“Prompt Engineering”: AKA explaining to Chat GPT why it’s wrong a dozen times before it spits out a useable (but still not completely correct) answer.

That’s actually a valid skill to know when to tell the AI that it’s wrong.

A few months ago, I had to talk to my juniors to think critically about the shitty code that AI was generating. I was getting sick of clearly copy-pasted code from chatGPT and the junior not knowing what the fuck they were submitting to code review.

Should start asking them like, why did you do this? Why did you chose this method? To make them sweat :p

sheepishly ,

pineapplelover ,

Might add Duckduckgoing or web searching

When I interviewed junior devs for my team, I had zero theoretical questions, and only two coding questions which were basically code that had to be debugged, and once it was running, for them to implement some minor things that I asked them to implement. I said I don’t mind if they googled, I only wanted them to share their screens while they worked, so that I can see how they worked and how they googled/adapted the answers to their code. I interviewed over a dozen people ranging from freshers to 4 yoe, and you should see how terrible they were at googling. Out of all them, only one fresher came close to being good in the interview. Even ‘4 yoe’ devs who ‘spearheaded’ various projects sucked at basic python and googling.

To be fair you could call this "search optimisation" and the people on Linkedin would eat this up

Holy shit, this guy only Google searches with {google:baseURL}/search?udm=14&q=%s

“I’ve got 10 years of googling experience”.

“Sorry, we only accept candidates with 12 years of googling experience”.

Holy hell!

With misinformation about and how shit Google search is lately, it’s definitely a skill worth learning.

"I used to be able to Google like you, but then they changed what Google was and now what I can do doesn't work, and what you have to do seems weird and scary to me."

I used to google onions, because it was the style at the time

Pistcow ,

For reals. I never bookmarked anything as I’d just regoogle what I was looking for but as of six months ago I can’t find shit. It’s like it never existed and all I get is spam websites that’s are skinned to looks genuine. I’m honestly going back to Askjeeves.com…

Try DuckDuckGo - I believe its selling point is that it is not as bad as Bing.:-)

phdepressed ,

It’s Bing without tracking. And the things like quotation marks still work. However, baseline search using it has still gone to shit.

Did it used to be better? I rarely if ever used it before Google’s enshittification, but now I’m just happy to find streaming services whatever I need.

If it is any consolation, a good chunk of those bookmarks would lead to deadlinks or domains bought by someone else.
