This is just a manifestation of the same short-sightedness that led to idea of "let's only hire seniors" not thinking too much about how juniors grow and become seniors themselves. Being more efficient could have meant "

The way things are going, whether it is or not, I expect someone to push it on their org for a productivity experiment. "Enterprise-grade compliance" gave me a good chuckle.

To be fair, that's less "cramming AI for the sake of it" and more "people are going to do funky handrolled things, let's make and maintain one thats native to the ecosystem". I bet there's plenty of intern

It's a bit odd to see an MIT-licensed work that isn't source-available (unless I missed something, no repository is linked to the PyPi page, and the only relevant repository I could find attached to your account is the benchmark c

CI/CD and security audits are activities that help with confidence and kicking the tires after development takes place, but the practice that's really needed here is scrutiny and review from the author of the change and from non-a

That's very true, but there's room for some nuance. Because of author inexperience, I wouldn't expect audits and reviews to be comprehensive, but I would expect the questioning to take place. In the case of imports, it doesn&

To be fair, that happening feels more like poor management and mentorship than "juniors are scatterbrained". Over time, you build up the right reflexes that avoid a one-week goose chase with them. Heck, since we're working wi

I think some folks are very quick to drop rigor and care as "traditional practices" as if we're talking about churning butter by hand. One thing that might be valuable to keep in mind is that LLM tooling might feel like an ex

> Under the new policy, Amazon engineers must get two people to review their work before making any coding changes. I wonder if this is adding human review where there was none, or if this is adding more of it.

Did you identify the kind of performance problems you were solving for? Curious to hear whether the source of the lag is known. The local / "runs entirely on my machine" claim should probably come with an asterisk: the TUI pa

The danger with fencing things off is in how you determine what is fenced off and what isn't. I'm not convinced it's possible to do that without creating something that gets harnessed for censorship or propaganda based on who

I've seen this posted a few times now, might as well leave the comment I meant to make the first time around: this sounds like a tool solution to a process problem. You're right in that it shouldn't take hours every week to c

Curious to hear your reasoning there. The only argument I've heard to far about how this is the path to betterment relies on getting past a theoretical hump where AI and robotics go further and can replace most labour, and the upper cl

There's many things to be unpacked here, but one that feels particularly compelling is how the potential of AI is being leveraged to divide people further along class lines instead of being a tide that rises all boats. The narrative ar
