An old client of mine used pure AI to code a big new feature for the app I ve been building for them for the past two years.
I took a glimpse at the code, DB design was off, security policies were off, rate limits not covered.
I ended up sending a respectful message, outlining the problems and communicating that I won’t accept any responsibility for maintaining this new feature.

@Zimbilazim No need to take back statements, your experiences be valid!
Chaotic leads have given me, and teams whiplash, on no small number of occasions. And I didn't handle it well, for various reasons x-]
... on subject of frustrations, attached be something I've recently started using

@S0_And_S0 Helpful as always. Empathy is a great, I have tried my best to empathize as well.
Without correct systems in place things might get destructive.
Overall I agree with you it can be frustrating but with correct systems in place could be manageable (taking back my statement 😄)

@Zimbilazim ... A TedX talk, or a few, could probably be on this sort of strat...
But, mostly boils down to;
- empathy for leads with brain full of wasps
- compassion for comrades not looking to get stung
- and focusing on systems that build accountability and trust

Things I've tried before and worked is cutting direct communication if a client is ADHD, and having a layer that does the communication between me and the client. For example, instead of speaking with the CEO directly, the communication channel becomes between me and the ops person.
That distance creates some sort of space and makes things more managable.
I'm pretty explosive myself, so when I'm in the blast radius, I ll explode as well, rather than being able to make the space.
Would love to hear what u have tried in the past.

@Zimbilazim Not sure what all ya've tried, so would be more than a bit curious on that tangent
Also willing, with consent, to share things I've used and seen used by others for limiting blast radius of chaotic comrades

@bryan_johnson The myth of normal, we indeed live in a toxic culture 🍀

Society was built to make money.
Indifferent to your health and sanity.
For example, we did not evolve to:
+ sit 10 hours a day
+ have our attention fractured 300 times daily
+ compare ourselves to millions of others
+ travel 9 time zones in 13 hours
+ tolerate sounds above 85 dB causing hearing loss
+ outsmart algorithms hijacking our reward system
+ breathe fine particulate air pollution
+ live under 16+ hrs of artificial light a day
+ have 3 courses of antibiotics before age 2
+ eat ultra-processed foods for 60% of daily calories
+ consume 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day
So if you're feeling down in the dumps, maybe fatigued, a little or a lot depressed, anxious, that's why.

Whenever you see someone on a big podcast saying there is opportunity to be made from x for companies, don't buy it.
If Mark Cuban comes on a podcast and says there is free money on the table for helping companies adapt AI and it has 10 million views, now everyone and their grandmother are gonna be "an AI specialist".
Don't buy the noise, the noise is there for your attention, not to make you money.

The other day I was trying to scrape a cold email list, letting AI drive the whole process.
I was able to get to a list of 2000 leads, however when I was going through the list most of the websites weren't real and emails were not legit.
My learning was, if I don't have a skill in a particular area, instead of letting AI to drive the process, I need to focus on learning the skill, and then automating it peace by peace and drive the AI in my desirable direction rather than letting the AI to drive to abyss.
