If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold.

@NQpilot Be grateful here’s there. Find a teachable moment with the quorum. Give positive feedback to help align with standards.

“Maîtres chez nous” says more in 3 words than any speech could. Especially if you understand the context and history.

@ido_pesok @jaredpalmer 95% reliability means after 5 iterations you’re at 77% (when output becomes input). Keep going and you have 50/50 chances.

@omkarships Your work is less, your output is more. So you need to hold more things in your head.

@snowmaker The sheer amount of technical debt and improvements in testing and validation that my team has been able to implement with AI tools this year would have required a team 10x in size a few years ago. It’s been amazing!

@ASCENDING_AZ “Can we not rest until everything is done?” Elder Kearon, no need to call me out like that!

@davidfowl Rarely is the question asked: Is our children coding?

[Andrew Lewis @andlewis]

Let it cook. Sometimes the hardest part of AI engineering is waiting for the model to finish working. I know judgement is scarce, but patience is non-existent.

[Andrew Lewis @andlewis]

@mattwensing The kids are alright

Well, I'll say this: using Claude to optimize my router settings is the best thing I've done all week. 250Mbps to 900Mbps throughput by tweaking a few simple settings. Thanks @claudeai !

[Andrew Lewis @andlewis]

@Gini_220 You mean except for Alaska and Hawaii?

[Andrew Lewis @andlewis]

@charlesordo Nope, it wasn't the coding I enjoyed, but the process of creation. That is still intact. And the more people that can do that, the better we are as a society.

@KCG3D @shemnon @JustBuildHQ @JustServe Is that presentation available anywhere?

[Andrew Lewis @andlewis]

@gordon_cassie As a director of innovation at BigFirm LLP I feel personally attacked.

@Amma__tuuh If my wife and I divorce, she can have everything. Literally everything. I will build myself up from zero, because there would be nothing left of the man that I am.

been stuck on why a résumé ever worked in the first place. making something used to cost you weeks, so the artifact was evidence of the judgment behind it. that was the whole trick. read the work, read the person.

[Andrew Lewis @andlewis]

artifacts are basically free now and nobody updated the instrument. still reading years of experience like it means something. it correlates with performance at about 0.06.

no idea what replaces it. genuinely asking. more here:

[Andrew Lewis @andlewis]

nobody makes you measure the hard thing. that's the whole trick of it

been sitting with the fact that i tracked impressions from day one because the platform just gives them to you, and never once tracked the number that actually maps to what i wanted. four months. the field was right there, blank, every time.
