This is a good take, junior engineers today and in the future will learn from making mistakes, they just won't look like the mistakes we made in the good ole days when everyone wro…

You should lay off your engineering team and do it all in Lovable amigo.

At a shitty company. The problem is - you cannot ship a large amount of code quickly in a perfect way. Positioning the problem as "what's the point of generating all this code so f…

I have mixed feelings but echo your sentiments a bit. On the one hand, I can get a lot more done and feel "unchained" so to speak. I have long hated doing frontend development and …

Linear is what Jira was back around 2008-2009. I just started using it, it's a breath of fresh air.

The first step in fixing something is being aware that it needs to be fixed.

I just started using Linear, it is AI native/friendly and a million effing times less bloated than Jira. So long Jira. And I say that as an old shit who migrated from Bugzilla to J…

Git is better in some ways, but it is insanely complicated. That matters less now with AI tooling but still there was a time when we all had many choices (commercial and open sourc…

Yeah, exactly. There is no way Claude could do that much work in one hour, starting from scratch. You can even ask Claude if it could do that and it will say the same. The LLM/AI t…

There's a crazy amount of hype, fear and blatant lies in the mix. And the pace is absolutely bonkers. The pace of announcements is even more bonkers. Maybe things will settle down …

I'm not convinced that the success and momentum of Claude Code will catch on with the general public. This feels like the one trick pony that's been groomed and billed as a racehor…

Agreed, they overlap with QA engineers and Product Managers, with some level of technical skill on their own e.g. they might know Python pretty well.

I love that the dominant narrative with modern AI is "figure out who we can fire" pronto. I don't see a clear pattnern with juniors and seniors and AI. I know some younger engineer…

I worked at company where the VP of engineering regularly stated that he "hated managing people". This is also the same guy who literally deleted the main production database becau…

Also, probably an asshole

Because of the internet, and social media and specifically Instagram in this case, I see my aunt's artwork regularly. I live a few hours from her and see her once or twice a year. …

I saw a LinkedIn post (I know, I know) talking about how soon agents will replace apps. . . Because of course, LLM calls in a for loop are also not applications anymore.

I manage a team of software engineers. While they are all quite good at what they do and care about doing the Right Thing, collectively they're not always great at working towards …

It's funny, I've used them all too. . . I like GHA overall but it sure has its quirks. Anyone who claims that GHA is garbage and any of the others are amazing is either doing somet…

LOL - "forcing scrum"

It's funny that you didn't mention Google. They used to be "the" techies tech company.

It's not unrelated. They kicked him out or he just got sick of the company's direction. Or both. Not a coincidence at all.

OpenTofu. Pulumi is cool especially if you want to run "code" code and not declarative code but Pulumi is in some ways the next Hashicorp. We'll see if they can manage to build a b…

Exactly, the pure meritocracy bs is exactly that, bs. I realize that this isn't apparent to younger people necessarily. Reddit is cool but not exactly earth shattering technology. …

Yep, he's basically preaching to a subset of young people who can help him make more money and tech fame. I mean, it's not the worst thing he could do but it would be great if he a…
