I am going to take my 401k and open up a coffee or bike shop. If I am going to be broke, might as well enjoy what I do.

My first real job was in McKinney, sad to hear they are all dead.

Yes to all, but it's just me responsible for monitoring performance/cost. I either push back or fix it myself, but I am behind. So this is an attempt to give/push more ownership to the teams.

Startups have limited resources, we prioritize the best we can. As a staff engineer it's my responsibility to bring this to my company, but it's not an overnight process.

It's not the whole culture and product, it's specific teams that do it. And trying to push back on teams that are "producing" is not a simple task.

This 100%. I just requested a hackathon for performance improvement (might be wasted effort). We are pushing tons of code and now our CPU usage has grown exponentially over the past year because the bad engineers just ship whatever Claude g

For my small team we are not creating our versions, we're just more likely to find a self hostable version and use an LLM to help setup in production. For us it's a middle ground between the build your own SaaS and paying $10ks. B

Interested in examples of the types of scripts others collaborators wouldn't be able to use? Like scripts for PR workflows?

I would ask for references for the suicide claims, so others can assess the impact themselves. That's a very serious claim to provide without any proof, especially to a group of people who very well be going through the same thing. I a

Any other engineers just living life frozen at this point. I am unable to make any life decisions because it seems like I won't have a career in the near future. I am unable to purchase a home to settle down for my family, because dad

It's great, I'm in my 30's, two kids, relatively high income family, but can't make any financial decisions because it feels like on a dime we will be living paycheck to paycheck all while having zero debt. It's a s

Guess I am scared to program for real since I don't use a "real" language like Rust. What a wild statement to make.

Feels like the most important thing we can do is document it all. Save multiple encrypted copies. There is so many things worth documenting, but don't let others tell 'you' what happened. Write it down.

Make sure to opt-out before handing your ID over to the agent. They will claim you can no longer opt-out at that point, even before scanning. I had one plead to my wife to go through, because they are being watched by management and it woul

This right here - I am migrating all of our GHA to use the mise action. Makes keeping the version of Go, linters, formatters etc. for the project so much easier. Haven't added the mise.lock yet, but on the list. Now getting my small te

I would love to figure out why I don't see this at my company. People still shipping at the same rate as before, customers bringing up more and more bugs, problems that require planning for scale are not being thought about (more bugs)

She says it's both. By new stuff, it's mostly one off programs that handle small changes to the way billing or claims are handled. It sounds like they have a library of programs to start with and she extends it to fit the new edge

Just re-wrote an internal CLI to urfave from custom, but having issues with v3 autocomplete scripts. Might just take the time to switch over to cobra and use this.

from my experience of late, engineers usually toss stack traces into LLMs and ask what the issue is. good error wrapping, engineers grep for one of the first errors and get to the error code right away. both ways work.

Agreed. Using Claude Sonnet 3.5-7 with Aider produces significantly better output than any other models I have tried.

I would guess most people in leadership have no actual clue how they would replace the human in the seat with AI. They are riding the hype that the companies who provide the tools are putting out, but when it comes time to execute they don&

My company moved away from Level last year, but for the year we used the product, it was nothing but issues with approvals for purchases.

Consider valves or pressure regulators also! Lots of shared fundamentals with the flow of gases!

Oh interested in the issues with http clients you have? I think they are great to use for being right in the standard library. Only complaint I have is defaults for timeouts and such, but you make that mistake once and don't forget.
