LLM’s have replaced Stack Overflow for me. Occasionally I can use them to write a simple bash script for me or some bit of terraform that I don’t feel like looking up. Useful but not exactly life changing. What I would consider a game chan

In my nearly 20 year career, I have never gotten a job by applying directly. The few times I’ve tried it was shockingly bad. I feel for anyone where that’s the only option they have. My advice is to invest heavily in your professional netwo

I think the best description I have ever heard of Jobs was given by Bill Burr: "Jesus, Ghandi, John Lennon, ME!". Much like Lennon, he cultivated a whole peace/love/enlightenment image while being a garbage person. Lenno

I mean look, it was an arbitrary example I gave and not a very good one apparently. The bulk of these comments are all focusing myopically on that which is a bummer as it distracts from the point I’m trying to make. Managers need to be will

Heh. Thanks for this. I am a bit disheartened about how much the arbitrary example I made is getting picked apart vs the actual point I was trying to make. It is what it is. HN gonna HN and all that lol. Blameless culture is very important.

This is literally the opposite of passive aggressive. That’s my entire point!! You have to be direct with people so the know where they stand. That applies to what they’re doing well on also. As for the “sell out” statement… I have no idea

You’re basically validating my original point if I am reading your comment correctly. You absolutely cannot avoid conflict but there is a right and a wrong way to go about it. Simple, direct feedback that speaks to behaviors not character i

This misses the single biggest mistake every new manager makes: avoiding hard conversations with your reports. If you start managing folks you were recently in the trenches with this can be VERY hard. These are your comrades after all! You

Coaching exists. I've had it and done it. I've worked with folks with disabilities too and been able to help them grow. The problem is that companies often promote folks with excellent technical skills into people centric roles li

I understand his point and think it's an interesting observation, but honestly I disagree. What AI is great at is handling all the bullshit writing tasks that you have to do that no one reads or cares about. For example I got asked t

The intern use case is 50% of the value I get from LLM’s (I refuse to call them AI because they aren’t). The other 50% is as a better stackoverflow where I can look up syntax etc. Anything that requires a deterministic outcome is not a good

These days I equate senior titles with more mid level. You've seen some shit but could use a bit more time in the oven so to speak. I see Staff Engineer and Engineering Lead used for what I would consider a senior role 7 or 8 years bac

Ok. Gave a listen to the whole thing. While this is certainly a lot more musical than the other stuff I’ve heard like Trout Mask Replica, it’s still not really for me. The absurdist lyrics are a real barrier as are some of the guitar sounds

I mean look: investing in your skills is ALWAYS a good idea. AI or not tech becomes obsolete so you need to remain relevant. So yes. Do that. High ROI that. AI is useful for getting started in some cases where you can clearly describe going

I call BS. If this were a reality stuff like Django’s admin panel or Wordpress or google forms or a million other things would have already done this type of dev in. It hasn’t. You know why? Because there’s always some weird requirement or

Respectfully, this is a gross over simplification of the problem. There is a vocal minority of folks, mostly "front of house" that stand to make a decent living. No ones getting rich. It's just that you can make a good wage w

Dude that sucks on your friend. I feel you. I’ve lost a lot of people for the same reason. It’s hard for people to accept that it’s not a moral failing. All I can say is that the ones who really matter will try to meet you halfway. I too am
