Top: Me explaining the feature to other engineers

Bottom: Product management explaining their feature idea to engineering

Bottom seems like a typical user request, made by at least 3 different departments of the customer not really agreeing on how things work day to day on their site.

Plot twist: this ”super urgent” request was actually never needed (as shown by usage metrics).

Too relatable, I checked the NGINX logs of a commerical service some time ago and a decent chunk was just Uptime Kuma

With AI the developer doesn't know any of the code anymore.

That's a lot of vibing. Typically for work stuff I'm directing and reviewing everything. (Not always though. I certainly vibe tests a little more.)

This. Llm surely can generate any number of lines that seem to be a working code, that does not mean it will work at all. And sure as hell it is not to be given freedom in making architecture choices

I like AI as a last resort for problems and I love it as a fancy auto line complete but man has it made everything in this industry less fun overall. I don't want to use "agents" to program, I just want to write code:(

And then there are management devs that throw out half the code then complain it doesnt work anymore

I got nostalgic because that lady is on an English book cover I used to study in middle school (I forgot the title of the book tho)
