If I'm abusing Show HN feel free to downvote (I know this blurs the line between a job post and a Show), but genuinely just trying to get some feedback from other engineers / engineering leaders on an approach we're trying here @ DocLoop re: engineering interviewing.TLDR: Now that coding is no longer at a premium my thesis is that alignment is more precious than ever.... this is my optimistic...
This is the most American news story ever
Agreed - fix fast. No way to take a tool seriously about taking care of production that has such a blatant production issue
But we’re great now I thought?
It’s a crude comparison but it’s a lot more similar to what I’ve done in my management roles than what I’ve done as a dev.
To be a little less vague - I think the biggest difference I’ve seen is where time is spent. In the past since I know what I’m doing I’d go straight into dev mode pretty quickly
.
Going straight into dev mode with an LLM pretty much always goes wrong - a lot more time is spent in planning and in setting up constraints for how an agent can operate before letting it loose so that once you set it free it can run.
I think a big part of this discussion lost for a lot is a lot of people are trying to copy/paste how we’ve been developing software over the past twenty years into this new world which simply doesn’t work effectively.
The differences are subtle but those of
us who are fully bought in (like myself) are working and thinking in a new way to develop effectively with LLMs. Is it perfect? Of course not - but is it dramatically more efficient than the previous era? 1000%. Some of the things I’ve done in the past month I really didn’t think were possible. I was skeptical but I think a new era is upon us and everyone should be hustling to adapt.
My favorite analogy at the moment is that for awhile now we’ve been bowling and been responsible for knocking down
the pins ourselves. In this new world we are no longer the bowlers, rather we are the builders of bumper rails
that keep the new bowlers from landing in the gutter.
For the newly initiated - can you help explain some common use cases? I’m not sure I fully grok practical usage of this

I dread a future where every internet interface is just a prompt. I built this library more as inspiration than a formal recommendation; my goal is to show that we can still have wonderful, intuitive, and varied UI/UX without being limited to the ubiquitous chat interface found in every product today.
What services do people primarily use to accomplish these tasks today? All custom work?
Can someone dumb this down a bit for a non data-engineer? Hard to fully wrap my head around who this is/isn’t best suited for.
Damn what a strange time to be alive. Juxtaposing this against the constant nonsense coming from RFK is as jarring as it gets.
Please fix how slow notion is before expanding your brand. It’s becoming unusable as it eats up all resources of my M2 mac
This sounds too similar not to be - Fukada?
I made a silly twilio app for my daughter’s 1st birthday party where guests had a set of photos in front of them and they had to guess the correct age ordering and could validate their guess to win a prize using the temporary number I had setup.

A word of advice. You spent the time writing this post knowing full well it would get a lot of hits but it appears you haven't yet updated your resume. Little details like that go a long way towards winning over a lot of hiring managers.Good luck!
Best of luck! Just went through a lot of interviews with a number of engineering companies before finally settling on an offer, and can strongly agree a more human approach is sorely needed. I get that there is a strong fear of hiring under-qualified candidates, but the true cost is a loss of perspective on long-term hiring.
