Worse enough it isn't addictive. The goal is non-addictive, whatever changes to whatever part are necessary to hit that goal.

Is that what I should be doing? I'm just encouraging the devs on my team to read designing data intensive apps and setting up time for group discussions. Aside from coding and meetings that is.

This is the bad side of things like OKRs. They push you away from user satisfaction since that harder to measure, coupled with go consequences for missing them. People just force adoption without taking the product signals that come from us

Do not give a shit about how they excuse doing a bad job. If their tools make them that much more productive, and being the developer of those tools should allow you to make great use of them. Use native for osx Use .Net framework for wind

Fuck is there a way to have that degree and not be clueless and toxic to your colleagues and users.

Sounds like a decent into madness to me and I'm somewhat pro AI.

There being a few edge cases where it doesn't work in doesn't mean it doesn't work in the majority of cases and that we shouldn't try to fix the edge cases.

Because I've been burned by every big tech company I can think of. As for why it would be soothing, well because it gives me hope that when I read any further legal docs they'll hold to the post. What does ai have to do with this?

I don't know dude. Every time I've assumed good faith on my paying for something means ad free, I've been screwed by some asshole with an MBA getting into a leadership position high enough to push ads through. I'd rather

Honestly IMO it's more that I ask for A, but don't strongly enough discourage B then I get both A, B and maybe C, generally implemented poorly. The base systems need to have more focus and doubt built in before they'll be tru

Until AI labs have the equivalent of an SLA for giving accurate and helpful responses it don't get better. They've not even able to measure if the agents work correctly and consistently.

It's not networked communication that's a problem, it's a company pumping algorithmicly prioritized feeds of content while being run by unscrupulous profit driven people.

The post is almost worse than you give it credit for. Like it doesn't even take into account different people are making the decisions.

I started making the case for organizational efficiency rather than a technical argument. Demonstrating where the larger number of people and teams necessary to make a decision and a change and how that impacts the amount of time to ship ne

Did you learn how to do long division in schools? I did, and I wasn't allowed to use calculators on a test until I was in highschool and basic math wasn't what was being taught or evaluated.

I'll be more inclined to believe the hype when we start measuring accuracy and predictability like SLOs and holding the companies accountable for bad results.

LLMs vs human Handholding the human pays off in the long run more than hand holding the llm, which requires more hand holding anyway. Claude doesn't get better as I explain concepts to it the same way a jr engineer does.

I honestly don't care. I've taken the stance of just looking for alternatives. Chrome on Android forced grid for tabs, boom changes to Firefox everywhere. YouTube doesn't allow me to disable picture in picture, canceled my pa

I did the same, but I also added in a tamper monkey script to get rid of the picture in picture thing they force on you as part of their "core experience". I wish their ux designers and PMs were less arrogant and realized their pr

Or just ask people not to send you data in useless formats. That way you don't have to burn an acre of trees to power it and you help someone be less difficult.

You're correct and the project isn't entitled to any good will or usage from the community either. So they get what they get, just like the community. Or you know, everyone can just give a shit about each other even if it's a

I used to have a cronjob to change them to what I want daily. Only worked for sites with an API, but was better than the user hostile "we know your preferences better than you" garbage.

I think the point is that bias happens in all human behavior, but with AI it's more visible than in the general population. Which I'd say is a positive, but I don't believe if it offsets the downsides.

For me it helped change some of the approaches I take with my therapist. I also have sever clinical depression. It's also helped me relate to other people and understand why people have an easier time with seemingly basic things, like

I duno on some of that. Until I was about 39 I was a "weird nerd" and then my wife (Dr of special education) finally convinced me to talk to a Dr and get get tested for autism. Turns out I'm ASD 1, would have been Asperger&#x

I got my first at 42, I've only ever gotten positive comments. Except from my buddy who is a tattoo artist, he was upset he didn't get to give me my first one.
