Fable is better than most staff engineers at my FAANG.
- hrmon 4mo agoBut staff engineers take "responsibility"
- sn0n 4mo agoMaybe I’m missing something, but he talks about charm and tasks (repos on his GitHub). Charm being his harness, and tasks being one of his skills. Idk, maybe I’m mistaken from reading the article… https://github.com/taoeffect https://github.com/taoeffect
- maccard 4mo ago> Fable is better than most staff engineers at my FAANG. While this wouldn’t entirely surprise me, my experience is just not that. Using Claude and fable, it regularly (poorly) recreates features that exist inside our codebase. Sure, I could give way more initial context but at a certain point I’ve given so much context that I would have been faster writing the code myself, or I could have literally handed it to even a fresh graduate to write.
- well_ackshually 4mo agoFable will definitely be the one on call when it inevitably breaks down from the pile of shit slop it wrote at 5AM, don't worry <3
- solenoid0937 4mo agoWe already use AI for oncall and it works better than our humans most of the time.

- Toutouxc 4mo ago> Fable is better than most staff engineers at my FAANG. That’s genuinely disturbing.
