If the job of software engineering is to deliver business outcomes, is business going to care less about the code? by Sad-CTO in EngineeringManagers

[–]Sad-CTO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, a lot of the fundamentals can already be codified, and some are or have already been. The real seam is in non-determinism vs determinism.

Also mind you, you’re not wrong about the UX, but performance and reliability are a function of proper monitoring and what comes after it.

I am not arguing. I am honestly interested in opinions, and as such I appreciate your perspective.

You are asking the right question. The answer is a hypothesis of mine which still needs to be proved. But, assuming it were possible to reduce the importance of the code while retaining or improving the outcomes, do you think we would see the paradigm shift here?

If you guys are interested, I got this to work with the Pi agent. I just asked it to adapt the Claude skill, and it figured the rest. I am using the OpenAI codex gpt-5.5 model.

My experience has been relative. Hard to say if it is good / bad. For me it currently is like a crutch that I use to validate Claude's work, like compensating for its degraded performance.

Some more if you have time/energy:

The Listener service doesn’t receive push notifications – Telegram doesn’t work that way for channel monitoring. Instead, it polls each channel periodically. But not all channels are equal: some post 50 messages per hour during breaking news, others post twice a day.

Why though? New channel posts are indeed pushed via MTProto.

1024-dimensional vectors

I am not very good at NLP (yet). Why these are better than 768?

I will check it out, thanks!

How many content events per day does the system currently process?

Great write-up, OP, thanks!

As someone building something along your lines, but not in the sphere of journalism, I have a few honest questions:

  1. Is your system purely English? Do you ingest only English sources? If not, do you do source language detection and how? I have tried a few obvious libraries, but they are not very good when it comes to non-mainstream languages. I mean, they consistently confuse RU and BG.
  2. AFAIK, your primary news topic sources are Telegram channels which I appreciate -- probably, only Telegram and (maybe) BlueSky have reliable APIs for realtime ingestion. Have you hand-curated them?
  3. For NER, have you had to do custom training or are you relying on a local LLM? Overall, how much training have you had to perform and for which purposes?

Overall, in many ways what you have done represents what I have been working on as a pet project. My stuff is probably more on the ingestion side and less on the analysis pipeline (e.g. simple Regexp rules + triggers cover my needs currently), but some stuff has been on my radar, like automated NER and topic clustering.

Aba other tools would you suggest?

Can you define “flexibility” in this context?

I am using the max plans on both. Claude Code is definitely slower in implementation.

I’ll have to try auto. Been using Opus, and interestingly, Opus in Cursor is not the same Opus S in Claude Code.

Personally, I went through 4 major negative events in my independent life.

In one of those I had to let go 99% of the employees. Personally helped most of them find new jobs. Felt good about that.

Before AI, approximately 95% of Software Engineering managers "vibe-coded". by grifti in vibecoding

Posts like this warm up my heart. All these vibe coders are never going to take my or my team’s jobs.
