If it was a well understood property of calculators that they gave incorrect answers randomly then you need to adjust the way you use the tool accordingly.
If a carpenter builds a crappy shelf “because” his power tools are not calibrated correctly - that’s a crappy carpenter, not a crappy tool.
If a scientist uses an LLM to write a paper with fabricated citations - that’s a crappy scientist.
AI is not the problem, laziness and negligence is. There needs to be serious social consequences to this kind of thing, otherwise we are tacitly endorsing it.
Poodr is one of the best programming books ever written. Even if you don’t program in Ruby you should read it anyway (and pick up a bit of Ruby just for fun) because there are lots of great concepts to internalize that are useful in almost all programming languages.
I had the pleasure of Sandi Metz coming to a company I worked for and going us a “boot camp” of sorts for all of the engineering principles she espouses and it had a profound impact on how I view software development. Whatever the company paid for her to come - it was worth every penny.
Congrats you turned Slack into (an even worse version of) Jira.
This got me thinking though. Instead of turning your chat into a ticketing system, has anyone ever turned the ticketing system into a chat?
Like instead of “comments” on a ticket, you get a live chat channel (that can be reviewed later as “comments” for historical data).
Most companies I’ve worked for will setup channels on slack in a similar fashion for projects and initiatives but these are not really ergonomic for someone that prefers to “live” in the ticketing system for work management. And context gets lost the older things get.
You could pair this with a general channel for unfocused chitchat, but all relevant work would be discussed under the work item itself. Perhaps a “slack-like” view where you can see all your watched work items at once in “channels”.
No. I refuse to just sit back and accept being abused by the elite just because "well, that's just the way it is", "that's human nature". Holy war is also human nature. Revolution is human nature.
Tiered licensing, mandatory safety training, and weapon classification by law enforcement works really well for Canada’s gun regime, for example.
