[2026-01-30 06:04] traves_theberge: I was expecting them to give me a problem and natural language and and I would write it out and talk through it. [2026-01-30 06:04] traves_theberge: But nah. [2026-01-30 06:07] traves_theberge: Then I had to take that same function for a ERP platform that couldn’t be modified. And find a way to add a ai function which I came up with a message broker method and then to the ai then to the database. Which they were impressed with but they did comment on my ability to modify syntax… I mean shit. What do you want from me!! lol 😂 [2026-01-30 06:08] traves_theberge: But it was a good interview, will I get the job?! No clue. But it was my first whiteboard interview ever [2026-01-30 06:09] traves_theberge: Roo shill lol 😂 [2026-01-30 06:09] traves_theberge: Just kidding, I really hope you get that job Lisa !! [2026-01-30 06:10] traves_theberge: And also let’s work on that Lisa loop! 🔁 and find a way to implement in Roo [2026-01-30 06:12] traves_theberge: Yeah it’s a tough one if you don’t have a CS degree or experience raw dogging syntax. Like I told them I wouldn’t use pseudocode, I would write comments and derive a Plan from them then walk through the functions and data models. [2026-01-30 06:12] traves_theberge: Yup. Aced that. [2026-01-30 06:15] traves_theberge: But like Richard said it’s not about syntax it’s about logic and breaking down problems [2026-01-30 06:18] ajaxdavis: who uses vb [2026-01-30 06:23] xenonfun: WAY TOO MANY PLACES. I was just recounting to Lisa about how I had to fix up VB6 stuff, had written crazy shit in it for a decade, editor SUCKS so bad. At time was amazing. [2026-01-30 06:25] xenonfun: granted stuff works, people put millions into OCX controlls didnt want to spend on replacement libraries, I keept a bunch of old shit running like that for long time because someone didn't want to shell out $500 on updated libraries. [2026-01-30 06:51] traves_theberge: ERPs with legacy code, some of their products still use cobol **gulp** [2026-01-31 04:45] traves_theberge: https://github.com/snwfdhmp/awesome-ralph [2026-01-31 07:14] lisamegawatts: https://www.agent-of-empires.com/ [2026-01-31 09:49] traves_theberge: They take everything from us 💀 lol your idea is better than that though [2026-01-31 09:50] traves_theberge: lol [2026-01-31 09:59] traves_theberge: https://github.com/deepclause/agentvm [2026-01-31 13:57] ajaxdavis: https://x.com/rauchg/status/2017423825152184772 [2026-01-31 14:26] ajaxdavis: https://phage-explorer.org/ [2026-02-02 16:17] traves_theberge: <@1211062099137265723> (files: 1769749277730.png) [2026-02-02 16:17] traves_theberge: <@806444151422976035> [2026-02-02 16:18] traves_theberge: Fast and Slow [2026-02-02 16:20] foxhop.: it's such a spectrum, depending on the model, the harness, the tool call, the topology, the access to physical hardware
