> I don’t think it’s possible to build a software factory unless you truly do not care about what you’re putting out
In the article they talk of a swarm of agents autonomously speccing out the software and I can't help but wonder -- at that point, what are you creating, and for who??
"Power user?" Having a Pixel Watch 2 (or 3), I keep thinking no one working on this device really uses it. It's supposed to be a sports and health device but the stopwatch app doesn't even support laps.
Yall are missing my point - you don’t gotta replace the upper management - they will continue to hold the responsibility for outcomes and problems like they do today.
There will just be like 75% fewer of those individuals because they all can do so much more per head
Wouldn't wanna live there permanently. Wouldn't want to have been born Japanese. But my god the products and services are head and shoulders above my baseline expectations; it's simply nicer.
Was left stranded in Berlin last night trying to get home to a neighboring city, which should have taken 45 minutes (more like 1h20 nowadays due to time tables and whole regional train lines being down for maintenance til EOY).
The lack of communication was probably the worst of all. Announcements saying to take alternative means of transport. The DB Navigator app insists that everything is still running and it was impossible to get clear info as to whether RE trains were also affected.
Eventually we took a Miles car home and because of this and past unreliability I'm, sadly, thinking about getting a car instead.
This was also my first thought when reading the title: because Claude is a tool you use and co-workers are either competitors or people preferably dependent.. an anti-pattern and not good culture but sadly the norm.
That's not to say that the help-vampires the parent mentions don't exist. I think we culturally are afraid of pushing back against them: telling them to RTFM and then come back.
I clearly didn't express myself correctly, sorry. What I want to say is that one can develop taste with skill in one craft, like software engineering, while having awful taste in others, which is needed for many apps. This means that people with taste in other areas can now create nice software using their taste in other areas
During the first World War, Belgium divided in its Dutch (Flemish) and French (Walloonian) speaking constituents, had many such Walloonian officers rule over often Flemish soldiers. It wasn't unheard of that an officer got shot by his own people.
I'd dread managing technical people in a field I have no experience or knowledge; in my experience, especially in tech, such managers are often held hostage by engineers who stubbornly don't want to do things, tell fibs about feasibility, ... The other side of that is that such managers often make progress making said engineers promises that often turn out to be carrots on sticks or outright lies.
If you can't go with in the trenches, what good are you and how do you expect to build a trusting relationship?
Palm Treo/Pre and BlackBerry users! And probably Clicks users too. It's not a matter of "Does Russian language use the Latin script?" (it doesn't), but rather "What is the least annoying method to input Cyrillic on a BB-style keyboard, which doesn't have enough buttons for the йцукен layout?". Phonetic layouts such as яверты or яшерты were very popular for such devices back in the day.
For anyone one confused, the first part is an approximate transliteration into Cyrillic of the English sentence “Much like how you can/could spell English in Cyrillic.”
