how? management in most Tech companies are incentivizing them to do just that, so if you bring it up, they'll happily trot over to your manager to complain and then the uncomfortable conversation is you with management about why you're getting in the way of AI uptake by the team.

Or maybe they just didn't have the time (left it to the last minute and ran out of it), and went with the first thing that AI proposed which was said CLI with documentation.

SLO timelines are usually over 7d, 30d etc no? and also often don't work that great for backend services in my experience ... they can't give you the level of reactivity that defining alerts about things you care about give you. I'd argue that moving from that direction upwards to figure out what alerts to aggregate and define SLOs around, rather than the other way around in those cases.

I don't think that massive downturn people are thinking is coming ... is going to come. The job market is too strong (because of lower immigration, and how many exited the job market during covid) and so is the housing market.

I thinks its going to be more like this for the next 8-12 months, until the fed stops raising interest rates, and then it will be a mad dash to get everything going again.

Bird is another big one, they've been trading below the $1 watermark for a week or two now, after 30 days of consecutively trading under $1 companies get delisted from the exchange.

> A great way to understand yourself is to seriously reflect on everything you find irritating in others.

This is one of the truest things I've ever read.

The people who like your new stuff will help you figure out how to fix it and make it good enough so the old system truly becomes obsolete, otherwise the old system will continue to exist and people will continue to use it, so that now, theres 2 options instead of just one.
