Under "What it cost us" there's a chart for customer facing changes per engineer per month. They are monitoring customer facing changes. That's certainly real impact vs LOC. While it doesn't give a direct correlation to NPS or profits, it is a real indication of velocity.

right but...

> The main difference between the two experiments was that dogs in study 1 showed a general bias toward looking at the spiky shapes. That bias disappeared in study 2, when their owners were wearing headphones.

... so, they accounted for it, and the control group (group wearing headphones) showed no significance in the dog's behavior. Seems like a huge claim when their control group to rule out the hans effect failed.

There’s a huge difference between does it work vs is it elegant.

As a software engineer I have been strict on making sure my code is elegant.

Vibe coding has switched me to product (and project) manager. Why would I care about what the code looks like? Does it work!? Does it do what I want? Does the app have the right UI and UX? These are my concerns now. I rarely look at the output code.

Love this! Be it design specs or a mock from the designer. So many unaccounted for decisions. Good devs will solve many on their own, uplevel when needed, and provide options.

And absolutely it means more design up front. And without human in the direct loop, maybe people won’t skimp on this!

If I had a human assistant, I'd ask them to book my flight. The chat box is your window to your AI assistant. Maybe this new assistant hasn't earned your trust yet, but it makes sense that trust-aside, you'd ask your assistant to do whatever they could do for you.

The fact that this deactivation feels possible is still a telling sign of where we’ve been heading. Update fail. Subscription lapsed payment. All sorts of new failure modes.

Only off by one character, how hard could that be?

Same!

Just installed Nuenki, really excited to give this a try. Amazing how it can hopefully iteratively help me learn Spanish while I don't change my behavior much.

Been doing this the last 10 months. Lots of growth and self-discovery. Best wishes on your journey!

My images say "Created with DALLE" below them, and a little info icon tells me they are rolling out the new one soon.

The examples they show have little captions that say "best of #", like "best of 8" or "best of 4". Hopefully that truly represents the odds of generating the level of quality shown.

I like the framing of "defaults" too. Gives space for suggestion and change.

Our team currently relies on thingamajig's responsiveness and cannot tolerate a change in performance. We will setup a temporary replica of thingamajig. Can you please hold off until our thingamajig replica is stable. My team expects this to be done by March 8th.

If I don't hear back from you by lunchtime, I WILL eat your leftovers.
