<p>Ha, sorry! The fact we can't share individual windows. Co-screen was perfect for us.</p>

<p>> Why have we not seen an improvements in products?<p>Huh? I'm seeing improvements in products _everywhere_. E.g. Linear. My team has been a heavy user of Linear for years. They have shipped a huge amount of things in the last 6 months, and the gaps between major changes is dropping.<p>It is twice as useful for our team as it was last year.<p>I'm genuinely impressed.</p>

<p>As someone who partially uses depot but was still affected by this github issue, we obviously haven't moved over enough. We use your runners but github is still blocking us.<p>Hope you don't mind the public ask, it seems useful for others.<p>If we're using depot runners, and want to use them directly, or move off of github actions being the controller for when things run: what do you suggest?<p>Trigger the workflows directly on depot via CLI?</p>

<p>There's a big difference between these situations:<p>- a PR that is quickly drafted by LLM based on a prompt<p>- a careful spec designed by humans, worked on by AI<p>- a feature built with a dev and LLM closely working together, with code reviews<p>- a feature with parts fixed up by AI, but 90% human written<p>- human written, checked with AI<p>etc<p>Is anyone moving towards a standard way of describing this? I'd love something that can go at the bottom of an communication / PR / proposal.</p>

<p>1 ticket: you can only sell back, no name change. You’re solo, not going with anyone, this works.<p>2 tickets: you can either sell them both back, OR change ONLY one name once. This means you have the option of buying two tickets up front, before you lock-in your companion.<p>It works well, I’ve experienced this for festival tickets.</p>

<p>It’s not 17m for an idea to improve git.<p>It’s 17m for a tool which hopes to serve companies and charge money and make more than 17m in profit as a result.<p>If you look at the set of dev tooling, teams will frequently pay many hundreds per dev on things like CI, Git tools, code review, etc.<p>And to be fair, GitHub is really quite bad for a lot of workflows. I haven’t used gitbutler, but my team pays ~$30 a month per dev for tools which literally just provide a nicer interface for stacking PRs, because it saves us WAY more than that in time.<p>This isn’t even an egregious example of VC, it’s just an enterprise dev tooling bet.</p>

<p>100%. I have a guiding approach when solving problems: keep reframing and exploring until the solution becomes obvious.<p>I often find, if I've got a complicated solution, it’s because I haven’t fully examined the problem.</p>

<p>Author’s central point is that an LLM answer “is optimized for arrival, not for becoming” (to paraphrase from the Google “Lucky” part).<p>So a reasoning LLM that does the comparisons and checks “like a human” still fails the author’s test.<p>That said, this still feels like a skill issue. If you want to learn, see opposing views gather evidence to form your own opinions about, LLMs can still help massively. You just have to treat them research assistants instead of answer providers.</p>

<p>If you remove a reaction to politics and/or management practice, this is quite an obvious question, no?<p>Hypothetically: Substitute Microsoft for a company with “zero downtime” as one of their company values.<p>Now imagine you were asked “What impact did your actions have in contributing to zero downtime at Hostingsoft?”<p>That wouldn’t be a controversial question.</p>
