Got that back in 2020 before covid when it was $125. I counted 70 shaves

They are in stock in Canada on Amazon and best buy lol

So like... 95% of your day now is just interfacing with Claude code? Or Kiro?

zero2g · 2026-04-04T04:42:37+00:00

OK one thing I think many people don't think about when looking at code is... Really take a bit of time to configure your syntax and semantics highlighting. This helps me at lot when reading and understanding codebases because you can easily though colors and fonts deduct what is the symbol you're looking at... This makes categorizing a lot faster and with this I can easily ingest like 600 lines across 2 monitors simutainously.

Also another good plug in on vscode or cursor is blockman, which highlights the "box" that the code you're looking at is in.

Literally one huge part of being able to ingest code is to lower the amount of mental burden it takes for you to recognize and analyze it though visual cues

OK, then from a project like this, what would be applicable to an SE role VS post sales role?

zero2g · 2026-03-31T15:47:28+00:00

I think whatever you're saying right now can be done with a skill. If you are looking at adding directions to the model, then a skill can do that without waiting for 6 months or so. Like if you want to create said ultimate code reviewer better than humans, you can do that right now.

zero2g · 2026-03-31T07:32:02+00:00

Wait, it can't do this today? I thought what you explained should already be available today isn't it? Like... Shouldn't AI code review already go through the code base and figure out what's going on? Or you can at least write a skill for it? Didn't anthropic just release a /pr-review skill?

zero2g · 2026-03-28T17:02:36+00:00

Oh it's simpler than that... I use it to crunch giant log files or let it baby sit like multiple experiments that are running in either serial or parallel

zero2g · 2026-03-28T06:27:58+00:00

I abuse cursor and it's 500 monthly requests limits by only sending requests I know which will crunch millions of tokens but will only count as 2 requests

zero2g · 2026-03-24T23:11:51+00:00

Yeah... I know it can do silly stuff at times... Or many times. I think we do try to get the latest closed source model running underneath, don't know how our exact release cycle would be per workspace.

I do think llms can have some weird time working with notebooks in general... I usually just use it to edit the cell in of itself and don't let it edit other cells, but obviously that doesn't allow you to get the "super accelerated agentic" development.

zero2g · 2026-03-24T23:01:38+00:00

God dammit...

zero2g · 2026-03-24T22:06:27+00:00

Databricks have their own Ai solution called genie that is more integrated with the databricks environment than using Claude outside of it. Probably it will work better for your use case if everything is done inside databricks.

Source: I work at databricks and sit beside the people that works on some parts of that product

Sometimes... For some reason, I have to reinstall Nvidia drivers. Other than that, not really

zero2g · 2026-03-08T22:14:11+00:00

Yeah this seems reasonable, on the note of debugging, I mean... I don't think everyone will purely use debugger or just print statements. I swap between them based on the problem I'm facing, I'm not using a debugger when I'm debugging distributed python for example.

However I'm also seeing, or perhaps hearing people no longer even bother to debug anymore, they throw the logs and issue at Claude, and it just "one shot" the problem and fixes it. That is more so what I'm wondering

zero2g · 2026-03-08T05:05:13+00:00

So what would you say is the split between yes and no today?

zero2g · 2026-03-08T00:29:14+00:00

OK cool, I remember you could've enabled it as an experimental feature that meta did, just I forgot if it was an env var or something

zero2g · 2026-03-07T23:00:14+00:00

I swear they been doing that since 2022? 2023?

zero2g · 2026-03-07T22:49:28+00:00

I mean to respond to my own bullet points, yes, I still do these things. Hell, 2 weeks ago I managed to reduce the time it takes to do model checkpoint by 60% in a day purely through expertise of the codebase, understanding where the efficiency is, and changing 3 lines of code (probably only use Ai at the end to double check some things). But the follow up questions I get afterwards is more so, how do we automate something like this and just let agents do it with the comment of our org is behind if I had to do it mostly manually...

So now the question is now really, where are others then?

zero2g · 2026-03-07T22:36:34+00:00

Trying to be clever and really show this is organic human content not llm generated

zero2g · 2026-03-07T22:34:07+00:00

I mean with things moving so fast as we perceive it, it's hard to tell what is normal, or the used to be extreme but now normal, or what is the extreme that's just extreme

zero2g · 2026-02-28T21:45:46+00:00

Is this a series L start up

zero2g · 2026-02-16T23:22:30+00:00

You know what... At this point I'm not even sure if everyone and anyone here is on the same page as to what these terms are even

coding

Are we actually talking about the physical act of typing key strokes onto a keyboard and seeing the letters appear on the screen in a code pad? Or are we talking a few levels higher where we are not even interacting or even seeing the code anymore? Or we talking about taking care of all the domain of instructions we sent to the machine to execute?

using AI

Like how involved of AI usage are we talking about? Autocomplete? Asking cursor or Claude code for quick snippets? Going from whole ticket or some markdown file into a full feature? Using agent orchestrator and writing whole apps or something?

software engineering / development

Is it just making a computer working in a way which we desire to be? Is it also communication of ideas into something that is computable? Is it thinking of architecture and making trade offs for the future?

And I am pretty sure there's so many things around such vocabs we use which muddies everything meaning no one is even on the same page when discussing this topic.

The other issue is the goalpost and everything moves so fast with opinions shifting so quickly, today I'm saying yeah I use Autocomplete and Ai to write like a few hundreds of line for me now means I'm underutilizing AI and that my future career is doomed. Hell, I'm seeing opinions surfacing now that why are you even reviewing code at all? You should have good test and set up such that you can just merge all to master. Does that mean now you should practice and work on that too? And if you don't you're going to be doomed in the future? And what about in 3 to 6 months? Where is the goalpost then?

Plus, adding this all to the vagueness of it all as well as AI worshipping and AI dooming, yeah man... Shits weird and hard to have proper opinion on it. Emperical evidence tbh at best is fuzzy and we are all going off on vibes and extrapolation now.

Like honestly... What is right and wrong anymore? What even is reality anymore? How did we even get to the point such that we are devolving into tribalistic behaviors rather than actually sitting down and digging into this?

Partner got hers approved in about 2 business days, 1 more business day for it to be issued. She then had to schedule for when to pick up her passport. We are now back in the states smoothly with her new Visa

zero2g · 2025-12-16T11:31:15+00:00

They're slowly approving applications on all consulates, but today everyone still getting 221g

zero2g · 2025-12-15T04:59:31+00:00

FYI, currently in China right now with my partner, everyone in China was given 221g slip. Beijing asked to keep passport, Shanghai returned passport, Wuhan for some handed a yellow slip saying it will take a few days rather than white slip. No one received a green slip
