Not stopping coding altogether, but if I use AI the right way, then I can keep up my velocity while also taking time for manual programming projects alongside.

Good for you. Yeah skill atrophy is a real concern, and I'm afraid no matter how much I try to avoid it, there's a real and significant chance of that happening. I could look at it as similar to forgetting the syntaxes because I can look them up, but I think it's a lot more serious than that.

That would work if there is such a thing as justice in this world. The reality is that companies don't give a shit, and you'll be jobless clutching to your ideals. My compromise is that ok I'll use AI and deliver stuff for you, but I'll only do it in a way that benefits me as well. I won't lose my identity as a python developer to use your ai.

That's an interesting approach! I'll look into moth, thank you!

Glad to know there is somebody else sharing my feelings on this. Even with ai critical comments, there's still some great comments here. I cross posted this to experienced_devs and there a bunch of useful comments there as well.

I have 18 years of programming experience, this is not about not knowing how to code. It's about using a new technology effectively without losing your identity as a senior programmer. May be you have the ultimate say in your company, and can stave off agentic coding until the bubble bursts, but I don't have that luxury. Agentic coding has fucked up all output velocity expectations, so even if you don't use them, you're still expected to output at the new velocity, which would just about kill mj love for programming.

Is kiro platform agnostic, or tied into AWS? I'll check that out, thanks

Big as in an application with more than one scope. Yeah don't go by their marketing material. I hate the agentic coding trend, but I'm not losing my job by not being able to adopt to it. I already have a reputation of AI hater in my company lol.

At least it's better than just asking the agent to build something without any control over it, which is what a lot of junior devs are doing these days.

How is open spec for Greenfield apps? I've heard it's best suited for existing code. I'll try the 'in the future' heads up, thanks

It is 'leava all coding to agents', but at least it's 'leave most of the design control to me'. I was, and still am, and old style programmer yelling at AI to get off my lawn, but like any new technology, I'm trying to do my best to learn and make best use of it so that I grow as a developer even though it is meant to 'save money for the company'. It's here whether I like it or not, so I'making sure I don't lose my job because of it, while still being employable when it inevitably crashes to the ground.

I use speckit, and while I like the spec/clarify/plan/task/analyze/implement loop (although it can get a bit overwhelming at times), I don't like that I have to start with writing a spec and implement it to begin with. I am looking for a more of a design phase before the spec phase, where I can talk about the overall application architecture, and then start writing specs for implementing pieces of it.

For instance, let's say I want to build a github repo provisioner that 1. creates repos with desired setup, and 2. bulk edit repos with secret updates, yaml updates, etc. I don't want to build both the features at the beginning. I want to first build only the create portion, and then do the bulk edit feature later on. With speckit, I can do this by only telling it to create the spec for the build portion, but later if I want to build the bulk edit portion, the whole application might need to be changed in important places, because it wasn't a 'planned' feature when it was first designed. I want instead to have a design phase where I describe and maintain a doc with the whole application, and when I start the spec for the create portion, the agent can understand that this create portion is only part of a bigger application and can design/implement the create portion accordingly.

Have you come across a situation like this? how do you handle your big applications? Please advise.

Keeps alerting me to empty boxes of 'person' detected with 90+% confidence. So frustrated right now.

She's an only child, and we didn't grow up in America, so she's a bit naive on a lot of things. Her teacher advised us the other day that she's such a sweet girl, but middle school could be brutal for her because of that. What are some wholesome shows I can watch with her that helps her get ready for the world?

EDIT:

This is an astounding collection of shows. Thank you so much! We've started watching Amphibia, and really enjoying it so far. I'll add all these to the backlog. Thanks again!

Not sure where to post this, so here it goes.

Life

It must come to an end
For even though we lived a good one
It's time to go away


Remember the good times you had|
and all the fun you had
'cause it's time to go away


But if you have a strong friendship
you might remember them in your next life!
But sadly, it's time to go away

Designing a simple photo frame. I wanted to make it so that it prints without supports. While printing, however, the back support part wobbles/vibrates with movement, and is printing terribly.

Ender 3v3 CoreXZ, PolyTerra matte black filament, using the CR-PLA Matte profile in Creality Print 7. Tried printing at slow speeds, the issue still persists.

I've tried making the back support with only 45 degree angles (previously it was an x diagonal), made it thicker (from 0.75mm to 1.5mm). Nothing is working. Please find the stl and 3mf here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7281179).

Is this a printer issue, a model issue, or a slicer issue? Please advise.
