Definitely more helpful. But I would preface that with proper context building.

It isn’t enough (generally) to just tell it to do the thing. It is far better to to tell it to do a thing, and how, and provide rules, and provide examples, and provide the company’s best practices.

And I realize it takes a bit to get there, but I’m at a point that with enough context provisions, I can generate 10+ files of code for a net new feature that is 99%+ how I would do it in sub 5 minutes.

Do I tell Product that I still need another week? Absolutely.

Context is king.

It goes through two levels of review, we do not accept slop.

…wow, TIL.

Cry more. Half the problem is Copilot is anecdotally worse than just running a model locally myself. It easily ranks at or near the bottom for everything IME.

The other half is Microsoft shoving it everywhere including fucking Notepad.

I feel like you must be prompting it poorly or using ChatGPT / Copilot?

I’d say in my day to day, AI tooling successfully tackles 90% of my software engineering jobs and with proper context and promoting the output is pretty stellar.

lol

Someone who knows more than me…does this guy just get disappeared then? Or is the only ramification really just a lost job?

I never said don’t vote.

I said don’t depend on simply voting to fix things.

Don’t sit around for another year expecting the midterms will fix things.

Unfortunately I can’t do much with just that.

Keep a gun close, add some cameras, but otherwise this person is probably just a POS troll.

Apathy? Wake the fuck up to what is going on. Voting alone won’t fix things.

If you can DM me their name and any other identifying info you have (general city, photos, phone number, email address, social links, etc.) I can maybe provide quite a bit of info on them. I will not say how.

But I would also ask what the end game is here?

he’s terrified of losing the house and senate in 11 months

This makes me think you’re a bot shilling hope that isn’t real

OMG NEW ECCO GAME

SadTech reporting in.

I could turkey quit all Meta platforms over a year ago and also forcibly block them at the router level…

…it’s easier than you think. The only thing I miss is my rural community group so I could see what was going on, but beyond that it’s whatever. I feel free.

Too little too late, canceled and never going back. I hope Spotify eventually trends to zero.

Fuck this place so much. I really hope when I can leave in about a year that it is even still possible.

I will gladly work my ass off and contribute taxes and community good will and everything to practically anywhere but this shithole.

It’s because protesting is useless.

Nothing changes until the billionaires and oligarchy fear for their life. It sucks, but it’s true.

Sadly, we won’t.

Fuck America, let them suffer, make them burn, especially the current administration.
