I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
@FarzaTV@mertduzgun here's one usecase, i submitted this as a backup idea on my YC W26 app 5 months ago, a multimodal DAP that sees and listens to what users do in real time, helping enterprise SaaS cos guide users through complex workflows, improve onboarding and UX, and surface insights for PMs.
After today's truly epic match, even the doubters and naysayers out there will understand why we wanted to host an India v Pakistan series. Just imagine today's drama in -4 Celsius. Fire and ice on steroids.
@divyayyy Saw a dude who almost got canceled for saying that he had a better experience ordering Biryani in India than in the US. I don't understand why everyone is so angry all the time. lol
