- Yeah this is true. It was a vacation period where the mess happened, now its just a few hours the mess happens right? I am guilty of it too.
- The code has become really harder to generate but what and why is still blank for the generator. But the mess and the expectations are not the same. People expect to work more, and get results quick. Sure they can do it, but a human mind can only comprehend certain things, it can’t switch to ultra mode like claude and produce slop like it. There are limitations on the context humans can hold and again, humans will be the bottleneck for understanding and reviewing. This makes me hopeful, I am a person who can think on problems and go deep, but when pressured, it catastrophically blinds me of my own judgements and then the delegation becomes a mess.
- This is a good thought to have in the back of mind to keep yourself sharp and alert.
