Cool, but wait another year or two and context engineering will be obsolete as well. It still feels like tinkering with the machine, which is what AI is (supposed to be) moving us away from.

Wait for the science to deal with it, or become a scientist yourself. With how ubiquitous it is, it's going to be hard to filter it out of the entire planet, so chances are you'd want to find something to deal with it in humans. P

The real question is did they build it using agile or waterfall?

My guess is they will settle for 2x the productivity as a before-AI developer as their skill floor, but then not take a look at how long meetings and other processes take. Why not look at Bob who takes like 2 weeks to write tickets on wha

They often combine front end and back end roles (and sometimes sysadmin/devops/infrastructure) into one developer, so now I imagine they'll use AI to try and get even more. Burnout be damned, just going by their history.

That's dumb, of course, but sometimes people really just do the bare minimum to describe what they want and they can only think clearly once there's something in front of them. The 2000 lines there should be considered a POC, even

It should be, but the cold, hard meritocracy just doesn't exist, so you need to combine your useful work with soft skills to have your work valued

The problem is leetcode interviews for CRUD jobs, and there is no accountability to really stop that. This is in part due to job titles being meaningless. Senior Software Engineer has a very large dynamic range of technical ability needed w

Lots of reasons you can fail an interview, doesn't mean they're a bullshit artist. If we want to be intellectually honest about this process (letting a candidate prove themselves), the least we could do is offer different formats

Or they offshored the project and fired people, and are bringing it back, and now you have to deal with that mess Your potential reward for fixing all of it and reminding them to not do it again? Nothing!

The depth of knowledge required to work on something tends to scale with how much performance is needed, or how large the impact will be. I feel this should be obvious, but maybe the reason we're having to defend shallow technical know

Get your other developers in on it and schedule a 2 hour "dev sync" and then just don't meet.
