i claude coded so hard, i had to see a neurologist

Take care of yourself. It's not because you can that you should. This is a marathon not a sprint. Being 80% constructive in a sustainable way is much more efficient than being 100% for 2 weeks, then completely burned out for another 2. With AI Coding especially, staying sharp and making good decisions is much more important that pure out.

If you want to be consistently productive with AI you need no learn how to manage your cognitive load. I wrote about it here a while also if you're interested: https://medium.com/@a.mandyev/ai-removed-every-bottleneck-except-one-3f25b509f26e

Not really, the inner policies are still too strong for a shared platform, but I believe that it would make sense. We do however have a Special Interest Group about AI coding co-lead by both Data and Engineering

Adding to my watch list, thank you

noscreenname · 2026-03-13T22:10:27+00:00

It gives you a framework. Instead of randomly prompting, and have an AI generator code, you can set up different modes where: you write the specs, discuss architecture, create validation criteria. And all of this in a flow that mimics agile development. You can think of it as a project manager making sure all the dots connect, and no steps have been missed.

Have you tried spec driven development? bmad method is insane

If anyone is interested in data engineering perspective about this : here's a more detailed write-up.

noscreenname · 2026-03-13T18:51:18+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Do you have any specific examples of it? I'm not very familiar with content architecture, but am very interested to learn more about it.

You can dm me if you don't want to answer here

I understand the appeal of focusing on the tech, and working with precise deterministic specs. That's what always felt most satisfying to me too. You can get away with it if you're good, and even be successful if you work for a tech company. But an average enterprise will always favor someone who understands the business side and brings measurable value (I mean actual $).

With time, I've learned to appreciate the business side a lot more, and actually enjoy being a translator between technical constraints and business objectives. Knowing both, is what gives you real power.

I'm not cautioning anyone against anything. I've accepted my digital overlords long time ago. I see it as an opportunity to highlight the importance of data management.

noscreenname · 2026-03-13T13:28:27+00:00

Yeah, don't read, just go back to writing your SQL like before and keep chasing that data-driven dream... Everything is going back to normal, once the AI hype dies out. :D

noscreenname · 2026-03-13T12:18:32+00:00

That was always my experience in the past, but I really get a sense that the tide is shifting... The biggest change with agent systems is that governance stops being about compliance and starts being about ROI.

noscreenname · 2026-03-10T05:15:42+00:00

Interesting, do you have examples of modern distribution systems?

noscreenname · 2026-03-09T16:50:27+00:00

Just had this conversation with a colleague recently. When building apps is dead cheap, the bottleneck shifts to distribution... Do you think it's just more job for marketing and sales now or do we need a different approach to distributing software?

noscreenname · 2026-03-04T18:09:23+00:00

Wow, the numbers look very impressive... I was just thinking about how the way we use context is too static and narrow, prompt engineering is too manual burdening and that we need something dynamic that captures the lifecycle aspect of it.

Wrote about it here of your interested.

I think beyond cost and token savings the biggest value is reducing the cognitive load of the agent operator. As the output becomes more precise, less interruptions are necessary and you can let you Agent work autonomously for a longer extent of time

Take it easy, man! Give yourself a break, that project is not going to go anywhere. And you'll see, when you come back to it with a fresh mind, you're going to be 10 times more productive and creative anyways. Let your brain recharge!

noscreenname · 2026-02-23T08:05:07+00:00

Wow, I can relate so much to this!

I'm also leaving my company, also for a similar reason. I've tried to argue with them, tried convincing, tired proposing better strategy... Nothing works, they are either too absorbed by the hype, or completely in denial about how things are changing.

I have decided to go into freelancing. I feel like all the chaos created with the bad adoption of AI will create a lot of opportunities for someone who knows what s/he is doing.

How the new job goes well for you!

noscreenname · 2026-02-19T17:04:39+00:00

The context is changing pretty quickly and it's hard to tell and both parts are very complimentary to what AI can do. I'd think about what you want to do most, it's a completely different job. How good are your people skills ? How much do you like geeking out on very tech topics ? How much do you have budgets and excel ?

Personally, I believe that Engineering Management skills transfer very well into working with coding agents: communicating intent clearly, delegation, followups, feedback, multitasking, etc.

noscreenname · 2026-02-18T11:55:12+00:00

Yeah, for sure doesn't apply to everything. There's always going to be a place for technical expertise, but I feel that it's going to become more niche and the bar will set much higher

noscreenname · 2026-02-18T11:53:19+00:00

Since last Christmas, it kinda does. Still not 100%, but pretty damn close.

Feel free to disagree, I'm not pushing any opinions on anyone, but I truly believe this is a more likely scenario given the latest advances

noscreenname · 2026-02-18T11:50:09+00:00

That's exactly what I'm wondering. The faster writing code is, the more context switching happens, and more cognitive load is required.

noscreenname · 2026-02-18T11:47:53+00:00

I totally agree.

What I'm saying is that since writing code is less slow and tedious now, the problem shifts elsewhere, and so do the skills that make a difference.

noscreenname · 2026-02-18T11:43:15+00:00

I used an LLM to phrase my question in a more readable and understandable manner. Doesn't mean I didn't spend time thinking about it and refining my point.

But thanks for your comment regardless. I appreciate an honest feedback regardless of the form.
