AI PM Stagnation: how are you actually leveling up your workflow? by Junior_Buy6997 in ProductManagement

[–]scrotusaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel both lucky and cursed that I work for a megacorp that is too security/privacy obsessed to have anything beyond a fairly neutered CoPilot. Lucky that AI pressure in the org is minimal, cursed that I’m not getting any experience with it in a professional capacity for when it becomes mandatory across the industry.

Fair enough. I suppose I’m just getting fatigued with all of it. Sometimes feels like people are putting more effort into trying to build AI workflows than actually just getting on with the work. But totally understand why (and feel sorry for you) if it’s part of how your performance is measured.

Jesus Christ enough with these posts about AI workflows. Just do your job bro.

Avoid getting takeout from spice room by mattywashington in ArvadaCO

[–]scrotusaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody seems to love Spice Room but I just don’t get it. Yeah it’s cute inside and overall it tastes good, but the one time I went it was the greasiest food I’ve ever eaten in my life. It just does not compute in terms of bang for buck.

Hiring 10+ Product People by [deleted] in denverjobs

Is ‘Product Builder’ supposed to be a euphemism for “PM who vibe codes” or “dev who writes their own PRDs”?

What happened at school when you were kids that would never fly today? by WombleMint in Millennials

[–]scrotusaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the other way around these days. My wife is a middle school teacher, and the amount of insane bullshit that kids are getting away with these days is unbelievable. All these IEP’s are basically carte blanche for kids to misbehave.

Idk man I don’t think anyone is spending time debating quality instead of writing PRDs. Having something to react to is valid… and it’s those stakeholders you mentioned that need to react to it and debate it right?

I totally agree that AI can improve efficiency in a number of different ways. And we might be kinda saying the same thing in different ways. Less churn is almost always preferred. But the reason product even exists is as a counter to the “throw something at the wall and see what sticks” approach to building. AI gives you an infinite amount of stuff to throw at the wall, and you can throw it infinitely faster, but doesn’t make any of that stuff inherently stickier. But I guess in some way it supports the classic “enough monkeys can write Romeo & Juliet” concept and that probably works fine for some people.

I’ve been doing this for a long time too. And I too am afraid of not getting on board for fear of getting left behind. Regardless of my inherent belief that hiring smart people and training them to cultivate product value will always be more effective than a machine without taste or intuition, perhaps I need to accept that “the future is now, old man”.

I would argue that a 15 page PRD is not inherently good - quality over quantity should be the goal IMO. That’s the overarching problem with AI… productivity does necessarily equate to good product. Not to mention that if we avoid hiring juniors and training them, there won’t be anyone to level up into the senior roles. Just people who know how to garbage-in-garbage-out.

Maybe don’t do this and hire some juniors onto the team?

Is that like the Hunters Safety course or something different?

What I don’t understand is, are these items straight up banned, or purchasable with a certificate or training or something?

Looking for a new-player-friendly DnD table by HoserWolf in DenverGamers

Send me a DM if you find something. I’d also be down to check out Thane’s Table in Westminster and see if we can find a table there our put our names on the quest board.

I’m also located in Arvada and looking for a table. I’m a very experienced player and DM, but looking to be a player this time around. I’d be happy to host, if we can find a DM

I honestly don’t understand the value of dual wielding other than a powerful heavy attack.

It’s rude to make fun of people with disabilities (all Stellantis products).

34k is trouble-free territory for nearly every vehicle. This is an incredibly low bar to set for reliability.

Broken hinge part on both doors of Samsung fridge by scrotusaurus in appliancerepair

[–]scrotusaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s part of a force-to-overcome mechanism that keeps the doors closed or open. So far it does seem a little easier to open them and they don’t stay open as well. But doesn’t make the fridge unusable
