It is called micromanagement when the boss tells you _how_ you should think. My approach is when leading a tech team to find together the things which should be done and find a method together to keep us on the path. Facilitation. Forcing d

Quick feedback: this framework feels like a not so well thought out extension of polya’s how to solve it to “do things fast” in a credible looking way. Harder feedback: the writeup feels like a quickly hacked together memo, which claims it

The author is trying to codify, and partially automate, a pretty common pattern to create crud style apps. Or what do you think they propose?

So you want to reduce entropy by “fixing” semantic mistakes and hardcoding some design decisions “by the book” and end up with what exactly? The exact same poster everywhere?

I know this is an internet forum, but do you have any experience with posters? There are many great tools to create posters from templates. You can make something in canva for example in minutes from free templates. You upload a photo, pla

I have aphantasia, figured out after a vivid dream which I’ve told my wife about so happily. She was not really amused. She sees these things ALL THE TIME. Like whenever she wants, or from time to time even when she doesn’t want to. She saw

So now you have two vibe coded applications you don’t understand. I’m not an advocate of making “job security” decisions but this definitely goes to red flag territory. Was it your job to maintain the RN codebase or do you have other functi

I’m not sure who will be solving these incidents if 99% of incidents will be “solved” by LLMs. If I’m called once a year my daily rate will be my yearly rate?

I like this story. How did you verify the output? How big is the codebase? Why it took 18 hours? Could you implement it with a small local agent and breaking the task down yourself in two days (i know it sounds like a loaded question, it is

They didn’t really sell this PR well: > Workflows like jira_close.yml use deprecated atlassian JIRA actions and have a dependency on the gh-actions repo. This is not ideal and unecessarily complex. And then goes on: > PR updates jira_

Have you realized you are attacking a straw-man? Nobody said all “hand written” code is good. I _think_ the implicit argument is: “all vibed code lacks cohesion”.

Wait you only wanna make llm write the boring parts but after it has written it you retype. Without concrete example this sounds bizarre.

There is a glaring fallacy in your “AI will change everything as it is super intelligent” hypothesis. If it is so great thinker which can do everything why not just solve this social impact thingie? Or maybe it is not so capable?

Css classes are not big issue with css nesting and if component boundaries are settled and the design is well defined before implementation. Tailwind is a shorthand notation which is harder to parse than a structured css file (at least I st

Right so it is easier to write code quickly, but not to maintain a system. Tailwind is the right tool if you want to generate a prototype with LLM agents. It can be quickly deleted or can be used as visual prototype to create reusable compo

So you think if a company can't spend 1 million USD on a rewrite which has almost zero impact on performance, possibly net negative on maintainability it also can't have 500k LOC codebase either? Oh come on...

I have a very good mental model in my head of each and every codebase I have ever worked on. Nothing to do with my PRs or even my team’s direct responsibilities. I could always direct a thought provoking idea to challenge the existing statu

Can you explain what you are working on? I’ve stopped using llms to generate architecture, which i design and write myself and let the machine pattern match the gaps. I also use it to review issues which I lot of the times push back agains

Depends on the goal. If staying at a certain number is the goal yes, climbing two weeks back up will possibly take more and more time. If staying energetic and healthy is the goal the number becomes only one of the moving benchmarks. With t
