Joke’s on everyone, it was AIlbirds this entire time, you just didn’t notice.

@imjameshall This is one of those advancements that look trivial at first blush but, in reality, is going to have repercussions that we haven’t even imagined yet.

@ThePrimeagen You can’t spell Atlassian without “ass” amirite

@realmcore_ Your experience mirrors this meme perfectly.

@theo “We will now refactor our microservices architecture to nano services. And they will all be written in Objective C.”

@N_Sportelli Personally, I prefer harbingers.

@jamonholmgren It's a new mode of working certainly.

I still think you can feel the code pushing back when doing AI-assist first, but it manifests differently.

- Changes to features always have a high defect or hallucination rate
- The produced work doesn't quite pass the "eye test"

@DiBonaNFL @PFF "Big Play Surrendered" Slay?

@RossTuckerPod @gregcosell @Gametime Sirianni during the playoffs (I hope)

@RealMamaEagle That would be Tom Moore https://t.co/ZwSoF64b6p

@thekitze Hard same. I always got the best highs from seeing the positive outcomes that software I built would give to people.

The puzzle solving bit can be fun, but it was never "the main thing" for me.

[Eric Nograles @grales]

@lucas_montano I get the vibe that what you're describing is less about coding itself and more about entering and staying in a flow state in the face of a hard problem.

I think that is still very much possible in a software development job assisted by LLM's, and in different, enjoyable ways.

@FBGreatMoments Nelly really hit a spin move hesi on the football field. So much fun to watch.

@BarstoolPhilly Go Birds.

@niall_obrien @wesbos For these kinds of exercises, I’d personally lean into how folks use AI assist for a small product spec and talk through how they think about systems.

It’d have to be live though, as take homes are very easily gamed these days.

[Eric Nograles @grales]

@wesbos Overall, yes. I happened to have a side project I was already working on, so show and tell was straightforward. Not all folks have something to show though so YMMV.

I think traditional DSA and technical trivial pursuit rounds should be extinct.
