I find it's a huge boost for my day-to-day work. If you work on architecture and Claude docs, then you can essentially just have it fill in the gaps. Work then mostly becomes a matter of defining what the next piece of functionality is

I'm from NZ (mostly european but part Maori heritage) and have had people talk to me in foreign languages, ask me in the supermarket if I'm from Spain (weird), give me random discounts etc. I also get "you look/feel so f

It's the type of thing you'd be exposed to in a computer science degree - operating systems / compilers. Always room to learn in software :)

Why would you shrink the team rather than become 20x more productive as a whole?

I'm at the lower end in the same way that a junior dev is at the lower end of the salary band. This is to be expected for anyone just starting out. You're assuming that you need privileged information that is not available, but wh

Yes, I might consider doing this but need to consistently feel confident doing it manually first. I did set up a docker instance to connect to my broker, so perhaps a goal for this year!

Yeah, copy paste for non-agentic workflows. I'm keeping things extremely simple.

by LouisSayers 9mo ago
Exactly, copy paste related code and files. Give it some background ontext on what it is you're doing and then tell it what you'd like it to do.

Statistically speaking, we typically end up with a bell curve right? So who's on the ends of the bell curve?

I've seen people on tiktok that exclusively trade options. It's not something I've looked into but my take after 6 months is that you basically find an approach that works for you, whether that be trading stocks, commodities,

Yes generally speaking, statistically most people will not beat the index. Does it follow then that no-one is beating the index consistently? Of course there are people who are not a statistic. Maybe not everyone is made for it, but that do

You can achieve a lot on the $30 plan. I use Claude every day for everything, it's amazing value for money. Give it a specific task with the context it needs, that's what I find works well, then iterate from there. I just copy pas

Stock trading can be quite lucrative if it's a good match. Have a look at Qullamaggie on YouTube. > Edit, I say this as someone that has been learning to trade the last 6 months. To be completely transparent I've actually overa

If you're into the gym and cooking, consider getting a cast iron frying pan. Not only great for cooking, but it can also help with wrist strength - you may need to ease into lifting the pan with a single hand.

Awesome, thanks for that! That does confirm some of my suspicions... He lives just a few hours from me as well.

Anyone care to give their take on Quantum Computing? Does it have practical application? Are we actually progressing towards something or are research papers just a way to get the next grant in order to continue playing with Quantum?

Do the rats enjoy it and if so, will the rats teach other rats how to play? This could give a whole new meaning to "the rat race"

Perhaps there are some people like you say that are grandiose narcissists and ALSO some people that are genuinely smarter than most others in the room and can see the obvious through the fog. I think the frustration they're experienc

I wish we could pin down not only the model but also the way the UI works as well. Last week Claude seemed to have a shift in the way it works. The way it summarises and outputs its results is different. For me it's gotten worse. Slowe

He's probably right that no-one else can do what he can, because competent Devs aren't going to work for a company that operates like this. If you have to build something because "Devs are too busy working on other things&quo

On sounds - as a non autistic person but as someone with a good "audio memory", music and sounds especially in an office can absolutely get on my nerves. It's mostly the repetitiveness. Being able to hear songs in your head s

That's like saying "money doesn't exist". In a sense everybody does have "2k" a month, because we all have the same amount of time to do productive things and exchange with others.

Nope, it's actually called that. You can go on Amazon an order a Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. The reason I know about this is from eating at the breakfast table in Germany.

yeah, total buzzkill. I get the need to call a peg a peg, but it's also good to allow a little fun as well or you end up with these dementors sucking the life out of a company. For a slack group, I think it's relatively harmless i

Fremdschämen is a good one. My favourite though: Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. It's one of those things that you never knew you needed.
