The question โ†’ are current engineers best suited for that role? More importantly, would most enjoy it; shifting away from hands-on technical craft to pure problem definition and agent orchestration?

Thought experiment ๐Ÿง 

Given the shift to product engineering, now assume models write all code <5 years. What does the engineer role become?

Is there a further evolution focused on defining problems, understanding customers, and agent orchestration โ†’ an #AI Product Architect?

3 critical lessons on US driving so far:

๐Ÿ”„ Switched from #Airalo to #BetterRoaming.

Loved Airalo, but BR's reusable single eSIM beats setting up a new one for every country/trip. Pricing is better, though that wasn't a big factor; simplicity of install wins IMO.

Thoughts on AI Extensions:

- This is the future! ๐Ÿ”ฎ
- Adding Todoist project UUIDs make the workflow a lot faster, bypassing "Get Projects" calls
- Would โค๏ธ an OpenAI style playground
- Hard to find decent community examples
- ray.so/presets should be community focused

Comparing to the "Todoist โ†’ Quick Add Task" command:

- Faster due to brain dumping via natural language
- Higher quality tasks as well-structured and consistent
- Ability to extend with other AI extensions (e.g. Calendar)

"Saladday Coffee" โ€” Taito City, Tokyo

My favourite coffee shop in Tokyo due to its handcrafted wooden interior and that it's run single-handedly (common in Japan).
