I used instinct to buy baby gifts for two friends. And shit happened.

One couple is having a boy, the other a girl. The agent asked if I wanted colors to lean boy/girl or stay neutral. I said “neutral is fine.” Both orders were paid and went through.

Then nothing shipped.

Guess what, each item needed a color. The agent never picked one, the merchant accepted the order anyway, and the fulfillment system couldn’t process it.

You see, @jbahrdestefano it’s not only you lol

Most of the companies out there built their flows for humans. Agents act differently, they guess, skip, or improvise. When that happens, shit happens.

If your company is accepting AI agents you must track all of their actions. Understand if those actions match against the intent of the user, preventing incorrect actions before they happen.

Easy to think about this use case by itself. But when you imagine thousands of agents every hour coming to your platform, dealing with this scale will be a challenge.

There are some cool folks working on this, if your company is facing any issues, talk to them. They're called @beltichq

@Starbucks My Instinct agent got blocked from the starbucks website after a few interactions. Then, I couldn't sign in myself either. Can you create the infrastructure to allow good bots access?

IC2 is the "software engineer 2" level at @sourcegraph, which is not atypical to have someone with 1-3 years of experience do.

At companies where relatively entry-level engineers are given meaningful ownership: everything moves much faster.

How do we expect people to adopt DeFi when they can’t even handle $6 gas fees.

Plus, now that I have the practice, I’ll finish the task quicker next time. As your skill set expands, you become more valuable to the team. In the long term, that’s more efficient than having the Senior eng repeat the same task and not grow.

[Jake Morales @jakem_dev]

As a Junior engineer, I used to think, “Isn’t it less efficient to give me a task that would take me 2 days while a Senior eng would take 2 hours?” The truth is that the Senior eng has 10 other things to do and that’s 1 less task off their plate.

[Jake Morales @jakem_dev]

It’s actually more efficient this way, because not every task requires the high skills and high salary of a Senior eng. Also, the Senior would probably get unhappy having to do many relatively unchallenging tasks.

[Jake Morales @jakem_dev]

I thought using these would help me get my first dev job, but I have a feeling they’re not that impactful.

[Jake Morales @jakem_dev]

You don’t have to over-engineer your side projects.

[Jake Morales @jakem_dev]

You probably don’t need GraphQL, kubernetes, an event-driven architecture, an extensive CI/CD pipeline, etc. These are tools that make sense in big organizations, but are usually overkill for small hobby projects.

COVID situation in India is extremely dire. Thanks to Sandeep for setting this up. Urging the global crypto community to help.

For every RT, I’ll donate $50 to fight COVID in India, up to $50k. #cryptovscovid
