My coworker's lack of knowledge is starting to affect my work

Hey all, just wanted to get your insight on this situation.

I’m a frontend developer working with React. Recently, we got a new backend developer. I had been working with our oldest backend developer, who is great to work with, but I was recently assigned to a new project where I have to work with this new developer.

She’s been with the company for about three months now, and the thing is, she doesn’t seem to know what she’s doing.

A week ago, she was taking way too long on a simple request, and she told me, “Hehe, AI isn’t able to solve this. Give me more time.” That was the first red flag for me because it was a really simple task.

A couple of days later, the same thing happened. She was taking hours on a small change, so I ended up giving her an AI prompt explaining what needed to be done. She came back five minutes later and told me she had fixed it.

The problem now is that she’s constantly coming to my office asking me if I can give her the AI prompt for whatever change I’m requesting.

I don’t know what to do at this point. I feel like this isn’t fair because I’m basically doing her job for her, but I also don’t want to be the person who goes to the manager and calls her out. She could potentially lose her job, and I don’t want that to happen because of me.

Should I talk to my manager about it?

The biggest issue is that it’s starting to bottleneck my own work. On top of that, I have to constantly come up with prompts for her, and she makes some pretty bad mistakes because she doesn’t really understand the context of what she’s building.

How would you guys handle this situation?

I liked Galaxy buds 4 pro, but they don't have multi point, what are the alternatives?

I went to Rtings, and Galaxy Buds beat or pair with the higher-end buds out there. I tried Sony MX6 and Technics AZ100, but Galaxy still sounds way better, and I liked the ANC more on the Galaxy. My only issue with them is that they don't support multipoint; otherwise, they would have been the best buds in my opinion. What other buds can I test that also have multipoint and probably compete with these?

It drained it self what should I do ?

I've been living with my pilonidal cyst for some years now, as I dislike operations. Anyway, today after my morning bath and getting dressed, I felt my pants were a little wet. When I checked the area, it was exactly where my cyst is. There was some liquid, very light pink, almost transparent. It seems like it drained itself after so many years. I don't feel any pain or any symptoms in general. I just want to ask how I should clean it. Can I work out today?

C++ Development in the Terminal on Windows

Hey all,

I’m a full-stack developer, and recently I’ve become interested in learning C++. My main IDE is Neovim, so I mostly work from the terminal.

I’m planning to learn C++ to build Windows programs, so I’ll be using Windows and the Windows command line. I’m aware of WSL, but I specifically need to build in a Windows environment.

My question is: what is the best way to set up C++ projects and run them quickly with simple commands?

What is everyone using for this workflow? I’ve seen CMake, but from studying how Visual Studio and CLion do things, it looks like they keep adding every new file to the CMakeLists.txt. I find that a bit tedious, but I’m wondering if that’s just what everyone does: create a file, then manually add it to CMakeLists.txt.

Basically, I want to understand the workflow of people who use C++ mostly from the terminal. I don’t need anything super fancy since I’m still in the learning stage.

Thanks!

Hey, I bought a Herman Miller Embody around 2 weeks ago (total cost $1708 before anyone asks, lol). I replaced my $50 chair with this. While I tested it in the store, it was super comfortable. I bought it mostly for after work (I'm a software engineer). I spend 8 hours there in a chair and then come home to do some gaming/coding, and I'm starting to feel lower back pain. I have followed multiple tutorials on how to adjust it, but I'm still experiencing pain. I use it probably 1 to 3 hours a day. My question is, do I need some time to get used to it? Has anyone gone through this and is now happy with the chair? I'm just worried about it not improving and being outside the return window.

Hello! About one month ago, I had some cavities filled, and they kept my mouth open for three hours. After the procedure, and for the next two days, everything was normal, but on the third day, I experienced really strong pain in my jaw when I tried to open it. I was about to cry at the office, so I called my dentist right away to get it checked. She told me that I didn’t have an infection, but that my jaw was locked. She mentioned that it’s not common, but it does happen. She gave me some wooden tongue depressors and instructed me to try to open my jaw gradually. I went from using nine at once to 14, but the pain is very annoying, and I can’t even eat in peace. All I am eating is soup—if I want rice with chicken, I have to throw it into the blender.

My issue is that it doesn’t seem to be getting better. Is that normal? When I say I went from nine to 14 sticks, it’s because I pushed myself to force it open, but normally, I can comfortably handle nine.

Hey! I’ve been using Neovim for full-stack development (React/Node), but I’m about to start learning C++. I was wondering what the standard workflow is in Neovim, since most C++ videos seem to use Visual Studio. How do you run code, format it, and which LSP is best?
