  • Reading through the third book right now, and either missed or completely forgot the suggestion to try not to follow it, but glad I saw this message because I am often getting confused as to where people are. Still having a blast though! Well written books? Maybe not, but they are very fun.

    So far DCC is giving me a nice break from the Cosmere and Sanderson's in depth world building.

  • TIL Gabe Newell (CEO of Valve) bought and owns the megayachts company Oceanco

  • Quite a lot of people thought Elon was a decent guy once upon a time.

    I just think Gabe is a bit smarter in what he says and does publicly. Most extremely wealthy people seem to be higher in measures of narcissistic traits, self-entitlement, and egocentrism.

  • When I used to play games online on English speaking servers, and French players would only write in French and people would be complaining, all it took was to write Omelette du fromage for them to quickly switch to English to explain how it's wrong.

  • Thrust into an AI role

    Jump

  • Not sure on the size of your team, but you could perhaps form a small subset of AI "champions" who can try to help drive new initiatives. Just some ideas:

    1. Start out with foundational usage of AI agents, ensure people have the right mindset and ownership of using the ai agents. Ensure there is always a "human in the loop."
    2. Arrange for some training for people (not just Devs) on the right way of using AI, such as not throwing sensitive information into it. Educate people that it's far from perfect
    3. Get standard boundaries in place for your current and future projects, get context files (agent.md) for your projects so those who do use the agents will be doing so from the best position.
    4. See if you can arrange with the higher ups to arrange some company time do a Hackathon with the use of AI to help people see what they can do with it and the challenges they'll face. You can also take some learnings from it.

    The way I see it, you've been given the position of head of AI because you're indifferent. It's your job now to drive engagement (because that's what your bosses want) but in a controlled manner. If they put someone that was overly enthusiastic about AI they would end up with a huge bill and lots of AI mess to clean up.

  • Software Engineers Are Facing an Existential Crisis As They Drown In Horrendous AI Code

    Jump

  • Machines cannot take responsibility for problems, which is why I feel containment barriers cannot be entirely AI.

    Where I work AI is being pushed hard, but the company has made it their policy that there must be a human in the loop. Ownership of the code written by AI is down to the person using the AI. "Oops, don't know why the AI wrote that!" Is not a valid answer to bugs being introduced into production.

    I'm seeing senior engineers of 15+ years no longer writing code and churning out a ton more work. They are disappointed they don't write code anymore but working with the AI is the job they have to do to be able to afford to live. They say the cognitive load has shot up for them, they are constantly spinning plates.

    To make the plate spinning job easier they have implemented guard rails to ensure the agents don't do anything stupid. I'm seeing a number of stories posted to Lemmy where the AI does dumb shit but the stories don't apply any accountability to the developers using it.

  • Can't be expecting the peasants to share in the success of their hard work! Better to fire them and rehire them for cheaper when they are desperate.

  • What habit do you possess that seems very normal to you, but would seem odd to anyone else?

    Jump

  • I've never heard someone call it the "blossom end", I've always known it to be called the Bananus (banana anus). I think monkeys typically open it on the same end rather than from the stem.

    The kiwi skin on is actually very fibrous, I know someone that was constipated during pregnancy and the only thing that would clear them out was kiwis with skin on!

  • Claude Code's creator is sick of the phrase 'vibe coding.' Suggest your alternative here.

  • I recall someone at some point calling it cuckoding, that gave me a chuckle.

  • Worked in IT support and moved to software development. I still use the "Have you tried turning it off and on again" line whenever a colleague is having issues with their machine. There are still people surprised that this works. Sadly there is now a generation that has no idea what I'm referencing when sharing the IT crowd gif.

  • I'm doing my part!

  • "Marginally profitable." Profit is profit, and their end goal of giving people a library to drive sales has worked.

    Competition is good, for end consumers, but not a chance I'm going to be using EGS. They had no interest in making things better for consumers, especially with trying to create exclusivity in PC gaming.

  • Men's therapy in a nutshell

  • I think there is some value in accepting there are things out of our control and there is no benefit in dwelling on those things. Of course we can't apply it to everything.

  • Windows can add some complications as a dev, especially in the corporate environment when really strict group policies are implemented that stop Devs from installing or configuring systems as they need.

    One company I worked at remained on Windows LTSC for security reasons, and a lot of Devs that were working with Java hit a snag if for whatever reason an IDE they were using really wanted a system environment variable configured a certain way and it would straight up ignore user environment variables. They would be restricted from basically being able to configure anything without getting IT to remote on and make the changes for them.

    I was forced to use a Mac for the first time years ago for work, I still hate working on a Mac but I can't deny how much more flexible it can be compared to working in a Windows environment that is locked down.

  • Locked

    Lemmy – lacking tolerance and acceptance?

    Jump

  • Yeah fair enough, you're right, I should have been specific in saying Windows and MacOS.

    I believe the point still remains that intolerances exist on Lemmy.

    Lemmy – lacking tolerance and acceptance?

    Jump

  • I agree Windows sucks, just pointing out an intolerance! I think no matter what social we go on it will eventually become an echo chamber and people will be intolerant as their hatred grows.

    Another example is AI. Lemmy is intolerant of AI outside of AI specific communities, but go to LinkedIn and you have people circlejerking over how great their vibe coding is.

    Back when Reddit made it's API change and I moved to Lemmy, it felt like people were still getting a feeling of things, there would be more discussion on subjects. As time is going on I'm seeing discussion around subject diminish. I guess it could have been because there was less posts? Or could it be as time has gone on people have become less tolerant of things Lemmy generally doesn't like?

    Hope it helps!

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

    Jump

  • May have to try this next time! Normally I gulp lots of air until I can't anymore, then hold my breath until I can't, and breath out really slowly. It works but can be uncomfortable to do at times.

  • What's your pitch for a new pizza?

  • There was a contestant on the UK Apprentice show that did just that, and was apparently seeing success.
