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.
I don’t usually share things like this, but I think it’s important to be honest.
I’ve been looking for a full-time role since September.
I’m a senior iOS engineer + product designer with 10+ years experience, and I’ve spent that time building and shipping real products (most recently: @ateiq_app, @naturalis_app, @getuppapp).
Despite interviews and ongoing work, I’m now about a month away from needing something stable for my family.
If you know a team that values someone who can both design and build, I’d really appreciate an introduction.
Thank you! ❤️

Do we really have the greatest army in the world right now? I don’t think United States does because if it did, why would they behave like this? It just feels childish 🙄
President Donald Trump says a US military blockade of Iranian ports is now in effect, but that there’s still plenty of room for Iran to make a deal.

@h_liyan Yeah, in 2021 Avant Premiere did a full nationwide drive for Google Maps to refresh the data, so that’s why everything feels much updated. They also use user driven features to collect things like traffic, colour lights, and police which helps keep the map accurate in real time.

After a long time, I submitted my answer to one of the Stack Overflow questions today, and I was genuinely surprised that it felt like I actually learned something and solved it myself, not something generated by AI. I feel this is the best way to learn something.
