So, I get that AI must be used.
But who the f*ck wants YouTube videos auto dubbed (badly)?
Like if I want bad dubbing, at least let me choose it, don't make it a default!

I had the opportunity to make myself unhireable for the small price of self vindication on LinkedIn.
I am quite proud to say I let it go and I remain (barely) hireable.

I said this on a slack I am part of:
I am more and more opposed to code reviews and see less and less sense to them. Especially asynchronous code reviews.

Processes should be at the service of alignment, either intra-team or extra-team.
You should not be afraid of removing processes but you should not be afraid of adding them either.

I started using AI to code again when returning to work.
I am less impressed than before, it doesn't code worse 'per se', but it is really hard to keep it contained at a pace I want.
Basically, word predictor is going to word predict.

Just, remember when they said that about us?
Both are equally false, but come on! It annoyed you then, don't repeat it!

In defense of companies adding a 'make longer with AI' button (aka slopify), most of them are adding a 'sumarize with AI' button to de-ai-fy.
It's like sending a zipped message, but with more bytes, burning the planet in the process and getting an approximate result.

There are two types of #Rails codebases:
One follows the 'rails way', uses minitest doesn't add other subfolders under /app, uses ERB.
The other uses RSpec, has services and/or interactors, uses slim.
Which one do you work on?
Me: Second, wish it was first.

Especially in smaller companies, the goal is not to write the most code, it is to write the right code.
Most places work at maximizing the amount of code written.
An advantage of Software Teaming is that it forces you to write less code.
