Oracle’s new CFO got \$26M in stock after layoffs. Employee says an ‘algorithm’ targeted workers with stock options first (r/technology)

• QuantityInfinite8820: Getting laid off just before stock vesting season was a common scam for years. Nothing new.
• HeggyMe: How is firing employees who are close to vesting legal even? Isn’t this a slam dunk case of discrimination?
• VonVader: An algorithm?!? They didn’t simply have a spreadsheet of employees with options.

‘I feel helpless’: college graduates can’t find entry-level roles in shrinking market amid rise of AI (r/technology)

• blow-down: Meanwhile my manager copies any question someone asks him into Copilot and then pastes the answer verbatim into Teams. He makes \$200k a year. Make this shit make sense.
• Highlandgamesmovie: Ai??? It’s called greedy corporations keeping profits higher than ever while cutting labour to do it.
• well-informedcitizen: Can we please keep questioning this narrative that AI has already started stealing jobs, when nothing has come back except underwhelming results and failure

Data from 120k API calls across 2 machines proves Anthropic silently downgraded cache TTL from 1h → 5m on March 6th, this is why your quota usage exploded in March (r/ClaudeCode)

• AllCowsAreBurgers: Amazing how a multi-billion dollar company can fuck up this badly. No tests and no monitoring apparently. Just a bunch of apes yoloing infra with their own coding agents and it shows
• Chinse: This was found back in the leak. Ant employees had 1h cache, everyone else had 5 min
• snow_schwartz: According to the docs “By default, the cache has a 5-minute lifetime” so your investigation sounds good but perhaps not your conclusion. Maybe the 1hr TTL was the bug the whole time.

Finally happened to me and my colleagues. Seeing severely degraded performance. (r/ClaudeCode)

• TJohns88: Yep, it’s been absolutely lobotomized. Opus 4.6 on Max effort and it still can’t follow simple instructions without implementing dangerous bugs. Infuriating. Codex is ~5x better currently
• Deep_Ad1959: the lack of communication is what kills trust, not the degradation itself. every tool has bad weeks.
• SuitableLeather: Yes it is abysmal. I am spending hours going in circles and burning credits because it is overriding its own previous code that worked on pages completely different than the ones I’m asking it to fix. Fucking ridiculous

Full Root Cause Analysis vs. “It works now” – when do you draw the line? (r/cscareerquestions)

• shinglee: It depends where you work and the engineering culture. At my current job – literally never. If anyone puts up a PR without showing a convincing understanding of the issue they get called out immediately.
• lrascao: Always RCA, learn something to prevent it happen again and amortize the cost in the long run
• gringo_escobar: It depends on how impactful the issue was. If it’s high-impact then definitely do an RCA to prevent it from happening again. If it’s a minor issue then time box it and move on if you can’t figure it out

Venture Studio that recruited me wants to charge \$20k/mo in service fees. I will not promote. (r/startups)

• Ruckus55: If they didnt disclose \$20k in fees out of the gate, what else are they hiding? Can you negotiate? Go more a la carte?
• mdas: Coming from someone who worked for many years at a studio, that deal is nonsensical. The way its structured makes it impossible to raise follow on funding, and a \$240k/year service fee is highway robbery.
• Sad-Background-2295: Move on, it’s a total money grab and I’m seeing more and more of these types of startups …

Are AI tools actually making you too productive to switch off? (r/OpenAI)

• Freed4ever: It is addictive since the reward loop is so quick. And also, there is a use-it-or-lose-it mentality with the subscription. However, there will be burnouts. Constant context switching has its toll.
• Intrepid_Dare6377: Same. There is something addictive about it. In particular I find myself wanting to make sure that Claude is always working on something. If it’s idling, waiting on me, I feel like it’s lost time.
• TXFin: I call work “Robo-simming” now. Flight sim is one of my big hobbies, but agentic AI has become more fun resulting in me flying a lot less. Instead of flight simming I am robo simming.

Vibecoders ARE the FUTURE. (Blind)

• zjshdhxjjx: Not knowing coding language was never a barrier. Its knowing what to build, how to build and where to look when things go wrong. That is still the same. So IMHO nothing has changed.
• UqPT65: I’ll raise you one and say AI agents that code are the future.
• skykomish: Two separate tracks. For POCs, yes, vibe-coding. For robust production code, way more human involvement.
