Give it a a try I am sure It will be perfect for you since you are not into full blown development.  
 -> You won't have to set up environments and update packages

Not a techie but like to code small things like crawlers or something in pandas, mostly python.

Have installed Conda recently to help with setting up environments which don’t conflict with others projects.

But most of the time I spend in ensuring my environment is right.

Also what’s with upgrading python, I usually upgrade everything as soon as the updates come, now I’ve realised it’s better to use the older version until all other libraries you’re using have adapted to the latest version.

How much time do you guys spend in getting your environment right? Or is it just me who thinks it’s unnecessarily complicated

Thanks to ChatGPT at least to reduce my time in troubleshooting but still it has info only till 2021

Help me write  a reddit post explaining my concern:

Hi guys! I have done my gradutation in BE Computer Engineering (2023 batch)

Did not get a job on campus as i was on a long holiday trip for a few months during placements when most companies came.

I am from a covid batch ,spent 2.5 years of semesters at home (5 sems) and i didnt gain any skills during my whole engineering like trust me ( all i knew was syntax of html,c++ and python i even doubt if i knew this lol) 

My group members had made our final project ,ekdum complex ML project (mera usme daane bhar ka bhi contribution nahi tha)

So didnt find a job on campus... 

next phase:

Tried gaining some skills handson basic skills ( i did but literally nothing compared to what a engineer graduate should know,gained skills which people probably gain in first sem)

Next phase:

Couldnt find a job, Did this course called CDAC (Center for development of advanced computing) from pune ,it was almost a 6month long course ,learned full stack there with hands on( JAVA,SPRINGBOOT,REACT,SOME DEVOPS TOOLS, C#,.net) stuff like this.....

They too had  campus placements,found one job but too low pay (which was fine) but also was wayy far from my home (mumbai) and it was in hyderabad for 4lpa + 3 years of bond ,didnt go for it.

Was not allowed to sit for placements further as i rejected the offer.

next phase:

Spent 1.5 months at home,Didnt really apply for jobs(just one day lol)

Started prepping for GATE

Found out my sister's friend has a startup , a well known startup in the edtech area (around 10 years old) Quite a good startup ,good funds and self sustained ,they have kept a very small tech team like 30-40 max

So anyway i get a call , i send my resume, 1-2 weeks later I go down to their office ,they ask me how good and familiar i am with AI TOOLS ,first i thought they were asking about AI algos(like linear regression n all) but ya i told them I use chatgpt's 4o version

Unhealthy ChatGPT usage destroying my career in the long run?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Content and marketing folks are pretty much using ChatGPT all the time now. Wondering if coders and operation folks are also using it for work or not.

I've started trying long form content generation where tokens are spent repeatedly until the task is complete using code interpreter. Maybe autogpt would be better suited for in depth work. Anyone here using autogpt by any chance?

Do you use code interpreter for your tasks?

Generalist

I am looking for a plug-and-play solution to build an MVP of an app. I need the MVP ready within 2 weeks, even if it lacks extensive backend functionality and uses pre-fed dummy data.

A bit about the app: it takes input from users, saves it, learns from it, and suggests solutions based on the input. The MVP doesn't need to have a paywall or a fully-fledged backend.

Please keep in mind that I do not extensively code, but occasionally work with python and R. 

Really appreciate the help.

Any plug and play solution for building MVP of an app?

Product Head

Hi everyone.

I wanted to know how much average time do you take to complete a task. Obviously it depends on many factors like difficulty of task, years of experience, command over that language, etc.

Also If you are a fresher, then what should be the average time and how to improve task completion?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

It has been long I have coded. Was into tech that seems to be outdated now. What is the best way to brush up and learn relevant coding skills.

Brush up coding skills - Python

Investor

With the encouraging developments, I wanted to crowdsource the best use cases so that I can utilize it even better

For me: 
1) Personal: Using it for movies. My prompt is typically: What genre film I want, what are films in that genre I like, they should be produced after year 2005, and they should have a rotten tomatoes audience score above 85%. It works beautifully well. Some of the best movies I'd never discovered.

2) Work: Building draft replies and being able to save them to Text Blaze. Stuff like "Not interested" or "Set up meeting" (which automatically includes my Calendly link etc.). Makes going past inbox very smooth. 

Curious to hear from the rest of you :)

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Is there anyone here who is into Generative AI testing or development as part of the job role? 
The LLMs today are at best generic question answering machine. The answers are not deterministic. How do you think would these be deployed at scale?

Generative AI testing or development?

Hey everyone, happy to answer any questions around Data Science/ML/AI and making a career within it

A brief about me, I work currently as a Sr. ML Engineer at an Indian unicorn startup 
I graduated 5+ years ago and have since worked as a Data Scientist / ML Engineer at an ecommerce company and social media company. My designations have changed based on the industry requirements and work too changed based on that.

Would love to take questions on what it means to be an ML Engineer, my early learnings from a career in data science, and thoughts on AI.

Look forward to all questions :)

They are suggesting that I buy all ai bullshit premiums.

And my teammates think that chat gpt can write a fully fledged application.

Just trying to understand what is the dev environment for people on Grapevine.

What do you use for coding?

Growth Manager

I work at a fintech company..
We have a engineering team of 35 dev which includes around 10 senior devs and the remaining are interns and junior devs..

we got called for a productivity improvement meeting by one of the senior developer and he just denied chatgpt for us..

Okay I’am biased here.. 
I agree we need to embrace new technologies..
But his point was to use chatgpt promts to write all of our code and it makes no sense..

He demoed chatgpt promts and was like “ see you don’t need to write a single line of code “

When we told we should not solely depend on tools such as copilot or chatgpt as it will not help  us as well as the interns and the junior devs..

You code to learn .. you don’t learn to code ..
Just by copy pasting code snippets for chatgpt will take them nowhere and I’m pretty sure it will confuse them even more ..

What do you guys feel ?

Just want to know how much technical is the PM's on GV. PM's need not code but are you a technically comfortable prod man if you haven't transitioned from comp sci / engg background.

PM's which end of spectrum do you fall into?

Associate Product Manager

Hi Grapeviners,
I would like to hear some suggestions on what should I do next.
I am an non-IT engineering graduate, got into an MNC (witch) for 3.5LPA, was onboarded for a support role after clearing all mandatory  trainings and tests, where majority of my work revolves around filling Excel sheets and scheduling support calls.
After a lots of struggle I was relieved from that project(after 1year 5 months). After that I joined a python automation script development team

My current python team is going very well, i get to dirty my hands with code in python.
It's been 6months in python team. Over all 2years spend in same company, when I try to switch for other company, I feel like I'm no where close to their requirements, my only skill is python application automation using respective modules, with months of experience.

Most of the roles I see are having different different combinations of tools and technologies. 

I also know medium level DSA.

Please suggest what should I do so that I can switch companies.

What should I do after being in support role?

I will go first
I have 5 YoE . I have not written new code since many weeks. Usually i have been working on fixing issues. 
This is the reason i want to know how much time people spend on writing new code .

As a Software developer, can you mention your YoE and how much time you spend coding (writing new code)?

I’m planning to switch to AI/ML. Anyone here who have done this personally or know how one can achieve this? Would really appreciate any suggestions.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

To all the devs (working professionals and students), how much do you rely on ChatGPT for your code? Do you explicitly use it to generate code logic, or only use it for debugging? 

Plus, do you think that the newer generation of students might miss out on the essence of programming with the advent of ChatGPT?

Reliance on ChatGPT

The lack of critical thinking these days is driving me nuts. I've got a few people on my team who've somehow BS'd their way into roles they can't handle. They can't do anything that takes more than a minute of actual thought.

It's like all I get is copy-pasted ChatGPT output for the simplest questions. Makes me seriously worried about how they will get better over time (as a lot of us did).
We're churning out folks who can't think for themselves, and it's scary as hell.

Concerned by junior devs being over reliant on Chatgpt

Hello peeps. I need genuine advise. 

I am a Talent Acquisition professional in startup with  2 yrs of experience. However, I want to switch in the tech field. I am skilled in Python   DSA and SQL. How are chances for me to get hired in tech?? What roles should I apply for?? My location is Pune.
