Thanks, it’s interesting to read your thoughts on this.
If you were a Jr entering the job market now, and have management encouraging vibe coding because they want quick results, how would you go about getting the experience and building the right skillset?
why would I hire someone at all?
AI doesn’t get everything right, and you need someone capable of validating that and pivoting it in the right direction. But also AI cannot currently do everything, so you need someone to fill those areas. Where I work there is a push to engage with AI more, probably to train it.
So why would I hire you over anyone else?
This is like any other job really, people aren’t hired based purely on their skillset, but other factors too such as their capability to learn, their personality, will they mesh well with the existing team, have they got drive to make things better, do they have soft skills to position themselves to become better, is the person adaptable - are they able to use new technology to their advantage or are they stubborn and stuck in their old ways?
I want to be in a position to know and understand all the fundamentals, but is the bar for what is considered fundamental shifting? Once upon a time those who were writing low level code would have said what they do are the fundamentals, but as time went on we got new levels of coding and so knowing how to write low level code is no longer a required skill.
Apologies if I’ve misunderstood what you’re trying to say. But thanks for responding, these kinds of discussions are helpful.
I’ve been a Jr coming up to two years. When working on tasks I have a rough idea of what I want to achieve and some steps on the way there, but don’t know how to actually implement it. I’ve found using copilot useful to fill in some of the gaps and give me ideas and direction.
I’m concerned that there are skills I am missing out on developing, but at the same time if AI is being pushed so heavily is it not something I should lean into to be better equipped in working with it?
Don’t associate microwaves with AI… The microwave has very viable uses!
I usually chuck a potato in the microwave for like a few minutes before finishing it off in the air fryer. Get that fluffy inside and crispy outside in less than 30 mins, whereas oven cooking it in foil would take an hour plus. Same results but quicker.
If I’m hyper critical of anything the AI puts out, not accepting it as gospel and turn whatever crap it gives me into a working solution, is that vibe coding as well?
I’m with you on this. I prefer important conversations that require me to make a decision or remember something in writing. Just general conversation about what you got up to on weekend? Fine let’s talk it out.
I understand so many more people prefer verbal communication because it’s easier for them to not have to type or put their thoughts into written words. I just wish more of them understood that it’s not the same for everyone and come to a compromise.
I bought a £6 metal one, it’s only a small one as I still have plenty of mobility. I imagine if you have a bad back or reduced mobility you’d want a longer one. I think the brand was called Zomake? I bought it many years ago, it’s still in great condition apart from the logo wearing off.
I know I may seem old for saying this, but I highly recommend getting a decent metal shoehorn. Makes putting on shoes a breeze, and no need to wreck your fingers or do that foot-heel pumping thing. The backs of my trainers last so much longer now too!
I didn’t, but should I ever feel the need to try it I have already watched the tutorial video.
My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.
You’re right, DNA wouldn’t make someone a pianist. But natural talent is considered a set of abilities people are born with that enables them to achieve success. It could provide the person with the right kind of hands, dexterity, hearing, and aptitude for learning piano to be a better pianist than someone without those things. That is what could be considered “natural talent.”
There is merit in practice, but natural talent is very real. One person could spend years practicing something that someone else picks up and surpasses that person in a year.
I believe the initial intention was that it was going to be a live service game, where they would add more content and cosmetics over time and continue to support it, but after the backlash of their monetisation method (after people had already purchased the game) they got it to a 1.0 state and moved on to I’m guessing Monster Train 2.
It’s a shame because Inkbound had an interesting foundation there and I believe they could have figured out a better model to keep the game alive.
I got some good hours out of Inkbound, but something rubbed me the wrong way about how they handled it. It’s as though following backlash on their monetisation they decided to wrap the game up and push it out the door and essentially abandon the game.
I loved MT, and that’s why I grabbed Inkbound, but I’m optimistically cautious about MT2. The demo for MT2 was great, I’ll just have to wait and see.
When I first joined Lemmy as part of the semi-great API migration it seemed quite empty, but it does feel like it has slowly grown, unfortunately I’m finding following Trump getting in I can’t scroll without seeing tons of Trump/Musk posts. Doesn’t matter how many things I block it is neverending. I just want to go back to when we were just here to have fun, not constantly be reminded as to what is happening across the pond.
Ahhh that finally explains why the spiders have items on them when you kill them
How about capping the amount they can earn above their lowest paid employee? For them to rise they have to take everyone with them
Thanks for the description, I hate it just as much as the order of the panels in the picture.
I joined Lemmy during the Reddit API change. It was pretty dead on Lemmy but communities were forming and I could have discussions with others, it felt promising. But sadly the reality now is it feels like Lemmy is becoming an echo chamber like Reddit was and conversations are stifled.
In addition to this some people immediately engage others in a negative way, where someone may be misinformed or misunderstood, and rather than offer knowledge or insight they are called fucking idiots.
It doesn’t feel like a community.
