I guess it does make it easier for people to be lazy and get away with it. That being said, I’d be surprised if ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini actually provided _zero_ useful feedback.

Not exactly the same, but instead of my co-workers just pasting “LGTM” on everything, I’d probably prefer an LLM review.

I mean, thinking through a problem you’re trying to solve before starting makes sense, and having rough milestones is important - but a majority of the time there’s so many unknown unknowns that fully breaking it down is totally useless, if not impossible.

If I spent the same amount of time it took me to break a project down just working on figuring out a solution or building it, it’d get done way sooner. At least, that’s how it feels.

I’ve posted this before but I love it so much I gotta do it again.

You plug in a piece of ASM from a video game ROM, and it gives you a first pass decompilation. On the left hand side you can edit this decompilation, and on the right there’s a side-by-side diff of the target ASM and what your source currently compiles to. It’s slightly gamified, looks great, is super easy to fork/share, and can be pretty addicting once you get into it. Super cool community.

I'm not sure I agree with that, maybe TT could have incentives to _actively_ sow distrust and division, but I think it's fair to say that FANG companies are doing this today, driven mostly by maximizing ad views & creating negative feedback loops where we get echo chambers

Edit: ok - I'll admit, I didn't read the whole article at first. I still stand by my point, though - even when I'm simply identifying those gaps and not fixing them, I still don't see engineers being rewarded proportionally for the value they're bringing their employers.
