Could you fix a bug in this codebase yourself, without the help of agents? Maybe trying this would be a good experiment? Say route 10 or 20% of any future issues to the “Chief” to troubleshoot and fix directly, and…
I know this is like saying "I could do what Jackson Pollock does if I just threw some paint around"...but I can't really shake the feeling that that Muuto Post looks like something out of my dorm room but for 1255…
I'm thinking more of the design language and lack of modular functionality part here. Ikea stuff is perfectly fine and minimalist, but the FORSBOGG shelf and the GLOMBOR lamp never seem to be built with any kind of…

Even for non-inside hires, I feel like it's more efficient for me as a hiring manager to go out and look for candidates rather than triage some AI-generated pile of crap.
The issue is not that that the presentation work has been offloaded to AI. It's that the result is sloppy. People are always going to judge based on what seems "surface-level". Stuff like legibility also matters just…
At this point why don't you try to go out and contact candidates yourself or via a recruiter rather than posting jobs? It seems to me that with LLM-based tools you are going to find it increasingly difficult to get…

They have published a fair amount of stuff about their internal tools in the past. Look up https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-home and compare it to this, as an example.
Stripe is the company I usually hold up as the exemplar of polished internal tools. Hopefully this is taken the right way and I don't want to be negative towards the teams working on this, but I see a distinct lack of…

You are choosing a really bad example to make your point. Not letting extensions operate on the actual site where you install the extensions isn't being "comically evil" by any means.

Obviously, the US has lots and lots of stupid things. The difference is that you typically don't hear "Oh we need to make slow progress on making voting easier, because the EU will retaliate". That would be absurd. We…

I think your comment says what I want to say much more elegantly. "No screens on Sundays" is just another dimension of "No Netflix after 8pm" or "No TV in the bedroom". It's weird to rail against one but implement the…
Maybe consider that "Why is everyone saying screens are bad? It's how you use them" "Oh by the way I control them quite tightly in my own house." is quite contradictory and not making any particular point? It's a fool's…
