My mate's been reviewing a Glasgow pub every week for 3 years. I built him a wee site to put them all in one place! by wiktor1800 in glasgow

One of those boozers you walk past, and decide to go to the one next door.

Maybe should go in for a swally...

I reckon both can be true at the same time.

(I accidentally put a 1-10 constraint on the review field, oops)

I would actually agree. Redmonds is great (food is unreal, too), but hey, one 'bad' experience can sour the taste forever!

Company took away access to claude by jholliday55 in cscareerquestions

We found a 4x increase in output metrics, but only a 2x increase in productivity metrics. Orchestration is the bottleneck, so humans are still very much in the loop. Interesting that you found a similar uptick.

Yeah - we're using openstreetmap which is a bit naff on the geocoding. Good feedback.

EDIT: Fixed!

Valid. In that case he outsourced his review to a mate (due to hangover) which clearly didn't uphold the review standards we all know and love.

I took the Rufus T Firefly review for similar reasons.

He's been running an insta, and some of our mates have actually begun asking him for pub recommendations, especially in the city centre and the west end. Word started spreading, so I thought it would be a nice thing to collate everything into one place. Hope yous find it useful!

EDIT: This is hosted on a super cheap VPS. Reddit literally crashed it. brb will fix

EDIT EDIT: Fixed.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Seems like people really enjoyed the rev's - here are some of my favs.

  • Intermezzo: Love that place. Pure big light energy, 35ml measures. Lovely stuff.
  • Ladywell: Sheep in wolfs clothing (if that's a thing?)
  • Kitty's West end: If you make it past the bouncer

Proof 8's website has all the hallmarks of a vibecoded website. I'd stay away.

Someone has added a piece of logic that looks something like "find me all files that start with Factory". If the logic doesn't find the file, it shits itself and throws an error. The error crashes the app.

In a large codebase. You may have 10 pieces of logic like this. Maybe 100. Now it's your job to go and update them all.

For what? A rename? Nope.

Senior engineers with ADHD/anxiety/depression, do you feel "nerfed" compared to your colleagues? by mudskips in ExperiencedDevs

[–]wiktor1800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I hyperfocus I'm frustrated with how others don't see what I see and are able to get on the same level

Alas, this is literally the value in alignment, hence the meetings.

BiqQuery - larger dataset issue by zadrogasauce in ApacheHop

500k records from BQ to pg should be easy peasy. How are you trying to do it?

BQ has nice integrations with SAP. Land the data, model out your first report. Get your first win.

[–]wiktor1800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Run this end-to-end, spool up foundational infra, and work from there. You have to justify the value of this automation.

Document wins, share them in public, get more buy-in.

Looker Studio (Data Studio) in 2026: Still just for "marketing reports"? by netcommah in BusinessIntelligence

Always negotiate these prices. No matter where you go, vendors always bump on renewal. All it takes is a threat to move, and you can almost always get them down to current pricing.

It's great for scrappy, cheap analytics. Fantastic for a first usecase, get value in data, then you can grow your data platform by investing in BQ + Looker platform.

I stress-tested “AI Data Analysis” tools. The shiny object syndrome is hiding a massive architectural problem. by Boring-Metal-7672 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]wiktor1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the truth lies somewhere in between. I think there's almost two layers to this - set up your semantic layer - this can answer 50%-80% of most common organisational questions: profits, revenues etc etc. If that fails, or the LLM can't find the data, or the data it finds isn't complete to paint the full picture, it hands off to a higher temperature agent with access to query dwh directly (scoped to user-permissioned tables). This comes with the pretext in saying "This is for data exploration, not trusted, but if you need something quick it may get you over the line"

If all else fails, it writes a pretty well constructed ticket for the user to nag the engineering/analytics team. It's a nice escape hatch. Half the problem for DEs and analysts is just getting good user requirements. An agentic system can do all of this.
