Where are they needed now do you think? This isn't a rhetorical question.

Chat GPT 11: * Resounding silence. The universe is entirely made of paperclips *

That's a good point, and I guess the meta point is that there are a thousand and one things I haven't mentioned here that it would have to do as well. To some extent perhaps we cou…

There has been a shift in how we discuss this question. For a long time, the answer was, "No jobs are at risk, AI can't compete in any scenarios. At best, it's a tool." Now the ans…

... how much are you willing to stake on that assumption?

Well put. I'm glad we're making them.

Depends on the team. It can be.

As a dev in an XL org, I agree with the parent comment: if decision-making power isn't clear from the outset, people hold important-feeling weekly sync meetings for months and then…

Right? I have been a huge detractor of the "AI Hype" which came and went in the last decade and _finally_ there's a tangible, readily accessible grab-you-by-the-shirt reason to get…

We eventually straightened things out enough that the product ran on its own, but when I left there were plans on the backburner to replace it. Not sure how the financials worked o…

It always feels like a huge win to successfully make the case _not_ to build something we don't need. Unfortunately it's hard to make the case for such work in performance reviews.…

A startup (series A-B) I worked for was basically a thin wrapper providing physical goods around the core features of a delivery SaaS (series A) - our core features were so entwine…

I'm happy to read something from someone who has achieved my goal. I just joined a FAANG for the first time after 5-8 years as an engineer ... and I'm counting the years until this…
