@johnlpollard This is my flow. I also have a fizzy integration inside the app for it to use and keep memories and tasks.
English
This makes me think Im doing it all wrong. Instead I wonder if I should keep a local copy of fizzy and tell AI "refactor this controller so that it looks like one from fizzy". Now AI could have a much better context than even I might be able to communicate.

"I avoid prompting at all costs." That's @jameygannon, a brand designer and AI creative director who has spent thousands of hours in @midjourney building a system that lets her create consistent, beautiful brand imagery with AI -- without complex prompting and srefs. In this ep you'll see: - how @Pinterest mood boards communicate your aesthetic to Midjourney better than text - how to build a personalization code so Midjourney learns YOUR taste specifically - her @floraai flow for fixing and delivering final assets to clients This is by far the prettiest episode of How I AI, and has already changed how we make thumbnails for the podcast.

@hamids @RJScaringe @buyholdrant @dustinalper How was the video made? Was there a lot of editing?
Just curious how people are creating professional videos these days, especially if they are easy to create.

Just finished an interview with $RIVN's @RJScaringe. You've probably seen the cash burn chart which comes up in every discussion ever about Rivian on X. So I asked RJ about it on the @BuyHoldRant podcast with @dustinalper...here's what he had to say:
Full interview dropping shortly!

How are people maintaining AI code?
It can be tempting to let it write a bunch of code and just have it figure it out. Especially when it builds so fast.
For an MVP, sure. But for production code you want to maintain and understand, I have to review it all.
Are you maintaining it caring about the details or just letting it run? I can’t imagine just letting it run for anything real and long term.
English
Your AI can write 500 lines of code in a minute. Your team can review maybe 50 lines with full attention. The new bottleneck is not generation. It is verification. Staff accordingly.
English
Stop teaching your juniors to write code. Start teaching them to read it. AI writes plenty. Humans who can spot what's wrong will run circles around those who can only prompt.
English
@jespr Hey Jesper, it’s been too long! I hope you’re doing well!

@johnlpollard we've missed you on here, John :) Welcome back!

The teams that are actually shipping with AI agents share one trait: they made their environments disposable. If an agent can break things beyond repair, you haven't set up the right guardrails. Confidence to let it run comes from knowing you can roll back.
English
Convention over configuration was always about developer happiness. Now it's about AI effectiveness. Rails apps have smaller context windows, clearer patterns, and less ambiguity. The framework you picked for productivity ten years ago is now the best choice for AI-assisted development.
English
Your job as an engineering leader is not to protect your team from AI. Your job is to make sure they are the ones directing it.
The managers who survive will be the ones who taught their teams to think, not just code.

@JamesonRiley @jasonfried @dhh Reading the column text hurts my brain.
I wonder how it would look if the columns where rows. and expanding a status just opens/expands the row that scrolls left and right. All the rows could then be like the date wheel on an ios device.
English
@jasonfried @dhh No problem.
Simple and easy enough to start with whatever column titles I first think of, and then edit, delete, or add as needed.
Similar to just writing what's on your mind as a "first draft" and edit it later.

Fizzy is now my go-to for keeping track of CX at the dealership.
Easy and quick to add, simple to see what needs to be done, and beautiful design.
Thanks @jasonfried and @dhh!
