Is software engineering dead?>The consensus is a resounding yes, the job has completely changed, mostly for the better. Devs are shifting from being code writers to being AI managers or "agent managers.">The most common workflow involves running multiple Claude sessions simultaneously, like a team of junior devs. You spend the start of your day crafting high-level prompts for your tasks, and then the rest of the day is spent reviewing, testing, and integrating the AI-generated code. This confirms OP's feeling of being "differently busy." While actual keyboard time for coding is way down, time spent on planning, prompt engineering, and especially code reviews is way up.>The payoff is huge. Many report finishing a day's or even a week's worth of tasks by noon, freeing up time for higher-level strategic thinking, planning the next day's work, or just enjoying more free time. However, you still have to be the senior engineer in the room; the AI can be confidently wrong, use outdated libraries, or get lazy, so manual oversight is critical.>Pro-tips from the thread: * Go hands-free: Many are ditching typing for voice-to-text tools like Whispr Flow or Superwhisper to dictate prompts, citing typing as the new bottleneck. * Stop the sycophant: To get Claude to challenge your ideas, give it a strong persona in the system prompt, like "You are an elite Staff Software Engineer who pushes back on bad ideas." * Work in parallel: Use git worktrees to manage multiple AI-driven tasks on the same repo at once.https://old.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1pun9u5/devs_using_ai_coding_tools_daily_what_does_your/
>>107663133The limiting step hasnt changed for in production code bases, and that is attaining full comprehension of the system. Nuance is only attained at fully appreciation of a system. Its known from pedagogy that creating a line of code comes with full understanding, but rote memorization is quickly forgotten and underappreciated. Thus these workflows overtime leave the whole engineering team without nuance. Leading to things like not being able to change the taskbar location as its deeply behind ai generated code that passed the ticket but no one understands, is verbose, and machine readibility optimized not human.If its a web slop page these flows are goodIf your handling users money or sensitive data this workflow is a good way to poison pill a corporation slowlycand effectively

>>107665390Every moving part is susceptible to mechanical wear. The fan bearing can go bad, the symptom is that it doesn't spin smoothly and freely as it should and it draws more current as a result of that added load (potentially running at a reduced speed if it can't get enough power for that).I've saved desk fan bearings before by just redoing the grease, but once the grease goes bad the ball bearings can start tearing at their tracks and scratching it, so you gotta catch it early to save like that. Maybe worth it for computer fans just for testing purposes, if it starts working as it should after that, then you know the fan is bad. Spray grease would work fine for that test. Then you buy a new fan.Heat pipes, dissipator fins and whatnot can only corrode depending on the environment. Otherwise they don't age.

>>107655267Here is the breakdown:1. Cosmetic Filters & ScriptletsThe Claim: Cosmetic filters are powered by "random javascript scriptlets" that cause XSS vulnerabilities.The Fact: Mostly False. Cosmetic filtering primarily uses CSS injection (hiding elements like <div>), which is inert and cannot execute code. While uBlock Origin (uBO) does support "scriptlets" for advanced cases (like defeating anti-adblockers), these are not "random." They are pre-defined, audited code snippets maintained by the uBO team. They do not grant arbitrary XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) capabilities to websites.2. Service WorkersThe Claim: XSS can persist via Service Workers, which run even when the browser is closed.The Fact: True. Service Workers can run in the background and persist. However, the implication that adblockers are a primary vector for Service Worker hijacking is unfounded. Using standard filter lists does not "register" malicious Service Workers.3. uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL) vs. uBOThe Claim: uBOL is better because it doesn't need global permissions.Comment too long.

>everyone says to learn to code in 2020>market gets flooded due to overhiring>everyone gets laid off after the covid growth spurt and blames it on ai>now everyone is saying to stop learning to codei wonder what will happen in a couple of yearsalways do the opposite of what normgroids are saying
>>107659342Learn to code kind of lost its original meaning, it used to mean learn to code so you can start your own company and be your own boss.With the explosion of ycombinator style startup culture that somehow warped into make a shitty unprofitable business held up by hype and hope Google or something buys you before you run out of money and you get a golden parachute out.This later devolved even more into just skip the middleman and learn to code so you can wagecuck for Google until you die.The initial reason learn to code worked was that large companies iterated too slowly and were out of touch with what people wanted and couldn't provide a good product because they kept crumbling under the weight of their own bureaucracy. All of those things are even more true today than they were before. Even if you legitimately buy into the AI hype, that just means one dude on his laptop has even more of a fighting chance against the FAGMANs of this world.
>>107665335>it used to mean learn to code so you can start your own company and be your own boss.why can't americans programmers do the same thing again? there are so many problems that could be solved with low tech, yet no one seems to give a shit, and everyone seems to be desperate to become the next Uber or whatever

what is the relationship between CPU and GPU for gaming? i have a i9-14900kf that is causing problems with bsod when gaming, i have no issues when i reduce max cores to 4 cores for some games or 8 cores for other games. will reducing processing ability cause textures and stuff to take longer to load which would cause me to drop frames? or does the GPU handle all that?

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made.
