Are we in the fast part of acceleration?
My wife left medical to become a vibe coder. Once in a while I review her code, and am regularly in awe of her velocity and work quality.
Her secret? She knows exactly what she wants, has incredible attention to detail, and asks her AI assistant to explain its choices.
Everyone’s watching the AI breakthroughs.
The actual war? It’s the silent backroom talent deals, culture curation, contracts, counteroffers, people sliding between teams, while everyone else argues about code.
Trying to supercharge Claude agent workflows.
Manual "@" calls are a pain, making real orchestration feel out of reach. Has anyone cracked agent delegation, maybe with clever hooks?
Craving thoughts from folks in the trenches. Share for visibility if you feel the same way!
Humans write far sloppier #slop than #LLMs could even dream of generating ✍️

You can just ask for things...
How will GenAI change data pipeline engineering?

You could manage the email list yourself for sure. But it's easiest to break things into smaller problems and solve one at a time :)
Freeway was flooded on my way to imaging appointment today at OHSU! #pdx
You can also roll your own analytics! If you know what you want: AI is making it easier than ever to build small scale solutions
Its amazing how much can change without anything being different 😂

What do people think?
Progress FEELS fast when vibe coding, but in reality you have very little control, and rarely progress towards anything meaningful.
Use case for LLM Agents: TDD for Integration Docs.
> Step 1: Create fresh application
> Step 2: Point Agent at Docs (maybe an llms.txt?)
> Step 3: Ask Agent to integrate with your product
✅ Pass = Integration works
Automating this process would be a cool product!
Last week I had a "Black Mirror" thought about a potential negative AI future, so I wrote a short story about it. Curious what folks think :)

AI summary looking nice as well!
When you just built your first AI model and ask your senior why it won’t generalize…
AI generated code is unlikely to forget a semicolon, but it might miss entire branches of logic in a recursive tree analysis; especially if your interfaces are partially or incorrectly defined.
AI does not make simple mistakes, it makes complex ones.
Feature 4: Design for Flexibility
Key Question: What if the world changes? Can I adjust quickly and safely?
Feature 3: Design for Scalability
Key Question: Will my system break if I get a lot of traction quickly? Will I have to redesign?
Feature 2: Design for Testability
Key Question: How do I know a new approach won’t kill my system?
Feature 1: Design for Observability
Key Question: How do I know what is happening, and how that impacts my business?
Keeping these pillars strong isn’t just a technical challenge: it’s a strategic imperative for protecting both your users and your bottom line.
