If a human told you things that were correct 80% of the time but claimed, flat out, with absolute confidence, that they were correct 100% of the time, you would dislike them & never trust a word they say. All I'm really suggesting is for people to treat chatbots with that same distrust & antagonism.

all the code! my guess is this will go like clothing: the pieces can be cut by a laser but sewing is a fundamentally adaptive activity. while agents asymptotically chip away at adaptive work, they create more of everything. even sublinear growth in bugs means endless adaptive work for humans

Chicken and egg. We are also telling that generation that skills being taught will be worthless in 18 months.

You can lint. You can write fitness functions. You can set an environment to allow for and encourage good practices and habits. Beyond that it’s more of a hiring problem.

Just like any good habit, it probably won’t stick unless it becomes part of a person’s identity to hold themselves to a standard.

Trying to argue cause/effect is always going to have too strong of an immediacy bias to reliably produce outcomes. Also going to not stay top of mind for long.

Unfortunately most people have a hard time empathizing with their future selves 8 hours from now so it’s probably a very weak motivator.

This quote makes so much more sense now that he’s gone on to rebrand failure as winning.

Can you really call a team fully autonomous with a RTO mandate a la amazon? That seems like pretty big “how you work” lever

Also, let’s break down the post being responded to here for a moment.
This isn’t defeatism. The op is clearly trying to convince a generation of people who got theirs that a systemic problem exists they are not aware of or acknowledging. This is a person futility trying to make things better.

This is a great tactic if your primary concern is never being forced to expand your admissions.
