- DANmode 2mo agoUse AI to speed up your own existing workflows that were working. Advertise that you’re there to fix AI slop attempts (you can rebuild it from scratch if you have to). You may not have the juice to sell great shovels in a gold rush. You also may. Just…be sure.
- ilaksh 2mo agoI've been using my agent harness to research and build AI services for many months. I'm honestly not that interested in cleanup work because most of what I see is not a genuine failure but just a vague request to "make it production ready" and half of them have the expectation that I will use little to no AI to do that and they think there is some magic set of best practices that will prevent any issues from popping up.. and they have quite low budgets. Which is the type of busywork that less capable engineers overcharge for. What they need is usually modest cleanup and then a strong iteration loop. Anyway, it's not that easy to find projects that make sense.
