@sintaxi @joemccann @doublespends Lol 🔥

@joemccann @nonken @doublespends

daily NAVs...what a concept right @nonken @sintaxi @doublespends ??

@karrisaarinen Also giving them human names distorts reality. Its a fascinating and weird phenomena that we rave on trying to create what is us.

I find giving agents job titles is LARPing. A CMO is not a content spam bot. A CEO is not a workflow for moving tasks around on a board. These are just software tools and workflows. They work the same without the titles.

@joemccann If you don’t know what to do next, find out what to do next

True

@sintaxi Nice! Would are the subsequent customer message flow

playing around with what an automated support agent might look like. tell me how this can be better. #file-email-agent-xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gist.github.com/sintaxi/549dc5…

macos ???

@MrAhmadAwais Getting better and better results with agents reviewing code, sometimes a "keep going" already works great

Code reviews are absolutely broken now. Code reviews have become a real bottleneck. The cognitive load alone is a thing worth looking into. What are you doing to make your code reviews faster? I'm deeply interested in solving this problem. Have made a bunch of workflows that we plan to ship in Command Code, but would love to hear all the things y'all are doing to deal with say 40-50 PR reviews a day. Or whatever amount you're shipping (every project is different).

The human brain isn’t designed to process all of the world’s breaking emergencies in realtime.

@karrisaarinen Maybe taste is the practice of awareness of what one truly enjoys or not.

These times I feel like a madman saying the obvious: taste is often what you refuse to add and quality improves fastest when you stop adding things that make it worse. No matter how easy something is to add, every addition makes products either better or worse.

@RyanCarniato We are artistic plumbers - or call it - the art of plumbing ❤️

To frame it another way: Code was never the goal. Code isn't the hammer either. Code is the nail/screw. It's part of the output, it holds it together and defines its shape. It's a functional material, building block.

The next few years are going to be interesting. Despite the popular belief that the world is going to slop. Things like this tend to do the opposite. We've been blessed working in software to have one of the greatest professions. We can take an idea all the way to a product, distributing to users, without leaving our desk. And while when scaling this up, we can benefit from specialization, we haven't always needed it. I think AI paints a pretty clear picture. Software Engineering is finally going to resemble other Engineering disciplines. The skills and expertise needed fall more in line. That is a huge switch. It changes the way we teach, it changes the way we hire. And it changes the skills we value and how we measure success. It shines a light on long held misalignments. Success by LoCs is like if operations in the industrial revolution measured by the size of their electricity bills. The profession isn't going anywhere. But if your current job is the equivalent to basket weaving you might need to re-examine where you stand.

@joemccann Simple object storage?

An AWS data center in the UAE is offline due to "objects that struck the data center". (Missiles)

Software craftsmanship is over. The industrial age of programming is here.

@pmarca 😂

Wiser words were never barked.

@ajhodls "Add a server to make it faster"

a whole new generation of developers is about to discover the difference between creating software and maintaining software

@MrAhmadAwais Move into a cabin either way 🌲🌳 great launches guaranteed

launching the best thing I have ever made this wed and my brain is ping ponging between “i’m a genius” and “delete everything and move to a cabin.” equal parts excitement and respect for the complexity. somewhat similar feeling to when i gave a conf talk for the first time, and thought why the heck did i sign up for this to shoot this is awesome. wish me luck!!

@trikcode Yep

Btw your startup doesn't need 12 microservices. It has 9 users. One of them is your mom

@MrAhmadAwais absolutely, and giving better quality instructions

Reviewing is more engineering than writing code now.

@theo then you are cookin

What if I just, like, launched a new product every day for the next week?

@MrAhmadAwais bring it oooooon

@nonken TUIs!!

I am seriously getting lost in ten at times twenty different VS Code windows, tens of work fees, different branches, different agents been thinking about color coding at all. How's everybody managing it?

@trikcode I think because it might be the first tool where we worry that we are becoming the tool

Why is everyone so scared of AI? It's a tool. Use it to your advantage
