  The failure mode of experienced engineers with AI is over-specifying: telling the model to do the task exactly the way they would have done it.

  Their words

  So when I look at engineers that have been, you know, coding for a long for a long time, you know, like for for years or for decades, this is a really really common failure mode is trying to over specify and it's trying to be overly specific and then, you know, get the model to do the to do the task exactly the way that you would have done it. And that that's just not the way the model works.

  Students who learn everything through an LLM are not learning, they are cheating, and the skill loss is already showing up in experienced programmers too.

  LLMs

  Their words

  I think a lot of people, especially students, are unfortunately learning everything through LLMs. So a lot of that isn't really learning, they're just kind of cheating and they're just doing everything like that. And then they lose a lot of their skills

  Working at a company turns you into a power user, which is why pattern matching fails and even an experienced growth leader is wrong all the time.

  Their words

  I've worked a lot of companies right but I'm wrong all the time and I think consumer behavior can be very fickle and especially when you work at a company you become a power user naturally. So sometimes you you may forget like what the actual user experience is for a brand new user.

  The Rails doctrine's 'progress over stability' is the one point that dated: churn is not progress, and stability turned out to be worth more.

  On changing their mind

  I used to think it required more churn to get progress to stay on the leading edge of new stuff. And I wrote this before I experienced the indignity of the 2010s in the JavaScript community.

  For an experienced programmer the bottleneck is usually not thinking but typing, getting what is already in your head into the editor fast enough.

  developer tools

  Their words

  Most of the time I'm not thinking, I'm programming. I know what I want to do, I want to go as fast as possible because I've been just doing it for so long and I'm so familiar with the general space that it becomes a huge problem for me. I cannot tell you how many times that I've been purely bottlenecked by the fact that I just can't type fast enough and I just need to get it out of my head onto the text editor.
