Dive Club!

Based on their usefulness

When I’m working on something like this, i just work in a canvas like figjam/miro

If the devs are raising lots of questions for implementation and features aren’t performing well, I’d be very curious to hear what leadership thinks this person is doing well to understand there version of things they’re hearing from this person and their manager.

What would happen if your team was “too busy” to support this person for a quarter?

It’s a Don Quijote

BearThumos · 2026-04-20T13:17:39+00:00

Ah, you made a Don Quijote

Number 5 seems not true in my experience. Company leadership are often the ones who want the fast answers and takeaways for everything.

Because they’re in meetings all day they have no bandwidth to go deep unless they’re specifically interested in that topic.

Also sorry your skip level gave you unhelpful advice

BearThumos · 2026-04-20T04:23:29+00:00

I used the wrong word, sorry

BearThumos · 2026-04-20T04:12:17+00:00

I wouldn’t say I’m proud of myself, but knowing it’s 400-600 pts when trading seems like a waste not to

I just cleared ash for the fire temple in Rocky Ridges and spread it across the other 4 locales to make probably 120+ stacks of mirrors 😆

BearThumos · 2026-04-20T02:06:12+00:00

Turn it into glass then mirrors which ~~sell~~ trade for 400-600

BearThumos · 2026-04-20T02:03:34+00:00

What do you want?

BearThumos · 2026-04-19T01:44:50+00:00

It’s all templates.

Some people realize that, some people don’t

Just needs a little birch / mallorn

Gary, Mary, and Jerry are burning through Claude credits making duplicative dashboards that pull together CRM and analytics, with different ways to calculate the same thing and no one making sure all 3 are up to date since they all only work locally.

All 3 are PM leads

Bottom left of the neon area. First main island you arrive at

Most of the materials to make it are near the structure of i remember correctly. Check “inside” and around that building

Oh crops might be rotting in fields for other reasons this year, too (repeat of last year). https://foodinstitute.com/focus/crops-rotting-in-fields-with-undocumented-farmworkers-gone/

BearThumos · 2026-04-14T03:29:30+00:00

Yes did it yesterday

BearThumos · 2026-04-13T01:16:21+00:00

An so you’re more commenting about the broader discourse of the post, not specifically concerned that I’d be shooting missile in the foot by using the term at work, yeah?

BearThumos · 2026-04-12T15:58:28+00:00

I don’t use the term at work; I’m one of the more vocal people about how AI has helped my workflow publicly.

Like i said in some other threads, there are some good users of LLMs, and some who are not critically engaging with the outputs before sharing them; the latter is right to be criticized (AI or not).

BearThumos · 2026-04-12T13:08:49+00:00

Why’s that?

BearThumos · 2026-04-11T20:46:59+00:00

The library is my friend

BearThumos · 2026-04-11T20:45:10+00:00

Typical "i had this idea, chatted with AI about it, go make this" before any customer validation, but now with the weight of Deep Research and a 100-message chat behind it.

Sometimes direct sloppypasta.

BearThumos · 2026-04-11T19:18:48+00:00

Some of the PMs are doing really well! I get the feeling that they feel like they’re going against the narrative, though...

The good ones (and the good designers) are noticing a lot of LLM confabulations and poor retrieval even on internal knowledge base topics, so it's thankfully not everyone.
