@willbakerships When did "alpha" transformed into "meta"

[Cruz @MktEngineer]

@thedankoe I understand the automatons, they don't know better.

But purists? It's like an embodied death wish I don't understand what function they serve in nature

@coryalthoff 🙋🏻‍♂️?

@gonzipu Yo creo que la gratitud es un hábito

[Cruz @MktEngineer]

@dexhorthy Did you read every line of your coworkers PRs before AI? Did they even tested their own code?

I think it’s always been a risk/reward tradeoff how much validation we did before merging code to prod

[Cruz @MktEngineer]

@alialobai1 Nope

It’s a sign of having a hard time letting go

@naval Why are the Chinese evil?

@dexhorthy I do this in the GitHub PR UI , leave comments and have Claude running in a loop on my terminal addressing/responding to my comments

Cursor try to do this but it was bad file navigation and you couldn’t see all stuff that was committed just staged

[Cruz @MktEngineer]

@danielkleach That already happens when the 10x engineer leaves the company

[Cruz @MktEngineer]

Hmm the only issue is that we can’t trust the code without reading it

Can’t trust the tests without reading them

And it doesn’t converge, the “architecture” will devolve into slop

Even if you don’t care about architecture I suspect that cost per task keeps growing the longer the code base has not been de-slopified and that’s a real issue

[Cruz @MktEngineer]

Most of us don’t actually believe we’re going to die.

If we truly did, our worries would feel lighter. We’d savor every second of life and squeeze it to the max.

[Cruz @MktEngineer]

Hmm I don’t know man have you seen the marketingskills github repo by coreyhaines31

Also this is counterintuitive because I think now it’s possible to actually freelance as a dev, before you really couldn’t do an app for yourself or if you could I don’t think you could have charge what it was worth. But maybe the customers perception is that ai can do it instead and that’s what matters
