By asking this, you're effectively the shallow professional with more money that hugs the festival to death, so of course you wouldn't know the cool ones that are mostly art community driven

Agreed - I know it's poor security but damn does it work so well I'm ok with the risk because I typically am pretty explicit about telling the agent what to do - I don't do the loops like "Do this until X" where the

I can totally see a world where a small team of PM + engineers can recreate internal business tools, you need to run the numbers to see if paying these people is significant cost savings relative to paying for the tool The reality for most

> How do you structure a brand new project? Scaffolding, git init/ignore? Repos? Initial commit strategies? Don't overthink it. Use whatever bootstrapping tools your project framework comes with (rails app? use `rails new`) &gt

Everyone is QA at a startup. I hope y'all are using your own product regularly right? You should have a nice simple way to raise these issues, maybe a slack channel or something with a convenient way to turn a screenshot into an item i

I currently am mid 30s and 10 years into my career. I have no interest in joining a union right now, simply because I am confident in my skill and my ability to increase my earnings and career progression without being a member of a union.

I think this is company culture. You're asking how to make your engineers give enough of a damn about their output to spend the extra time understanding it. Did they do this before AI? Does the company really, truly care about software

I've found two jobs from that thread, and have been offered a third I turned down. I usually just ctrl-f for the tech I use and apply if I see something interesting that matches my skillset. It's quite targeted. I think I have lik

Why not a childfree tax instead? It's not going to be popular, but for societies with low birth rates - contribute to the next generation either via human bodies or via cash. But I doubt society's ability to put this tax towards t

Just have claude (or gpt maybe) do an architecture review and request a multi-phase refactoring plan. This is probably better to do incrementally as you notice the balls of mud forming but it might not be too late. Either way, if it does so

By then, the fix will be easy. Fire up the latest LLM, point it at your codebase and tell it "rewrite this from scratch. do it well. fix the architecture mistakes"

Non designers will vibe-design a prototype with claude, export it to canva and let the designers finish it up If code doesn't go this direction soon, I'd be surprised. PM builds a prototype with claude, or designer designs somethi

We as engineers are still paid to create working software. As such, you are responsible for the genAI code you ship to production. That is, our customers are paying us for working software, so we should all understand what the AIs are writi

I'm fully onboard the Neovim train. Lua is a much better language than vimscript and there's a lot more interest in Neovim so there's more interesting packages that people create. Regular Vim is probably fine if you aren&#x27

First, don't do what people on the cutting edge are doing. They are AI hobbyists and their methods becomes obsolete within weeks. Many of the tricks they use become first class objects of frontier models/tooling or are unnecessary

The same way you prevented this previously. Copying successful products is nothing new, AI just makes it easier. Marketing, lawyers, good customer support, creating relationships with customers.
