It indeed is and I like this analogy a lot. A lot of critical systems can definitely learn from aviation. It's one of the finest balances of humans and automation.

Interesting Idea for engagement. Although I think slides suck in general and often used for one way communication, especially suck for Software Development. A doc is much more preferable and a lot of collaborative docs like Google Doc exist.

This is everything not just software. Although a lot of what we wear, eat and drink come from factory, if it didn't, you can always tell the someone behind it. Handcrafted things easily have more value and I find myself thinking more about it only after it affected what I did daily (software). Since Industrial revolution, countless things have gone to the factories. Makes me think how little we really empathize as humans.

True and only when you own the entire project, you can do whatever you want. Most codebases are shared and it sucks to be forced to look at slop.

>> we are coming back to what software engineering really is: understanding a problem and building a good solution.

I wish this were true, most of the people I work with now don't understand the problem, don't know the implementation and definitely don't build a good solution. They appear to be doing everything but poorly. Excellent at check boxing everything for performative performance.

Meaning they realized they hit a wall. The next new model isn't that much better than the last in quality.

Coding is not just the program running in memory, its also the process of distributing the mental model of understanding among the team.

If humans increasingly are kept out of coding, then who holds the mental model?

If AI holds the mental model, by definition human prompts will be over lossy channel. This is true without AI too. Software quality is directly dependent on good devs that translate from business/PM speak to technical decisions.

So is coding solved now? it was already solved decades ago.

I actually enjoy herdr a lot, and not just for agent management but the whole multiplexer is plenty powerful defaults and easier than tmux.

At some point though, it's too much information for my tiny human brain to process, even more than 3 agents is hard to manage and context switch. What is the point of managing herd of swarm of whatever I wonder?

Does a burger flipper enjoy flipping burgers all day? - Not unless you're a robot. But Making a Gourmet burger without time pressure? - yes No it is not enjoyable if you have enjoyed coding by hand earlier and like your craft. Maybe for some grunt work or work that you could never do it is great. I've given up trying to enjoy at professional work.

This is it. Sustainability. Not everything has to be about more money quickly. You don't even need VCs for that. More win to bootstrappers! I see a lot of folks bootstrapping in the LLM era, but that can be defeaned in the VC noise.

I do have lots of hobbies, but none would pay a wage. Maybe open a small business of some kind. Surf shop or bike rentals. How does one break into being an electrician? I do like electronic repairs, but not mechanical ones like cars

Sorry to hear. Repairs do sound fun if you're physically inclined

Very cool and definitely useful. I'm not the audience but I'll say: I like my ereader to just have books that sync. That is all. It's my library room and peace time, the last thing I need is Claude to distract me.
