disagree, I think however it was written, it conveys some interesting thoughts on the gap between User AI generated MVP apps and the process of making them production ready.

this - I'm wondering why this isn't getting picked up more in the analysis? Its an accounting trick, which is not sustainable. Time will tell.

I love SimCity, never forget the first time I played it on an Amiga 500.

Then one day my friend lent me his 512KB ram upgrade and it was a different game :-)

I love locust.io and looking at the features that this adds, I look forward to adding it to my toolbox.

It actually produces the exact opposite, my observation from experience is:

Some people will now work the system and want to be made redundant, by doing the minimum possible.

Good people will leave for other opportunities.

This takes months/years to fix/heal. The fixing process is reset every time you do a new round of lay offs.

No need to apologise, a polite "I ran X which solves Y" related to the post is encouraged. Helps the rest of us learn about other solutions out there :-)

Will checkout OpenContext, thanks for the link

I've found that candidates have little or non appetite for take home problems.

If they are busy interviewing, putting aside 2-3 hours (which is not much really) per interview, limits how many they are willing to do per week. As its still a candidate driven market.

Keep in mind, people have to find the spare time while doing their jobs and living life. If they have a family - good luck finding spare time :-)

The best win/win I've found is to pair with someone for about 30 minutes. You help each other, just like you do in real life.

Its called "Instant Messaging" :-) So I think the expectation is built into the name, even if you don't agree.

"Success is finding a path forward among the options that actually exist."

..just so simple and elegant, particularly given the rise in hindsight and purely principle focussed cultures, that are developing in tech.
