I think we're seeing more people who use an engineering approach to AI, not just the code it produces, have more success and better outcomes in the longer term. At least from my vantage point. (systems thinking, etc.)
using AI for coding is a deeply technical engineering craft
most people don't approach it as so, and don't get the results we associate with high craft
but the ones who do have been sprinting ahead
more tokens wont save you, more thinking + skill + llm intuition will
have
@JamesMac_Fit Very limited screen time... like, only movies on movie night.
Sometimes we watch shows together on TV.
No tiny screens. Occasionally, a video game. But yeah, not giving our little guys a screen for a long, long time.
The AI time compression phenomenon is a thing. There's so much that I thought happened in August, and it was in February or March... or, last month...
I bet someone smarter than me has words for it, but AI increased what we could accomplish, so memory milestones are closer now.
@housecor Mono repo?
Because AI? <- not a serious answer, but kinda?
But also because shared context when making changes.
Can easily use an api contract generator for the frontend to reference.
Just spitballing without enough context.
@mattpocockuk@zeeg Pair programming (realtime review) + Feature flags + Trunk based development + CI/CD Pipeline = high velocity
^ some parts missing, assuredly, but assuming you have capable engineers that care, the work pipeline above is great! Smaller the feedback loops, the better!
I'm on the waitlist for Sequence Agentic — money automation for AI builders. Watch your agent move real money on June 1. Join: home.getsequence.io/?r=5F0A5DM6
Is anyone doing feature flag development with agents?
Not tried it, but in theory feature flagging is an alternative model to PR's to getting work on main.
1. Put it on main, disabled by a flag
2. Deploy with the rest of the system
3. Unflag to selected users early
4. Fix bugs
We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.
Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.
It will accomplish 4 things (at least )
1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization
Which will
2. Reduce energy
I know my post won't change anyone's mind here, but maybe if we stopped treating model providers poorly and just tried to be decent human beings about it, we'd all be better off.
Poor Boris at Anthropic is trying his hardest, but the fact he has to ask how they can do better goes to show Anthropic has literally no clue why people are ditching Claude Code for Codex.
🍕🍺 In-person Austin DNUG meetup this month! Drinks and food will be provided!
🎤What: Implementing an AI Software Factory on Top of Your DevOps Environment

⌚When: May 21 @ 5:30 CST
📍Where: Calavista (address on Meetup)
Signup: meetup.com/austin-net-use…
Hot take: 🌶️
An agent should be generating nearly all code today.
If the agent fails, the focus should be on improving instructions, prompts, architecture, tools, skills, tests, and feedback loops so it can reliably do so.
