A slide from our last all hands.
I've also started to call out this behavior publicly in Slack channels.
Tired of consuming workslop

Bragging about how much software youâre shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

Iâm an AI-powered code psychic, here to warn you about the bugs in your future.
Looks like I'm too late to warn you about that gas station sushi you had for lunch. Who am I?

iâm hoping this reaches someone who can help although i donât think i have any other options
i got a call telling me i needed to come to bangkok asap to try and say goodbye to my father (we donât know how much time is left/if iâll even make it)
my first flight from montreal to toronto was delayed and i missed my connecting flight
gate agents said i would get an email within 30m but i havenât (nor have the people beside me who landed 3h ago)
they also made an announcement that no hotel or food vouchers would be given
the desks are all closed but the random agent walking around said my only other option is to call. iâve been on hold for 1.5h
i know another option is to just book another flight but the next possible flight w any airline isnât for another 9 hours and is $12k CAD. the next is 17 hours away
seems like there is nothing i can do except wait on hold at the airport and see what they book me but i figured id post this anyways and see what happens
i almost feel stupid asking to retweet as iâm not very hopeful, but if you wouldnât mind it would still mean a lot to me

Incredibly strong opinions always receive the most attention on social media, which is a shame. They're the least interesting.
The older you get, the more you realize how important it is to loosen your grip. You have too many "Oh, wow, I was completely wrong about that" moments.

This seems to be the best AI assisted dev workflow for building new things:
1. Quickly vibe code a proof of concept, so you can learn whether itâll work
2. Rewrite using tab coding + hand writing, for correctness

At a past company, the head of engineering and the principal engineers decided to break our Ruby on Rails application into a Go microservices mesh.
They created very detailed design documents and architecture diagrams. They went all out and used Kubernetes, gRPC, service templates, the whole shebang.
The whole senior engineering leadership came from Amazon, where they were used to each team owning a distinct service. They tried to apply that model directly. But our issues were with code ownership and poor domain modeling.
The entire application could have run on just a handful of EC2 instances.
What was the result?
Five years later, 70% of the application is still running on the Ruby on Rails monolith. Never completed the migration. But now they have to maintain two systems.
None of the original leadership works there anymore.

I donât think Iâve ever seen a game changer than was an actual game changer.

1) make up the desired interface
2) make the interface real

What's a random smart thing you heard someone say offhandedly that is now stuck in your brain?
Mine is @mattstauffer (paraphrasing): Don't express your creativity by ignoring conventions and changing the code style of a project. Express it by solving problems in smart ways.

If there's one thing I've learned after working on the same projects for over 5 years (closed and open source), is that consistency is so extremely paramount
Adding a new approach for *just this one thing* quickly spirals out of control. Even if the current approach is bad, staying consistent allows you to easily refactor *all* of it later, instead of untangling hundreds of unique approaches that have been accumulated over the course of several years
Stick to the path, but if something needs to change, change it all at once. You will thank yourself later for doing so, even though the initial work will be tiring
