And you have discovered the job of managers! There has always been a lot of hate for managers. Wonder if the robots hate us just as much? (I often feel a weird guilt when I tell an agent to do something I know I am going to throw away but w

Yes x 1000. I find it amazing.

So right. All these guys have never been managers. Do you think humans don't write things that break? Or that teams sometimes take a wrong path and burn a week of work? Or months? Well now you can experience all of that in 30 minutes o

Hahah yes. Eagle Scout here! Be prepared!

I agree it sucks! I thought about vibecoding my own app just to reliably get my data out.

Former Eagle Scout here -- I agree a bit with this analysis. The absolute best parts of it for me were the high adventure camps, backpacking, etc. The absolute worst where the Monday meetings. Depending on the vibe of the troop your activit

This is it. Great job. I'm in same boat having been a tech pm in the '01 era but having moved over to business side after. Now having fun building tech stuff again!

I got introduced to it by Claude the other day as I was interrogating several GB of public csv files. Seemed magical as it out them all in parquet files and transformed what I needed into the normalized sqllite for my server. Coding agents

Amish craftsmen confronted with a nail gun and an impact driver. Yeah you can still build a house swinging your arm if you want, but others won't.

This has happened to me btw. I can only suspect they are "testing" the reception.

Correct. But the llm can also program you the exact automation you want! Much more efficiently than gui madness with N8N. And if you want observability just program that too!

Already very possible and super easy if you do a little vibecoding. Although it will hit the api. Have a stack polling my email every five minutes, classifying email, taking action based on the types. 30 minute coding session.

I don't get it. Last week on the 100 bucks plan I generated probably 50k LOC (not a quality measure for sure!) and just barely kissed the weekly limit. I did get rate limited on some sessions for sure, but that's to be expected.

Correct. And also hiving off areas that they own, vs you own. Who has decision right and controls the burn down of the kanban board? Basically treat yourself like an API that they consume. You build the good stuff that you know is right. Th

Not sure this is the same site but somebody sure took off with the idea! Just thought it would be fun to post a little history here for the long timers around here!

that's too bad. I'm microdosing tirz -- 1/2 the "starter" dose they use to titrate you on, so essentially 1/4 of the therapeutic dose. Totally helped me reduce appetite driven snacking and eating. I still enjoy

Correct. One niggle in that PE can access private credit as part of the capital stack. One flavor of debt in the ice cream store.

Same. New yorker is the other mag I subscribed to. Until 3 weeks ago I had a high cortisol inducing morning read: nyt, wsj, axios, politico. I went on a weeklong camping trip with no phone and haven't logged into those yet. It's f

Right!? It's like me all the sudden being able to fix my car's engine. I mean, sure, there are mechanics, and it surely isn't rocket science, but I couldn't do it before and now I can!!! A miracle! Cue the folks saying &

But if you are not saving "privileged" information who cares? I mean think of all the WordPress sites out there. Surely vibecoding is not SO much worse than some plugin monstrosity.... At the end of the day if you are not saving

Correct - heuristics - ie, experience, wisdom, etc.

100% correct. Wonderful and we will still use it for most use cases. But for stuff where it is just not needed or should be automated, we can now make some amazing tools. (Just like the VBA coders of old.)

But this nightmare is ALREADY true, except that software is a spreadsheet. Or a piece of paper on someone's desk. Or an email that someone is supposed to send every day.... Yes it's an absolute nightmare to maintain if you built a

Everything is still touched by human - AI is just giving suggestions to humans to speed them up. Can get them 80-90% there. I think also you need to compare it to what was already there. No QA on the humans. Done off the side of their desk
