@el_audiman Los trabajos bien remunerados son pocos, hay entrevistas con preguntas cuestionables y procesos largos sin respuesta.

@alejandrozepe Ahora dejamos que una skill haga esa apuesta 😂 como siempre le digo a mis teams: Lo mas valioso no es el punto, sino la discusión alrededor y los riesgos que se puedan prevenir con esa discusión

If your code sucks, your agent will too.

So, software fundamentals matter more than ever.

That's why I'm interviewing @unclebobmartin this Wednesday, live on YouTube.

Don't miss it. Link below.

I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.

There is one trait every superintelligent person has: metacognition. It's just noticing your own thinking as it happens. You catch the thought instead of getting carried off by it.

The time flows, and you just go with it. Sometimes, you get defensive in a code review before the comment has even landed. Sometimes you're three hours into a bug, and something in you refuses to walk away from it. Someone floats an idea in a meeting, and you've shot it down before they finish the sentence.

None of that is a decision. It's a reaction that fired before you looked at it.

The whole skill is catching it while it's still firing. The second you think "wait, why did I react like that?", something shifts. You're not running the reaction anymore. You're watching it run.

That little bit of distance is everything you get to work with. It's the space between doing the thing on reflex and actually choosing to do it.

I've been building software and leading teams for 20+ years. The people who kept growing weren't the most talented ones. They were the ones who could catch their own patterns in the act, which is the only reason they could change them.

You do this for systems every day. Try turning it on yourself.

One good exercise is to practice meditation, 5-10 minutes every day. This can significantly improve your metacognitive skills. Also, try to have weekly reflection sessions. I do this every Friday at 17h, where I try to understand what I did during the week and what I can improve.
