Hadn't taken stats or a single CS course. I used what I had taught myself and fixed a urgent problem in the field letting us finish our research.
Btw the app crashed because the student who wrote it had graduated and the excel functions broke everything since the license expired
Freshmen year of college, in Kenya doing a research project. Data collection app is crashing preventing us for analyzing our data we need for tomorrow. Downloaded Python and pandas and handwrote aggregation and analysis (pre-AI)
i found the optimal first interview question, difficulty: impossible
tell me about one concrete action in your career, in a way where I can understand why it is impressive given what you knew at the time. use as few words as possible
so much work is fake. We're writing documents about how we're going to do the work, what the work will be, how the reports will be done, basically everything except just doing the work.
Makes me tired of working for others.
When I work for myself, I can just do the things
@nebulimes basically depends on how you start lane. I typically push lane hard at the start, stealing their camp and boxes as soon as possible to get an edge. If you can do that, then one person can usually hold lane down while you roam.
anyone got a list of AI-isms in UI/UX so I can give my agent a list of what not to do? Like those colored left hand borders, status bubbles, all caps eyebrow text, etc. I could make my own but I'm sure there are obvious things I'd miss.
@xrpant you hiring remote at all? I've got experience and motivation (been programming since a kid making Minecraft mods and now making fullstack apps)
Put your identity in Christ. You are not your job, your hobbies, or your family. If you're identity is in something fallable then you'll end up hopeless when you lose that thing
couple of my best software engineering buddies are really struggling lately
over their career they’ve really made their identity being the person who knows deeply about programming
because of LLMs they’re feeling a identify crisis and struggling to adapt
:/
There's a free tool + ai workflow for basically every field. Forget 100x engineer, I'm a 100x everything
Doop dot design for Figma like graphic design
SolidCraft or Steve/VibeCAD for CAD
TSCircuit stuff for EE
Looking for a good video editor with AI (not headless)
apparently you can predownload gta vi and the PS5 firmware needed to run the game was just cracked. i think we're actually going to have a playable version before the release date thanks to someone with a million claude instances lmao
@LukeDiebold@adamwathan@timefoschoo I use Cursor but not the projects. What kind/size of projects are you working on to need cloud agents though? Or are you running fairly small tasks with then and just like the ability to use them from anywhere?
Doing some local development the last couple of days and having to worry about the agents stopping when I shut my laptop feels absolutely insane, how the hell does anyone live like this?
Use cloud agents.
@adamwathan@timefoschoo I swear cloud dev is gonna be looked at like cloud hosting in 2-3 years.
Why pay for a box connected to the internet with worse specs than the one I have at home that already has my dev environment setup and that I fully own?
I've been saying this for like a year. I was writing code and "doing work" while in the kitchen, while driving, while waiting for my wife to get out of class.
I have more free time now then ever (and yet more side projects and interests too)
My startup founder life now
08:00 - 08:30: see what my agents did over night, give them feedback
08:30 - 10:00 eat and play with kids
10:00 - 16:30: doing construction work outside
16:30-17:00 review agents and give them feedback
17:00-21:00 play football/tennis & family time
21:00-23:00 deep agent session to make them busy for entire night
23:00-23:30 sexy time
23:30-sleep
My life has never felt more balanced, thx to all people inventing ai and all VCs backing it and researchers and everyone involved, I love you all.
