What would you say to the standard counterargument that most existing processes that AI might aim to augment or replace _already_ have a non-zero error rate? For example if I had a secretary, his summaries _could_ be…
I love that you added a conclusion at the end of your list. Adding conclusions to the end of lists is one of ChatGPT's favorite things to do.

Where are they needed now do you think? This isn't a rhetorical question.
... how much are you willing to stake on that assumption?
Well put. I'm glad we're making them.
Depends on the team. It can be.
As a dev in an XL org, I agree with the parent comment: if decision-making power isn't clear from the outset, people hold important-feeling weekly sync meetings for months and then wonder why they can't hit the…
Right? I have been a huge detractor of the "AI Hype" which came and went in the last decade and _finally_ there's a tangible, readily accessible grab-you-by-the-shirt reason to get excited about AI and people are just…
""" I'm writing a post "But honestly (replying to myself) as much as I am excited about this new tech, I do wonder what it will be like to live in a world of mostly machine-manufactured art. It echoes the move we made…
I also did chem labs in college and software now - this is accurate!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I've only read Seveneves to the end and was blown away (and simultaneously a bit disappointed if that makes sense?). I've started Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash but they didn't interest me as much.
We eventually straightened things out enough that the product ran on its own, but when I left there were plans on the backburner to replace it. Not sure how the financials worked out there in the end!
It always feels like a huge win to successfully make the case _not_ to build something we don't need. Unfortunately it's hard to make the case for such work in performance reviews.
A startup (series A-B) I worked for was basically a thin wrapper providing physical goods around the core features of a delivery SaaS (series A) - our core features were so entwined with theirs that when they went…
I'm happy to read something from someone who has achieved my goal. I just joined a FAANG for the first time after 5-8 years as an engineer ... and I'm counting the years until this is me.
They don't teach time/space complexity in Bootcamps, true. I remember the first time I ran into O(1) vs O(n), I was building a toy Game of Life simulation and trying to lookup cells by finding them in an array. Took me…
Anecdata, but I have known quite a few excellent developers from bootcamp/self-taught backgrounds. I'm a bootcamp grad myself, and have done very well. I'm curious what skills engineers use on the job that are taught…
