would you care to discuss the private details of your employers internal workings in a public forum or with a journalist then?

no?

you have no idea how luxury this belief is.

having been the guy fixing the third party's bugs at almost every position, i side with the parent.

software development generally is no longer a standard tax write-off; it has to be amortized now.

in the olden days of slashdot, this was addressed by decoupling "insightful" from "funny". you wouldn't get karma for being funny but you weren't punished for it either.

there is a world of difference between interacting with three people you don't know for an hour for the explicit purpose of stress testing your experience and knowledge and interacting with three people that you talk to every day talking about a project that is well familiar to you.

is it bad form to just like, ask your HR screener what the general dress code/vibe is like?

there's never backstory given, we're just supposed to automatically feel bad and never get to have a real story about why that decision is made.

this is less of a defense of ICE than more of a push for transparency so we don't have to deal with low information appeals to emotion.

woz $2 bill please
i just use a text editor plugin and use the auto-logging/search features. everything i ask any model in any workspace is searchable

Avante is much more active and polished at this point, but there's alternatives:

https://github.com/baketnk/l.nvim (self-shill, docs overhaul needed)

which was inspired by the original:

https://github.com/yacineMTB/dingllm.nvim

Also brand new from ggerganov: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.vim

dingllm is very straightforward, you submit your entire selection/buffer and it streams out to the current position. mine is a bit more complex with configurations, context management and so on.

The thing I always tell people is just roll your own. The docs are there, the LLM is there, use them. At the end of the day it's just an http call against text from your buffer to put text in a buffer.
