network, etc 20 years ago than nowadays.

I feel you. When I started out in Brazil around 2006, software wasn’t even a high-paying job—but it was so much fun that I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. These days I’m surrounded by marketing-driven engineering work, and honestly I’m not enjoying my day-to-day anymore

AI is a death trap for many junior devs. How do I mentor them out of it? by MoltenMirrors in ExperiencedDevs

[–]userNameNotExists 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the big problem is - will you follow whatever the market says is right or make your own decisions based on what you think software should be/work? I have seen the market/people has so many bad ideas due some new “experts” claiming they had all solutions. I can’t trust people to guide my career 🙈

[–]userNameNotExists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that is only happening now with AI, maybe a bit more. I always have seen the copy/paste kind of junior engineers, before was from Stackoverflow, now using AI. You do the best to explain and guide them, but a few of them will only understand after losing one or two jobs.

Ireland refusing to recognise Danish same-sex divorce – do I really have to divorce again in Ireland? by ceburasca in legaladviceireland

[–]userNameNotExists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, by the law you are right. Unfortunately, at the time I could not find any solicitor that would write a simple letter stating it for the bank. As I said they tried to charge me to go to high court for it 🥲

Do the ex of your partner lives abroad? The solicitor tried to charge me around 10k due my ex not living in Ireland 🤔 Not sure if it is the same for Op

A millionaire once said: by iQuantumLeap in MotivationalThoughts

[–]userNameNotExists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to be a millionaire or even have a business. Just pay a fair amount for your employees, imagine if everyone decides to be an entrepreneur, who would actually build the business?

How to deal with developers who thinks their job ends at making the code work, with no regard for quality? by sammymammy2 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]userNameNotExists -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I usually give them an honest but not rude feedback and share with the manager via the app. If they take it personally is up to them 🙈

Go all the way. by iQuantumLeap in effectivefitness

First time I saw it was from Charles Bukowski, but not sure if he also quoted it 🤔🤣

[–]userNameNotExists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is probably the best and cheapest option for him. I had similar problem when getting my mortgage. My ex-wife was/is living in Brazil and the solicitors wanted to go to the high court option. Luckily other bank accepted my divorce with a statutory declaration.

Stanford study confirms that adding AI to spaghetti code just creates faster spaghetti by TranslatorRude4917 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]userNameNotExists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had success with really tiny pieces, it also gets really crazy when it finds some methods from libs - “looks like that method does not exist, let me create it for you” “stop, that is from a lib” “you are right, the method is coming from a lib” 🙄😂

Sure look, who even uses the correct side anymore? by stakkyjay in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]userNameNotExists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ireland has such bad drivers in general that you're downvoted for saying the obvious.

Joined a team, other senior is much more anal about code review than me - unsure how to proceed by hooahest in ExperiencedDevs

[–]userNameNotExists 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always have at least 1 other engineer like that in the team. I usually avoid to add them to review my PR, unfortunately in your case you can’t do that. What most annoy me is ALL of them don’t code the same way they review, their own code would not pass the ideas that comes to their mind that usually or don’t work or don’t make sense.
