@elonmusk A wheel-less Tesla still needs a graceful way out of edge cases. What about a low-speed “guided maneuver” mode: the owner selects the desired position, the car plans the path, and onboard safety retains full control. Tablet or dash-based, no steering wheel required.

@GergelyOrosz What's your take on OCI?

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

I am with Will on this.

Kind of how since everyone has an amazing camera in our phones - those of us paying attention realize that making a movie worth watching takes more than having good lenses. And the video you or I take are not that good vs pros

The positive thing about AI tooling going mainstream and setting expectations high (e.g. "anyone can build software with AI") is that a large group will learn what us devs know already:

Creating good software is hard and it's hard to explain to outsiders in a way they understand

[Allen Holub. https://linkedIn.com/in/allenholub @allenholub]

One of the most important concepts in Goldratt's "Throughput Accounting" is that inventory (something you've built or spent time on) that has not been released into the customer's hands) is a financial liability. It's money spent with no balancing revenue. Every bit of software that sits idle waiting for someone to work on it is a financial liability—money lost. Opportunity cost is a big part of that. You're paying to write non-revenue-producing software while at the same time losing the money you could have made had it been released earlier—a 2x hit. Of course, delayed feedback ultimately leads to either building the wrong thing or massively expensive rewrites. More money lost. Lots of it. A long backlog that people have put effort into creating and maintaining is inventory—more money lost. Every minute waiting for QA or a DBA decision is money lost. That 10x programmer creating work that's waiting to be handled by the next person in line—money lost. The list is endless. You want to be more profitable? Don't "manage" these delays and dependencies, eliminate them..

@allenholub I have not seen it work. It usually ends up being some sort of water-scrum-fall. How can an organization be agile if it keeps doing summer budget exercises with line-item details for the following year, 18 months ahead?
The only way is to provide capacity and trust the teams.

8/ The psychological edge isn’t about outsmarting others; it’s about mastering yourself. Our greatest obstacles are often internal—the fear of failure, the pull of instant gratification, the comfort of conformity. When you can consistently overcome these internal barriers, you position yourself ahead of those who can’t. In a world where many succumb to their base instincts, understanding and conquering your own psychology gives you an advantage that’s both rare and enduring.

[Dev Ittycheria @dittycheria]

5/ Thinking unconventionally is where magic happens. Most stick to the beaten path, clinging to comfort and familiarity. But the real breakthroughs? They come when you dare to ask the questions no one else is asking. The road less traveled isn’t just for the bold—it’s for those who want to make real, lasting impact. Innovators don’t just follow trends—they set them.

[Dev Ittycheria @dittycheria]

2/Why is psychological strength the ultimate competitive edge? Because it’s what most people are missing. Human nature fights against it. Our instincts push us toward comfort, validation, and quick wins. Mastering these inner battles puts you leagues ahead of those who follow the path of least resistance.

[Hackolade @hackolade]

@allenholub It is even worse to keep inventory (of developed code) on the shelves instead of shipping it to add value for users. If it is ready, release/deploy it.

[Hackolade @hackolade]

@allenholub @AdrianHofman @WoodyZuill The only time I have asked for an "order of magnitude" estimate has been if I fear a misunderstanding on the solution. Maybe someone imagined a quick win while someone else is over-engineering a solution.

[Hackolade @hackolade]

@allenholub @AdrianHofman @WoodyZuill I'll paraphrase in my own words... If you need something done, and you trust your team, then execution will take what it will take. Spending time to come up with estimates is a waste of time since estimates will be wrong anyway and will not affect execution.

@mileswnash @Dynobase is a great tool built by a fantastic team. Also take a look at @hackolade.

One thing is for sure: we keep having more code out there that needs to be maintained.

Keep coding, keep learning as an engineer, because there will be an even bigger need for experienced engineers.

My first manager at Uber started a GitHub page back at the time with resources to become a more proficient developer - ones he personally found helpful (he did not have a CS degree).

I realized he is *still* updating it, 7 years later! A neat list: https://t.co/QtWeltMDWz
