Supposedly, this is what the "deep well" and "15 years of experience" dictates - knowledge must be spread, drift should be detected/prevented early.
> And it’s been working great! ... we’re only one month into the change
But this is just the most obvious nonsense? You can't assess that kind of change in a month?Especially since the big issues can be "pretty rare".
I guess, drift could be swept under the Claude is better at inconsistencies, but then there is no knowledge spreading. What's up with that? It's wisely not even mentioned...
> Deep expertise in a specific technology is a lot less valuable when you have a collaborator that has read all of the source code for that framework and can answer any question about it in a few seconds. This is another case (like what I mentioned above) where knowledge is less valuable, but where judgement is still important
Yet you can't even judge the obvious - that assumption is a fantasy, the models can't answer any question about it. Also, less obvious, the lack of knowledge constrains the quality of questions you can ask, which negatively impacts the quality of the solutions you implement based on those frameworks
