I would have liked the article to address more specifically what skills will be needed in the future and how engineers of all levels will learn them. Senior engineers in my circle …

It's quad cab only though, unlike the S10 or O.G. Ranger.

We should brace ourselves to find less and less satisfaction from the process as we become more comfortable embracing AI. At least, that's what the first chapter in the evolution o…

Author sounds like they are missing meaning in what they do. If they had a life mission, AI is just an aid in accomplishing that mission, and they wouldn't get sidetracked by all t…

Selection bias

You're describing frontline management, not middle management. My 2 cents is that frontline management is the worst job in engineering, for the reasons you describe and more.

Do y'all non-sharers not have equity in your companies?

When work was chill I went to decaf for the morning espresso on weekdays, and enjoyed real coffee on weekends. I took glee in withholding energy from work that I redirected to my p…

IA makes the most sense in the spirit of preservation. Etree ( https://www.etree.org/ ) is the longest running torrent site for tapes. It looks like only about 5% of the hundred th…

Indeed. I directly ask my reports to discover and surface conflicts, especially disagreements with me, and when they do I try to strongly reinforce the behavior by commending and r…

While I too am only seeing a boost on the order of 20% so far, I think there are more creative applications of LLM beyond writing code, that can unlock multiples of net productivit…

Again, not security theater. Signs of general dysfunction yes. Embarrassing. Fun to tease about for sure. Aside: the more times I re-read the article the more annoyed I am with the…

Allegations of security theater should start with discussing the threat model. This is just somebody complaining about a crappy key card system.

Just wanted to point out that you may be arguing for the article.. IE US style management is heavily inspired by Drucker and resistant to Deming.

Tests are not free, over proliferation of AI-touched tests is itself a problem, similar to the problem duplicative and verbose AI-generated code. And tests are inherently imperfect…

Destroying the inventory has a cost though.

I love this article but don't understand the conclusion. Heroku is dead as a doornail, of course. Salesforce's core product was on bare metal up to a couple years ago. What they sh…

It's based on this paper BTW: https://www.anthropic.com/research/small-samples-poison
