"Engineering, product, and design are all merging into a 'builder' role"
Yeah... I'm not so sure. This feels like an oversimplification and podcast talking point. Reality is a lot more complex.
Even with 1000 "Member of Technical Staff" titles, someone still has to wake up and care 100x more about Product or Design than anyone else. It is their Main Thing™
That's not to say MTS titles are universally bad, but I think they're an example of this 'builder' talking point that's become bastardized.
AI and coding agents have made generating code easy and yet... you're in for a world of pain if non-engineers ship a bunch of slop and don't have great engineers to tame the complexity.
The SF hivemind has a tendency to overfit what works at startups for every company. And to be fair, sometimes this is true! Startups can be a leading indicator for how the industry is changing and often cause disruption.
However, it is going to be incredibly hard to disrupt the extremely human parts of corporate jobs. You really think there's going to be a PM who also does some engineering and design on the side at JPMorgan Chase?
This is true for the simple parts of most jobs, like people wanting to have ownership over something and do good work, move up a career ladder, support their family, get paid well, make an honest living...
And also the hard parts: internal politics, some critical business system that has a bus factor of 1 which has been running for 15 years and isn't documented anywhere because it's that guy's job security. The real world has a lot of this stuff.
It's easy to pontificate about all roles collapsing but it's actually really nice to have a specific person or team who is an expert in one thing that you can work with. I don't expect that to change. Further, I think AI disruption to knowledge work will take decades to play out because it is more fundamental to the human condition (e.g. sociological/organizational) than pure intelligence.
Saya dapat info bhw ada 17 calon Dubes asing yg sudah tiba di Jakarta tapi sampai sekarang masih MENUNGGU waktu utk memberikan surat kepercayaan kpd Presiden. Dari mereka ada yg sudah menunggu 8 bulan. Ada juga Dubes dari negara ASEAN yg menunggu 6 bulan. Karenanya, mereka belum bisa bekerja secara resmi.
Ini memberikan kesan buruk bagi negara2 sahabat yg mengirim Duta Besarnya ke 🇮🇩, apalagi Dubes 🇮🇩 di luar negeri selalu dgn cepat menyerahkan surat kepercayaan kpd host country. Tanpa menyalahkan siapapun, Mohon masalah ini dapat segera dituntaskan Istana krn menyangkut reputasi diplomatik kita.
Coba dipikir.
Cita2 pingin industrialisasi, bikin mobil dan ponsel sendiri
Tp belanja APBN Top 3 nya: BGN, TNI, Polri
Programnya: MBG, Kopdes, Gentengisasi
Budget R&D to GDP cuma 0,28%.
Preman di mana2. Kepastian hukum ga pasti.
Gimana industrialisasi dan investasi bisa jalan?
As the recently expanded partnership with @AnthropicAI demonstrates, @SpaceX is offering AI compute as a service at significant scale.
We are in discussions with other companies to do the same.
Over time, especially with orbital data centers, we expect to serve AI at extremely high scale.
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
Fun fact - if you have a recent commit that mentions OpenClaw in a json blob, Claude Code will either refuse your request or bill you extra money.
This is an empty repo, I'm just calling Claude Code directly. Insanity.
