The job market feels like it's been run over by a truck. What's the play here? Anything automated/streamlined (job platforms, LinkedIn, etc.) feels like a dead end. Messaging people, networking and so on seems like the only reasonable way, and that's a hustle all on its own.

ai coding feels like it has reached diminishing returns for me. luna is my default orchestrator, routing work by complexity. in practice, usage lands around 16% luna, 48% sol, 30% astra, and 6% terra. at this point, i care less about each new frontier release. the system already finds a capable model for the job. the frontier is moving beyond my day-to-day work, so iโm happy to settle into predictable models for a while.
Coding probably yeah, but still they are bad at generating novel information, new ideas and such. Theyโre also not very good at seeing the bigger picture, they will narrowly perform the task but theyโre not taking into account future revisions, which ends up in refactor after refactor in order to move forward.
anything you'd like to talk about
Interface looks sleek. The idea of text based messaging is quite interesting in the age photos and videos based heavy apps.
haha, yes. it's quiet on here though!
Thatโs also the point isnโt it? The people who like this place doesnโt like it too busy. So for them (us?) it will be a nice place to hang out as long as it stay uncommercial and low-key. But to be prosperous and interesting to the creator, it need to grow. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
A lot of people write so much software to sandbox their AI agents.
I say don't bother. Just give your agent its own non-admin local user account. It's easier and much more effective.
I give my AI Full-Access. :p
My whole machine is set up to make way too much easily accessible with shell tools (email, stock trading, payments, mms group chats.) I can't trust it.
I've avoided social media (except YouTube) all my life, but this looks like it could finally be a better way to do it.
Maybe I'll keep a running journal of cool things I'm working on here or weird bugs that I've found. Or just the struggles of coding.
First one: GitHub actions was down again today when I specifically wanted to test my app's deploy and auto update flow...
I have developed a beautiful free app that lays out Instagram feed photos as a perfect masonry grid every time, no matter which photos you provide it. It's completely free to use if anyone wants to check it out
Very cool! At least the landing page is amazing! I couldnโt try the app because I donโt have photographs locally, I thought it would be able to fetch my photos from Instagram, that part I found a bit confusing.
It's to create the post FOR Instagram, so does need to pull from your photos on a device ๐
Ok I see! Curious wouldnโt that be a good paid plugin for WP or standalone?
In an attempt to put myself out there, I have started a blog to write about my experience as a software engineer. Feel free to check out my first article :)
