Can’t you just disable sleep on close? Fuckin noobs
Updated with correct link
Absolute tech jank, indicative of people who don’t know what they’re doing.
So many comments about the power settings thing, but this isn’t about working effectively and efficiently.
You can take AI out of this article and it would be just as sad, but it wouldn’t get the clicks.
This article is either helping push, or documenting the push, that if YOU are a higher tier of worker bee that wants to prove your superior worth to your bound legal entity, AND you want to virtue signal having your head on straight to all the lazy selfish people around you actually being present in the moment, then YOU need ShinyTechBroProduct!
Ohhh all the cool parents are into ShinyTechBroProduct! All the other lame asses who PaId AtTeNtiOn To tHeiR KiDs aren’t going to be the next Elon Jobs now are they!
How do so many tech people not know about the power settings that can let the laptop run 100% even with the lid closed and on battery power?
Like, how stupid are they? Has AI really atrophied their tech skills that much?
You can literally just tell the AI to disable sleep settings ,this is beyond stupid, they aren’t even running the actual LLMs on the laptops so it doesn’t even matter
Stupid enough to do AI slop, stupid enough to not know how to disable the lid actions
I mean honestly if you asked any AI, with relevant OS info, first thing it would tell you is how to configure your laptop to suppress lid off action.
dumbass who refuses to learn does dumbass shit that takes seconds to fix. sounds about right.
Can’t you just run the agent remotely? 🤔
They would have to know something about technology
Wow, that was quick to have vibe “coders” not understanding how a operating system works.
To be fair, often times coders are horrible system admins. Heck Torvalds famously runs Fedora because he found installing Debian too confusing.
Is that why I make a pretty decent sysadmin? Because I’m a terrible coder? 😅
It’s easy to lose track of time with these tools, he told Business Insider. Soon enough, the girls’ practice has ended, and the parents flood into the changing room. He joins them — with his laptop ajar, so that the AI agent can keep running.
“I have to put it up on a shelf,” he said. “I’m untying my girls’ skates while looking back like: Is it done?”
I just feel bad for these poor kids. You can’t leave your goddamn Claude at home while you take your kids to the rink?
When your boss ranks you based on the number of tokens you burn, there’s no choice.
Ohoho, I know exactly how to burn a silly amount of tokens if I want to, which is why that metric is absolutely garbage - arguably worse than ranking developer performance by SLOC committed.
If your metric is usage, it is incredibly easy to game, just send agents on wild goose chases all day long and never accept the results.
Part of the scoring at my company is how many generated lines of code you accept.
Going back to the beginning of the year, I think I’m up to 6
Have it write all of your logging code for you, it may be inaccurate but it is the least damaging place to take the hit as you can just manually search in the source code for where the print was from. They always do something stupid and non uniform making most statements traceable indirectly.
He’s a product head at an AI company, as per the article. He is a boss.
While I agree, Every boss, has a boss. Even the CEO’s have bosses.
Only if the company is publicly traded
Until you get to Mambino, the boss of bosses!
Utterly pointless thread. Drivel. Change your power settings so that you can close the screen and have the machine “do nothing”.
Is this the level of content that is deemed worthy these days? Literally a non-story.
You are expecting the people who rely this heavily on AI to know how to actually use a computer?
It’s an ad. You were reading an ad.
caffeinate -dcloses laptop lid
It’s not running a local model anyway, why would you need to run anything local. If you’re that careless, just deploy EC2 with headless claude and whatnot, and let it
drop your production databasedo it’s thing.
This is just another ad for AI. Gotta keep that mindshare up!
Looks like anti-ad to me. Wonder how much these guys got paid to be clowned around like that for the entire internet to see.
It’s also an ad for Business insider. This link is paywalled.
Weird. It let me in, no problem.

They’d have to know how to use a computer to know that…
And if they knew how to use a computer, they wouldn’t be using AI to do their job.
A big thing no one is talking about, is how each worker’s goal here isn’t to build a fully functioning thing, it’s to make something “good enough” that it gets off your desk and is no longer your problem. It doesn’t matter if the “creator” knows how it works or even if it works. Just enough to get a rubber stamp from your manager, then they move on to a new one.
Since most “AI coders” will just keep typing “try again” till it works, eventually they’ll get something that “works”, we won’t fully realize the damage for a while
But pretty soon shit is going to start breaking all over and no one will know how to fix it besides typing into an AI “try again”. No corp or government will pay humans to start over with something maintainable…
And this is the most boring way possible we get to War Hammer 40k
The number of large scale 4the party outages in the last year or ves this is already happening.
Just a reminder that real devs are using AI, and even vibe coding because the alternative is unemployment. I agree with the sentiment, though.
Tmux/screen foreign concepts
I remember being a young intern and a senior dev taught me about screen. It was cool and I immediately forgot how to use it.
