Re: Claude Code for Infrastructure
#162Earlier quoted context omitted.
I’ve been a year deep into my first job out of tech. There is a never ending slew of problems where being able to code, specially now with AI, means you have wizard-like powers to help your coworkers. My codebase is full of one-offs that slowly but surely converge towards cohesive/well-defined/reusable capabilities based on ‘real’ needs. I’m now starting to pitch consulting to a niche to see what sticks. If the dynam…
That made me remember that one time many years ago, when I had a friend who literally called me a wizard.. He was working as a shift manager at a call center, and one of his most difficult tasks he kept ranting about was scheduling employees, who were not the most consistent bunch, and had varied skillset, yet he had to meet very strict support availability requirements. He kept ranting about what a b*tch of a proble…
The problem we have as software engineers (from an entrepreneur's pov) is that we mostly struggle with stuff that's removed from the client's problem.
I mean it in terms of owning the solution to a problem, being accountable/responsible for something working e2e not just the software or even the product - the service/experience of the customer that makes them want to give you money. Once you put on another hat - guess what - you'd probably be the star of some operations team or a great supervisor of some department. You would automate everything around you to a point others think you're the most capable person they've ever seen in that role.

#164All these tools to build something, but nothing to build. I feel like I am part of a Pyramid Scheme where every product is about building something else, but nothing reaches the end user. Note: nothing against fluid.sh, I am struggling to figure out something to build.

That is the problem with software developers with expertise in software, but no deep domain knowledge outside the CS world.
It is my belief with some exceptions it is almost always easier to teach a domain expert to code than it is to teach a software developer the domain.
Eh, this is the kind of pithy soundbite that sounds vaguely deep and intelligent but doesn't hold up.
In what domains have you had experience taking non programmers with domain knowledge and making them programmers?

One just needs to put enough poison on the internet to get the malicious URL suggested by LLMs. What a time to be alive!

In macroeconomic, you have an aggregate production functions that represents output for a country or something. In many of these function you'll have a parameter for technology, it acts as a multiplier over inputs, so the greater the measure of technology the greater the output. Quite a few of these also exhibt a characteristic where output drops if technology increases too fast. To illustrate this, imagine a scenario in real life that kind of looks like a rapid evolution of some kind of technology of home phones, to cell phones, to smart phones at a rate faster than people know how to make use of them, while also spending money adoption making the intermediary adoptions quite wasteful.
I think we see an aspect of this here, a lot of things we took for granted are changing, shared assumptions are being challenged and it's a period we're all relearning new things. To some extent spending too much time diving on the current iteration of AI tooling might be for nothing if gets invalidated by another sudden jump.
With all these new tools people are building, I can't help but feel they are building foundations on moving soil.

I feel the same, it's like there's more offer than demand somehow

With the industrial revolution extra demand for industrial overcapacity was created in the form of war.
After the war the US created extra demand in the form of consumerism.
China is creating extra demand for infrastructure overcapacity with its belt and road initiative.
I wouldnt underestimate the abililty of the country to creatively create demand to counter oversupply.
