> Implementation is what AI is getting good at. Knowing whether the result actually solves the real problem is not an engineering judgment call, it is a domain judgment call.
Reposting to call out those two quotes and agree that this matches my experience as a staff developer…

@shanselman Scott, the paper frames the problem well but undersells one angle: the mid-tier. There is a huge population of devs who are not senior by title or years but have deep domain knowledge from living inside a product or industry for a long time. Those people get just as much of a boost as seniors, sometimes more, because they know exactly what to ask for and what to reject. The binary of "senior vs EiC" misses that. The preceptorship model is solid in theory but I am not sure it addres…

Beware of this person (yogthos). I commented on his toot and he attacked me in his answer and then blocked me.
#China

@yogthos I don't agree with "China developing in a peaceful way". China is threatening Taiwan with annexation by force and their fighter jets are flying close to Taiwan every day. You might also ask the Philippine fishers who are pushed away from their traditional fishing grounds in the West Philippine Sea / South China Sea. USA becoming the bad guy doesn't make China the good guy. @yogthos@social.marxist.network @fremandolasse China is threatening China is the dumbest take I've heard in a wh…
