Feeling busy is definitely not the same as being productive.

@davepl1968 Cool! Next feature is a turbo button.

Too many are just taking themselves right out of the decision-making process.

You might believe you should spend less time thinking about code because of AI.

I strongly disagree! We’re watching this play out live where tons of AI generated code becomes a liability.

At the end of the day, an engineer needs to be responsible / on call for code that gets shipped to production. If you don’t understand the system you’re trying to debug, you’re probably going to have a bad time.

Yes, AI can help with all of this, if you set up the proper systems. You can have agents triage prod logs, look at errors, etc. You can speed up parts of the investigation, but an engineer needs to make the call. There might be serious customer or financial implications from that change.

I expect the trend continue for trimming dependencies, vendoring code so you can modify it directly, preferring simpler systems with fewer abstractions, and spending waaaay more time thinking about system design and code maintenance.

I’ve said this before, but it’s a great time to get familiar with CS fundamentals and some of the history behind what great software looks like. Many parts will be different in the coming years as AI progresses, but also a lot more than people realize will stay the same.

NEW: AI is reportedly pushing McKinsey & rival consulting firms to rethink pricing, as clients are “questioning the value” of human advice.

Filing a formal consumer complaint after radio silence again from @NordicTrack.

It certainly seems like they are dragging this out past the return window instead of working to resolve the situation.

[Jasen Wyatt @jas3n]

Pretty frustrating experience with @NordicTrack.
We were sold on a trade-in & upgrade to one of their new machines - including a 3 year @iFit membership plan - end of March with the expectation that they would haul-away the old equipment. As of today, those terms have not been met. Three failed visits the last number of weeks - one technician damaged the old equipment attempting to disassemble - and seemingly nobody knows how, or cares to, resolve it.
For a company selling premium fitness equipment, and claiming “Expert Delivery, Assembly and Haul-Away” this level of follow-through is unacceptable.
I’ve tried resolving this privately over the last few weeks, each time they suggested they were escalating it, to be told again today that I would likely have to reschedule a fourth attempt after someone looks into it.
Customers shouldn’t have to work this hard for a pre-agreed upon service. At this point, we’ve gone well above-and-beyond to accommodate our end of the bargain.

@KennyKott I’d like to witness them getting in; however, I fear they would just get destroyed - on the scoresheet and in every other facet of playoff hockey. But hey, they would get experience and maybe that would surface more evidence to make the necessary changes?

@CherryJimbo Ugh, yeah. My eyes hurt looking at the sections with the poor color contrast.

Battlestar Galactica (2004–2009) drops you straight into a fleet on the run after near-extinction, humans and Cylons circling each other, trust breaking down fast, and it just keeps tightening the pressure the whole way.
