Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

this guy seems like a series of red flags. i got burned out of academia working for a really useless guy who had no handle on how to manage his group or teach us how to do the work etc. he liked to make "toy models" of problems his students were having instead of learning to contribute, which always had the feel of what vibe coding now provides. if you're not anathema to it, it would probably wise to find a more emotionally stable advisor.
