I'm astounded that I kinda ended up building the same agentic workflow they are talking about in this article and distributed it amongst the org (eng and product/designers).
As a personal anecdote I highly recommend not using the Copilot harness. Even with the same model I found it produced mediocre results against the first class frontier model harnesses.
The learning is at that level of abstraction, so yes taking away the abstraction prevents will stymy you. Just like if you pressed a button to wipe out our main language stack at our job, yeah none of us would know how…
I hate marketing websites especially for developer products. “You no longer have to florp, now you can vorp!” Big numbers, random charts. 10x 100x 200x! Who is this for? Just make the docs the home page.
I mean look at our response to climate change and then look at our response to COVID. Change doesn't happen until we are at the absolute brink of IMMEDIATE catastrophe.
I find it a breath of fresh air to be able to tackle backlogged tech debt items simultaneously with business priorities in parallel and stuff like that. That being said, I can't see this entire field existing in five…
> Within the next 5 years, how likely do you think it is that you will have to change careers due to reasons beyond your control? When I filled this out myself in July, I was "somewhat unlikely" If you ask me again now,…
This isn't something you need an AI to do for you though...
There is a human in the loop that either prompted the agent or approved the code. So it doesn't matter if the AI is accountable or not.

You don't want to live in a society where an increasingly large percentage of the population have nothing to lose. Regardless of whether it benefits our industry or socioeconomic status, it'd be incredibly shortsighted…
The easy infographic generation scares me on the implications for society.
I can't describe how fast my eyes glazed over seeing all those numbers. The cow was very cute.
Seriously. Its not like alternatively I can code for 8 straight hours. I treat meetings like breaks for the most part.
This is incredibly passive aggressive lol.
I agree. Its a coin flip. We don't know what the long term effects of COVID are, we don't know what the long term effects of the vaccine are. I'd argue that we know more about what COULD happen with the vaccine long…
I think that's where the confusion lies. Are people suggesting someone to write their own auth from the ground up, or write auth in coordination with their stack's auth library of choice?
I'd rather the money and fines flow to the US government, not random hacker groups.
I've had my variable annual bonus converted into a permanent salary increase. I will say I like this a lot more.
Man, people really hate Mongo. We use it for a very specific use case and its been perfect for us when we need raw speed over everything. Data loss is tolerable.
Yeah. That sounds like work and me begging business side for better requirements.
Its 50/50. Either you crack it or you don't.
Now convince a place that isn't doing this to spend time and resources to put this into place. 'Ship fast and break things' is one of the best and worst cultures in the tech industry.
Being 100% sedentary + eating less calories is pretty difficult. For some reason unbeknownst to me, exercise makes eating less a lot easier.
"I can't help but groan at some of the "obvious" health and weight loss platitudes that get smugly thrown around." On the flip side, the people that are told this are the ones that are annoyingly attempting to maintain…
