@mitchellh Every single feature that’s been added to Spotify these past few years have been nothing but noise: « smart » shuffle which lags when pressing it ( with no way to disable it), lots of information that is just useless (videos, news..)
I mean wtf I just want to listen to music?
My biggest worries about coding with AI:
1. Beginners not actually learning
2. Atrophy of skills
I’m seeing #1 happen and I don’t have a good answer yet.
Leveling up as an engineer requires grinding and it’s not always fun. If AI can solve most of the problems for you, when do you lean into the healthy friction? When do you embrace the suck? Coupled with fewer opportunities for pair programming, it’s definitely tougher for those starting their engineering career.
It’s not all bleak though. Those with high agency are figuring it out and learning extremely fast. I just worry about the industry as a whole outside these folks. We need better products and better education. I’m hoping to try and do my part here.
For #2, I’m definitely paranoid about this for myself. What will it feel like to build software in 5 years? Will I have forgotten someone of the skills I used to rely on? Maybe that won’t even matter because we will truly be operating at a higher level of abstraction. Even if that pans out, it’s always been important to deeply understand the systems/dependencies you’re building on.
I normally talk about the stuff I’m optimistic for but think it’s good to have a healthy skepticism here.
@LerSfy Ça me fait penser à un livre fort intéressant : « Encarté ! » de Achraf Ben Brahim, qui avait à l’époque pris sa carte dans tous les partis pour voir comment c’était « de l’intérieur ». Je recommande
@LerSfy @ptitgenie_@bryan2669 Cette vieille image du "riche" en chapeau haut-de-forme, un cigare à la main en haut de son gratte-ciel a laissé des traces en France. En reste aujourd'hui l'illusion que le riche ne mériterait en rien ce qu'il a, et qu'il nuirait à la société pour son vil profit...
@LerSfy Intéressant ! De mon côté, j'ai supprimé le sucre, mais aussi réduit très drastiquement les féculents (je n'en mange que le midi) - au profit des légumes, des "bons gras" et de la viande.
J'ai tellement plus d'énergie qu'avant ! (quand je me lis on dirait que je vends un truc 😂)
Take: @Spotify product just works, and they don't know what to do next. So they're probably having BS meetings about "having a music XP that is more than just listening to songs", explaining why we've got new useless & annoying features like the new pane & augmented playlists
@JD_misc J'ai la sensation que tu réfléchis au fond des choses sans te poser justement la question, et comme n'importe qui faisant cela (ce que je trouve sain), tu n'es ni de droite, ni de gauche. Tu essaies d'être pragmatique
