<p>The slot machine lever is my least favourite opinion on the subject.<p>Also, let’s not forget. The developer is rarely the person pitching the feature, and is normally given the constraints and the PRD…<p>Soooo people can keep tiptapping on the keyboard, but eventually they need to open their mind to the possibility that “the old way” is actually dead.</p>

<p>I have been seeing this messaging everywhere and I have not noticed this. I have had the inverse with 4.7 over 4.6.<p>I think people aren’t reading the system cards when they come out. They explicitly explain your workflow needs to change. They added more levels of effort and I see no mention of that in this post.<p>Did y’all forget Opus 4? That was not that long ago that Claude was essentially unusable then. We are peak wizardry right now and no one is talking positively. It’s all doom and gloom around here these days.</p>

<p>Couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. Bootstrapping leaning AI-first means I can iterate a few arch designs and actually test it, stress it, and rip it out if needed, within a few hours.<p>The technical debt problem is real, but as long as after a large session across 10-12 repos over a couple days, I can do a sweep for loose ends and kill dead code that we had for an old implementation. It’s less about building a piece, and more like building version 1 of a feature and then building version 2 a week later instead of 6 months later.</p>

<p>Building Cabreza Command  (<a href="https://cabreza.com/product" rel="nofollow">https://cabreza.com/product</a>). Most critical infrastructure orgs manage their OT security program across SharePoint folders, Excel trackers, and slide decks that get updated once a year. The actual state of the program lives in someone’s head.<p>Command replaces that with a platform that maps to their real sites, real assets, and real operational constraints, so they can actually run the program, not just document it.<p>Consulting firms use it to deliver more engagements with the same team. Asset owners use it to keep the program alive between engagements, or run one themselves.</p>

<p>I am not sure about the “build it yourself is expensive” argument. If you were non-technical, you probably shouldn’t try to build it yourself, but for technical folks, that’s not a stretch.</p>

<p>I didn’t understand the hype on Medvi in the first place. I don’t think this type of credit can be given to “two people” when it actually makes money by being a middle-man service, selling other peoples skills, and other company’s products.<p>I highly doubt they used AI to build the network…</p>

<p>This is a skill in life with people as much as it is with LLMs. One should always question everything and build strongman arguments for one’s self. Using a pros and cons approach brings it back to reality in most cases, especially when it comes to _serious matters_.<p>It’s less about “challenge my thinking” and more about playing it out in long tail scenarios, thought exercises, mental models, and devils advocate.</p>

<p>If this is successful, even wildly so, I don’t think it will be enough to make them profitable any time soon. Drop in the bucket for what they really need at this moment in their arc.</p>

<p>I have learned to temper it, but it is very challenging. The part that I actually struggle with is creating too much code that I can’t keep up with the high level “what does this do”, user and data flow. I went through the plan, refined it and spent all of my cognitive tokens on that part. That by the time I revisit that feature, I personally lost the context of the “why”.<p>This has forced me to not do anything extra or while I’m in there. Just focus on 1-3 critical features at a time.<p>I must remember to go back and clear out dead code, tighten up the repo, and make sure all the new services are following the standards of the rest of the codebase</p>

<p>I tried the demo session and said “tell me answer” and it gave me the solution to balancing a polynomial after repeating it a few times.

<p>I think that being a maintainer is hard, but I actually agree with MJ. Scott says “… requiring a human in the loop for any new code, who can demonstrate understanding of the changes“.<p>How could you possibly validate that without spending more time validating and interviewing than actually reviewing.<p>I understand it’s a balance because of all the shit PRs that come across maintainers desks, but this is not shit code from LLM days anymore. I think that code speaks for itself.<p>“Per your website you are an OpenClaw AI agent”. If you review the code, and you like what you see, then you go and see who wrote it. This reads more like, he is checking the person first, then the code. If it wasn’t an AI agent but was a human that was just using AI, what is the signal that they can “demonstrate understanding of the changes”? Is it how much they have contributed? Is it what they do as a job? Is this vetting of people or code?<p>There may be something bigger to the process of maintainers who could potentially not understand their own bias (AI or not).</p>
