Why doesn’t outsourcing work if this is all that is needed?
- simianwords 8mo agoWhy do we have managers if managers don’t have accountability?
- jdjdjssh 8mo agoI’m not sure what you’re getting at. I’m saying there’s a lot more to creating useful software than “tests pass / limited functionality checks work” from a purely technical perspective.
- jmathai 8mo agoWe haven’t fully proven that it is any different. Not at scale anyway. It took a decade for the seams of outsourcing to break. But I have a hypothesis. The quality of the output, when you don’t own the long term outcome or maintenance, is very poor. This is not the case with AI in the same sense it is with human contractors.
