<p>My experience is Claude and others are good at writing methods and smaller because you can dictate what it should do in less tokens and easily read the code. This closes the feadback loop for me.<p>I occasionally ask AI to write lots of code such as a whole feature (>= medium shirt size) or sometimes even bigger components of said feature and I often just revert what it generated. It's not good for all the reasons mentioned.<p>Other times I accept its output as a rough draft and then tell it how to refactor its code from mid to senior level.<p>I'm sure it will get better but this is my trust level with it. It saves me time within these confines.<p>Edit: it is a valuable code reviewer for me, especially as a solo stealth startup.</p>

<p>As a stealth ceo of a profitable SaaS. This is a nice reminder for my company to wind down its relationship with OpenAI. I have no doubt Anthropic will eventually become evil but at least they have a backbone today.<p>Goodbye Sam.<p>Edit: Also, referring to the DOD as the Department of War is cringe.</p>

<p>Killing engineer teams? Hyperbole thread titles need to be killed. I find github actions to be just fine. I prefer it to bitbucket and gitlab.</p>

<p>So the plea in abeyance will show up. I was fed the same line of shit by courts. My misdemeanor, from 2016 was a plea in abeyance. I was told no crimes for a year and it's like it didn't happen. Easy, done. And guess what? Mine was also in Utah. Hello South Salt Lake City.<p>Fast forward to a few months ago, it came up on the background check. You have to understand the charge shows up and its possible that the plea shows up. Mine did.<p>The big difference is mine came up for a Public Trust background check with the federal government. So maybe they can go a bit deeper than a FAANG? I am sitting in limbo 5 months into this job still not knowing if I'll be canned at any second. I had to do a full interview with an agent with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). They even brought up stuff that was from beyond the 7 year window I had to declare.<p>If anyone knows what my chances are with that I'd love to hear. As a Public Trustee and not touching any sensitive data I'd hope they are lien-ant for a non-violent, non-drug offender like myself.<p>For you. If it comes up. I'd have the media report present to prove it was an illegal act of activism and not showing TRUE criminal intent. But I wouldn't try to sweep what you did under the rug either.</p>

<p>AA is great. It saved my Dad's life. For a while, I was going too. Ultimately I began drinking again and things are much better now. I also know that if things ever get rough for me I can rely on AA. Really great group of non-judgmental people in there. As an agnostic, the "God" stuff wasn't a problem for me, it's pretty light and on your own terms.</p>
