  • On the flip side, I think men could use more men’s groups because male loneliness is problematic. Women don’t want to feel responsible for men’s loneliness (rightly so), so the natural solution is men need to do better at making friends with men. The problem is doing it in a healthy way

    That said, I would suggest the solution is hobby groups without gender exclusion. Like carpentry, basketball, knitting, dance, ballet. Hobbies seem to self select.

    Most of my hobbies are female dominated in my conservative area.



  • I had a co-worker who wrapped every function generated by AI with try/except (discarding the error).

    The unit tests passed flawlessly!!! They also didn’t test anything at all

    I was livid. My boss was an idiot and I tried to explain the issue, but I got in trouble because I took too long to fix it. 1000 of lines of mangled shit.

    I just found a new job (got more pay too)












  • Ideally they’d compare time to write + time to fix. My experience is that if you use test driven development, LLM isn’t too bad. No worse than an intern.

    I think it comes down to who is using the LLM. I had a junior dev once “presumably” AI gen a ton of code (broken trash). Then to fix it, they wrapped each function in a try catch block that dropped the error. Unit tests were mocked out to the extent they didn’t test anything.

    When I use an LLM, I have tests and hard constraints on the LLM. It isn’t good enough to do everything, but it can generate about 80% of a simple app
