Integrated selection pipeline spanning 15 years from age 4 up until age 18.

Was it intentionally made difficult to communicate with the government and LLMs are just not sensitive to the artificial friction?

No, action points I get either from parsing a video capture of a scoreboard or by pulling them over API, depending on which scoreboard/match management system is used.

I do plan to have a front-end for manual annotation of referee performance: correct relative position, timing, determining attacking/defending wrestler etc.

Olympic wrestling education tool.

Indexing multiple captured video streams with awarded action points and adding athlete/referee positions overlay. Stretch goal -- controlling PTZ camera for predictive capture of the high intensity actions.

Cut the pace to 1 hour a week, than some bursts of two to four months of up to 4 hours a day two to three days a week -- that would be close to how I did it. 45 days 8 hours per day is beyond my brain ability to adapt.

Perfection is not "perfectionism". Former is provable given set of constraint. Later is anxiety due to fear of criticism.

"We don't want to build the perfect solution." Can both mean "no need to cover use cases we don't care about" and "no need to deal with divizion by zero in a product, where a number is divided by the user entered number".

Most Germans are not well-read/university educated.

C1 can be achieved (I did it on 360 hours). C2 is academic level of language proficiency -- you have to either deliberately study for the difficult exam or get an university degree in German. Most of the Germans won't be able to pass a C2 test.

When a company sets C2 as a requirement, it can be interpreted as "must have a degree from German University".

I didn't interpret it as "automation bad". The invisible value, cancelled by automation, can also be negative.

Consider a doorman or a waiter in low-trust status based society: to get a service one must exaggerate status signaling and/or bribe the gatekeeper to be deemed worthy of a service. Kiosk doesn't accept bribes and you can trust "no vacancy" from kiosk more than from the doorman.

Depends on the organization and on the SWEs. I do share your understanding, which is making me unfit for organizations, where the authority over "what" is firmly held by POs and the whole vertical on top of them.

CTOs noticed it. When product pipeline is empty, because engineers finished all the outstanding tasks, the engineers are awarded with more work: "The new software engineer is a product leader. Someone thinking about what the product is, not just how it works", or, in other words, engineers are going to be tasked with putting more content "the what" into the product pipeline.

Considering all the possible levels of abstraction software can represent, I'm imagining it as a fractal. The worst case - a mistake can be introduced by generative AI at any of the abstraction levels at any moment. Meaning, at worst case the whole thing has to be in the head of at least one person to validate the result against. The moment a project is growing beyond a single person capacity to hold it in one head possibility of plausibly looking error introduced at any abstraction level is added to the usual multi-engineer coordination costs.

Personal (as in, "for personal use, not a product") conversation partner -- I speak in German, one level is correcting the mistakes, allowing me to reformulate the statement, another level is responding to the intended idea. Rinse, repeat.

I did a project with Claude. With unit and integration tests, whole shebang. First in Python. Reached 25% of MVP and understood that I spend more time fixing subtle type mismatches (int/str, function signature vs call etc.), than adding new code. I've switched to Go (note: I've also made sure tests/frontend/backend code are built within the same context) and finished the MVP, without encountering the same problems even once.

Vacuuming working age population from Ukraine since 2014. Poland did everything right, while Ukrainian governments and businesses were smirking "What are you going to do?" during salary discussions.
