I hate this. I hate that people, even when slopping, don't even think about how it works. This has to end poorly and I don't see how an increase in "intelligence" is going to save you from the results of blind feature lust
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

Holy shit I just remembered how many people got psyopped into buying maxx'd out Mac Minis to run freaking openclaw lmfao
We have the perfect personal/family/business agent that can magically do everything you need
You just need to connect 1314 services in your life to it
But it’ll be great, trust me, look at this amazing demo
Look, it’ll even work overnight and when you wake up it’ll tell you exactly what you need to do for the day
You really need this though cos you were a fucking idiot before AI
Also we raised hundred million dollars
Just connect those 1527 services first though because it’s so magical

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.

“let’s get on a quick call”
why.
why must we get on a call to discuss something that can be resolved on text with 4 extra brain cells and 2 more sentences of effort.
absolutely torturous habit of people requesting calls for everything. 😤🚩

man reading the replies to adam and the whole levels thing, people are so bad at using their brain
there is no world where you push a button and get rich
if there is a $1M opportunity, 1M people are gonna be after it
it does not matter how tools change and what things are made easier
expectations go up, competition still exists, and you still have to be extremely creative, intelligent and intense to be the winner
it has become 100x easier to build software since 20 years ago and you aren't magically more successful - LLMs aren't going to save you
if you spent half the time getting good instead of finding excuses not to, you might get somewhere

the reason software engineers can't go on strike is productivity might go up if a bunch of them stop working

a really impactful moment for me was understanding that flight was invented before the science of how flight works
most things are invented in this order - just go and tinker! you don't need to develop a unified theory first

A lot of people are worried about the costs of using AWS' container services.
So here's what we did:
1. Set good low cost options as defaults
2. Document in plain English what the costs would be
There's a new cost section in many of our docs. Starting with the VPC...

in sst 3.2.6
we've setup an automation that takes any terraform provider and publishes an sst compatible package
submit a pr with the provider you want and use and add it your project with `sst add planetscale`
this uses the new dynamic tf support in pulumi
