My company gave me an app called Kiro and I'm kind of feeling like a fraud everyday. Except for minor bug fixes that only need editing 4 or 5 lines, I can't remember the last time I coded an entire file. Other day, one of my teammate even said I used AI the most in my team and it worried me because I used to pride myself for being one of the few in my company who didn't brought in to the AI hype.

I'm a half-assed sysadmin and management started paying for enterprise GPT + Claude and I think it's genuinely making me retarded. I can just turn my brain off and prompt whatever project I'm trying to work through and as long as I pay enough attention to catch the hallucinations it mostly just werks.
Strangely enough my boss and some coworkers have shitty results with it and I don't know why. As soon as I get in a call with them and start prompting it usually spits out the right thing right away.

that's not true.
You do get constant observation on your phone, on your computer, on your laptop and woman who will get mad at you if you do something they don't agree with
You actually get less energy that you can spend productively by being a NEET which receives mental disability checks.
A lot more of your energy gets completely wasted towards finding out why some man hate woman and slowly getting to the conclussion that woman are super annoying the very moment they hate you or want to manipulate you or just simply want to wake you up until 4am when it's 2am.
Basically both sides where the Woman hates all Man and Man who hates all Woman are equally valid positions to find yourself in.

In my defense a lot of the shit that's problematic to me is the culture so hopefully it's not a problem there.

Same, one of the last people too start using AI, now I have the second highest token usage in the company and have just finished doing a major refactor where claude wrote 99% of the code, using aikido and rovo for code reviews.
Looking back I could have done all the code myself, but between hunting obscure documentation or being forced to deal with plugins with no documentation at all, it would have taken at least twice the time to do it. Company pays for the AI slop and expects stuff to be done faster now.

>>109552993
I'm slightly overpaid at my current job desu and I expect to lose 10-20% net salary in my next one unless I can do the correct salary optimisations. But I'm thinking its worth it to work in a good environment again cuz I hate my current job and the entire company is spiraling the drain.

>>109551807
>>109554765
It is insanely easy to burn though tokens. I burned my monthly budget in two days writing tests and refactoring a complex feature. But I don‘t trust AI to refactor an entire codebase that isn‘t yet fully covered by a billion tests without screwing up in a way a reviewer couldn‘t detect.

I am slowly being driven mad by all of these self-diagnosed autism cases that email in. I'm an old-school train loving autist (with an attic dedicated to my hobby), and we're under attack from almost exclusively young women asking for special treatment due to autism. Our automatic responses and procedures work for 10s of thousands of other students, of which I am assuming there are some with autism in this number with no issues. They are asking for MFA to be disabled as it's too hard and they don't understand, autism and ADHD means they can't remember to authenticate a login or keep track of a new app. The SSPR process is too confusing despite us having video, image and text guides, along with a bot that can guide you step by step. They are too riddled with autism and adhd to reply to emails within a reasonable time and the SECOND an automated reminder goes out, or the ticket closes due to our SLA's we receive essays from ChatGPT with bold and caps everytime the word autism comes up, accusing the school and IT of being and I quote from 1 student "enemies of the disabled".

>>109557656
getting diagnosed with fake and completely unmeasurable disabilities is a cheat code to living in the first world. nobody wants any potential legal issues from denying someone a "reasonable accommodation" so they often cave. people have demanded their job be full remote as a reasonable accommodation. the small town im from had a case in the paper because a fat bitch had her "reasonable accommodation" denied and she got fired for doing no work, and sued for discrimination.

Miracles do happen. I think I just sold my soul away or something. I'm going to get plopped into a server room floor, get told to 'fix it' and get fired in a week. Never felt imposter syndrome before I even started a job before. They made a huge mistake.

Fuck me I'm in over my head. I just quit my job, went down and bought a laptop that can run VMs. booting up fedora now. Hoping to at least get SOMETHING before Wednesday. Wish me luck lads, this is either the worse decision of my life or the best one.

Is it a bad idea to leave a toxic remote job for hybrid one?

Every colleague is acting against me, despite my best intentions and trying not to bother anyone.
There isn't a single person I can trust and it's getting tiring to tolerate being pushed around. It's affecting me mentally in my free time as well.
I'm a social retard and don't talk much, maybe that's what's bothering them.

To be fair remote work is the only reason I can tolerate full-time work, otherwise I'd be totally miserable having no time for myself. I used to work hybrid before and it wasn't bad, but full remote is so much better. Sadly it's impossible to find another one now, best I can find is hybrid. Really sucks to be stuck in a shitty job.

im autist that cured my own autism and I will tell you my theory on what it is
autism is nothing more and nothing less than chronic inflammation of brain
same thing with adhd, they're just different flavors of the same shit
you either can't focus on anything or you have hyperfocus on one thing
it's just a brain trying to distract itself from inflammation

that is why vagus nerve stimulation helps, that is why neurodivergent people have higher levels of toxic metals in their bodies

take daily nac pills, take quercetin, take high doses vitamin C and boron
and go to sauna 3 times a week
within a year you will be cured

you should look at aluminum concentrations in sweat after sauna in neurodivergents

>>109558111
>daddy liked speed/coke and amphetamines destroyed the spermogenesis process (which takes 3 months btw)
You must still have autism if you don't understand that sometimes things are either broken from the beginning or break over time naturally. We did not use to be perfect creatures before the invention of farming or seed oils or whatever you believe caused "imperfectness".
>you should look at aluminum concentrations in sweat after sauna in neurodivergents

Taking ex-infantry defence contractors to modern units? I know it'd never happen, and if it did, it'd be useless. It does sound fun though.

that kind of thing where i would be angry at myself for not being good enough at let alone truly allowed to do invasive surgery on stuff. I don't think it's a result of the new job; it was already going away then. some sense that assaults are possible but even if any assault is done to cover a retreat, it's still an assault. I know it's good to stay chill and let things come as they happen, but even with that I think I've gone past the lesson and my blood is running a little too cool.

I actually worry about the state of the unit, in terms of IT and radio shit. My old oldhead fun boss is probbaly gone by now, and I have a laptop from them that wasn't included in the scary "You owe us a lot of money for your gear." letter. My section seemed to always be a lynchpin despite our do-nothing position. I'm tempted to simply ask the second-biggest boss how things are going and how my presence could possibly help. It's not like my own experience means anything anymore; it's all from now dead classes of ship and my trade's responsibilities have been parted out.


I've gotten a real job since all that. Lords of the round tables, I pray for your success. No part of this is my problem anymore. If it were, I have nothing but obsolete nonsense to offer. If I am to be trained up to deal with the new ships, that's trivial.

First off, our shop uses ladder logic, which is a visual symbolic language designed to be read and written by 80 IQ meth smoking industrial operators who dropped out of high school.

The processes I control are very basic, there's no cool problem solving or autistic optimization like there is in traditional programming, there's essentially one solution to every problem and it's always super simple
Also, I just don't like troubleshooting hardware as much as I thought I would. Idk why it's just not that interesting

>>109560265
None, I literally just applied. I had a background in industrial automation but on the software side (C#/SQL).

I never been to 99. I got moved near the Commons at one point and hated it. The only restaurant I liked there was the asian place. The fried rice was really good, and the sushi stand too. There's a sandwich place there (I forget the name) that was basically a ripoff. There were other stalls that hadn't reopened last I was there, so I don't the current state. I never tried the rice bowl place, not really a fan of those. There was a mexican place in submixer I wanted to try but never did. My favorite cafes were the new campus: 4, 6, and 9. The burgers at the diners in 6 and 9 were good, and the "seattle themed" place at 9 was good. The mexican place at 4 was good too, a knockoff Chipotle. Sometimes they did prime rib plates that were half decent. There were also the rotating places of local restaurants. pasta ya gotcha was one of my favorites, I'd always go to them. The teriyaki place was good, and the panda express knockoff too. Some of the cafes have the "chef's table" stalls, and those can be good too, but the portions aren't great.

$1 in dollars != $1 in stock options

for one, if you get laid off before they vest you get fuck all. then, the company can explode. or issue new stock. or do something else.

this jeet izzat shit is why everything is garbage nowadays

I absolutely despise subordinates who don't just straight up tell me if they don't know something. I can tell them how to learn and budget more time. I can't go back and unwaste a month of sneaky attempts to cover your ass.

>>109569683
For big companies they issue RSUs, not options. You also can't sell them before they vest, obviously. So those points show you don't know shit already. How can m$ or scroogle explode overnight? At worst there will be signs. Also a nonsense. RSUs are a dilutive event, but that doesn't matter at all as evidence by their price history.

PLC is the nether realm for electricians who were too smart for being regular electricians and dream of being codemonkeys one day

>>109569703
no its not izzat, its dalits. Dalits always do things like that

>>109569683
None of that has anything to do with me working there. Stock that isn't vested doesn't exist, irrelevant. Any investment can explode, irrelevant. Also, FAANG doesn't do stock options

>>109560265
PLCs don't involve low level embedded code, you write strictly gatekept application code using a limited and curated toolset in a babby language for retards. every hardware aspect is hidden from you and abstracted.

if you want to fuck around with setting up hardware USARTs by writing to raw registers and reading data with interrupt handlers go do embedded. if you want to actually implement a hardware U(S)ART go do FPGAs

>>109569746
I haven't used PLCs, I thought you still wrote verilog or vhdl, is that not the case?

>>109569843
those are fpgas retard

plcs are 8 bit microcontrollers in a fancy plastic box that sit inside the electrical cabinet of your local poop filtering plant. you program them using a 50gb proprietary software suite that infects your computer like aids and installs 20 telemetry and DRM malware programs to make sure you have the exact right license to work with specifically the 2014 q1 revision of the plc not the 2013 q3 one

you program plcs in one of 5 standard languages for kindergarteners, though in america they only use ladder logic (the one that looks like electrical schematics). in Europe you might luck out and find a company that uses pascal... I mean, "structured text".

>>109564331
I doubt there will be one, the allure of having the machine think for you is too great for most midwits.

I do (some) plc programming (in ST), is there any advantage to moving to FPGA or is all embedded fucked?

>>109566297
Based.

What's it like working in the engineering department at a bank? Seems pretty interesting desu.

>>109569987
Nobody's disputing that. It's just ridiculous that you assumed they are programmed using verilog/vhdl when the devices are from a completely unrelated world

The only explanation I can think of is that you confused PLCs with PLAs/PALs that are the ancestors of FPGAs and did get configured using HDLs

>>109563623

Is going into cybersecurity worth it in the 2026th year of our Lord? I have a chance in both joining a team as a junior penetration tester (a bit of a fallback in corpo title, same money as now), and also do a Certified Cybersecurity Technician course and exam. I am very much tempted to do so, I feel like I am going crazy with our current retarded data engineering project and I really want to pivot away from both finance and data engineering.

When do you guys skip the gym? I constantly miss my sunday workouts because holy shit I feel so burnt and want a rest day before monday but it's the only day where I deadlift which makes me guilty for skipping it.

>>109560996
good lord furries are based

>>109571380
I can't get into a weekly schedule, so I just do upper-lower-rest repeat, whenever I can.

>>109571380
I drink too much and work 12's. I have entirely been doing upper body dumbbell exercises. I need to hit the rowing machine again.

>>109571380
when im in the rhythm its easy to be there 3x a week. deadlifting hard on sunday would be a rough way to start the work week imo. it makes you so tired. ive only just started deadlifting regularly though, maybe it gets better.

the trick ive used to get myself in the gym consistently is just setting the bar extremely low for what i expect of myself that day. if im feeling like shit (every day of my life now) i will commit mentally to just showing up and doing 1 exercise that i like and leaving. taking off the pressure to perform tricks me into showing up and then i pretty much always go hard. ive almost never actually done the 1 exercise and leave thing, but its been a very useful mental trick for me.

its hard because once you allow yourself to start skipping days, its pretty much over. what i do is take 1 to 3 weeks off every 4 months or so.
i work out early morning before work. it sucks but you get used to it.
any time i start allowing exceptions in my routine it becomes the standard. i skipped training squat and deadlift for so long because of that.

ymmv and im not even remotely strong enough to be taking advice from anyway.

How many hours do you guys work in a week?

I've been at a mandatory 50 hr/wk company for years, but recently my week has crept up to 55-60 hrs. I've seen more places do 4x10 now, is that common these days? I'm all on-prem.

>>109571905
60-70hr. US but worse it's straight time pay.

>>109562489
I'm white. Keep coping, Rajeev.

>>109571905
>How many hours do you guys work in a week?
About 10 when things are extremely busy (usually year-end). Otherwise, four to five; trying to cut that down, though.

How do I acquire a six-figure FAGMAN job? (No I am not Indian).

>>109572332
Six figures meaning at least $200k, right? Even manufacturing operators start at $100k at my company now, dollars are worthless.

>>109572398
I'm fine with even $100k. The Median income inthe US is $64,220

>>109571776
Don't say that, you're probably stronger than 80% of people on this site (including fraud /fit/ (not even fraud due to steroids but fraud because it's a bunch of fucking losers). Don't ever put yourself down man. I always find taking a week off even more damaging, I come back and I have to reduce all my lifts by 20% and it takes me a long ass while to come back to normal. I have no idea why.

>>109572398
you say that but here in Europe I recently got offered 85k for 5yoe most of which was full time work at a research institute during my phd. the job was in munich where half of that will disappear in taxes and half again of that will go to rent. that was the best place. ended up deciding to just stay at my current place because it's simply not worth giving up the absolute autonomy and ability to control my own budget and timeline several years into the future for a slight pay bump.

>>109569987
>I was just pretending to be pretending to be retarded

>>109571905
I moved to yurop so I could stick to 40h a week. It was 70h most weeks in the US. Salaried so no overtime or extra hour pay at all. I was also oncall so sometimes had to work weekends, and most holidays. I earn 100k in us funny money despite a much lower col and actually having time for hobbies now.

>>109556766
Yep. been there, done that,got laid off in the next mass layoff.

>>109555956
It took me an embarassingly long time to figure this out but: inefficient work processes that waste dev time and engineering time create the execuse used by non-technical freeloaders for why company needs so many non-devs, non-engineers, and non-technical freeloaders. If the inefficient work processes were eliminated then the non-technical managerial employees would have no reason to be employed. In other words: non-technical freeloaders intentionally create inefficiences to hire more non-technical freeloaders and keep their own jobs secure. For example: every notice how "business analysts" don't seem to know anything about the business and always have to go ask someone else?

that's true for some of the processes for some of the time but I suspect you've always been an individual contributor. usually processes exist to mitigate downside risk of various types. prevent catastrophic errors, ensure traceability of decisions and funds, ensure hand-off between individuals and teams is possible, ensure no individual or team is grossly underutilized etc

What to do when you are out of job hops and now you just have to actually work? It's like I'm looking at the board and realizing I'm out of moves.

How do you guys find the energy to cook? Hell, how do you even prevent yourself from eating out when RTO? I use the 12-1pm as a cope and I check out different restaurants and eat kind of luxuriously because fuck it I got nothing else going on and I HATE work.

>>109574295
it does, but it can still and often does have a positive ROI for the organization as a whole. the organization's goal is not to make your life easy, they're paying you to do what you're told to do.
