Not super relevant but why are these companies using the terms "Department of War" and "Secretary of War"? They are not real terms and we should not take these people seriously.

I think the one thing missing from bluesky is an AI chatbot where I can chat with the posts and ask them to summarize them as if I'm a medieval peasant

The only thing standing between you and your coworker's awful keyboard shortcut request was (1) the time it takes to put up and merge the PR and (2) your stubbornness.

With Opus getting better every few months it's now more important than ever to be stubborn and hard to work with.

3. Talk to other professions

We are not the first profession forced to coordinate with Automation as a coworker, and we certainly won't be the last. We're not even the first knowledge workers to do so.

How did other laborers deal with this? We don't know because we were busy making websites.

2. Compare program A vs program B

In a similar vein, we simply do not know how to measure one program vs another. Or a function against another. Or even one variableName vs another_variable_name.

"It depends" Depends on what? We never sorted this out.

Things programmers forgot to do before AI started writing a bunch of software:

1. Learn how to review code

Some tools exist, some of them are even quite good! Large organizations have tried to build best practices to balance urgency with correctness, but programmers are still quite bad at this.
