@kenwheeler Ran into the same thing. It gave me an eating disorder and made going to the gym make me want to throw up after any workout. I want the miracle drug to work!

@aurorascharff More investment in output: ‘export’, feels like a forgotten part of Next that is still useful for static marketing type pages

It’s cool that we got to spend Clayton Kershaw’s last season seeing his greatness rather than begging people to remember it

the way we coach engineers is probably gonna change a bit

What used to be valuable input from great eng manager / tech lead is now actively harmful to engineers as they try to learn in the new world of ai-first dev

in the old world, you could just say "make sure you check here, here, and here when building this". They would internalize learnings as they ingested the comment and translated it into action - searching, editing, etc

but now a new engineer can just verbatim copy that comment into a coding agent prompt, and get the same result.

in my experience the best human learning part happens when you have to work to translate one thing into another

so what's the thing a coach can give an engineer to help them go from "input from coach" to "good steering for the agent"

they don't just have to learn to design and implement, they have to learn something else now too... some new higher-order thing

like anything you can learn this over time w/ vibes, but like everything, a coach should help you grow/learn faster. AND even worse, if you're just handed the answer, you wont learn it.

@dcarterruff Did the NFL ever consider limiting it to 1 (one) smelling salt per game?

Cool role alert! Looking to hire a Senior Web Designer on my team. Definitely encourage folks who have worked with design systems, found ways to make AI make their lives easier, and folks who aren't afraid of marketing acronyms like MQLs or CVR https://t.co/YT60KI8RFC
