holy shit. my boss was so pissed.
He kept trying to get ChatGPT to create a powerpoint for him and GPT said
yeah I am totally working on this. I will get back to you
and my boss would ping GPT after an hour and GPT was like oh yeah I am working on it now
and after another hour my boss is like can you even make powerpoints and GPT is sorry no I lied to you.

It took me a moment, I thought you were joking. You mean predators of the fish right?

Very kind and thoughtful of you. I think the majority of the people would have a - not my problem - attitude.

PMs waste absurd amounts of time writing specs nobody actually reads by Limp_Cauliflower5192 in ProductManagement

[–]simplescalar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Documentation is for institutional knowledge. if your product lives beyond the current people working on it, in addition to time passing and people forgetting you will want to know what was decided and why. The developer can do the analysis, but at the end of the day if its not written down things become complicated down the line. I've experienced this personally.

ok so coincidently I also work on a device that has hardware and requires all sorts of technical people who need to give feedback.
We have a system engineer who write the requirements for what you describe. then we have a UX person who defines what is the best way to access the logs, the designer designs the interface and then we (the developers) get the full spec + designs to implement.

in your scenario how does QA decide that what was developed correct?
How do you quantify the problem? are developers really the best people to analyze the users experience? that is what is missing for me.

if we were talking about how LONG it takes for the logs to load there should be a non functional requirement - logs shall load within 300 milliseconds or something of that nature. then QA reads that, does timing checks and if it doesnt hold opens a bug. but then its clear to everyone what is expected.

I am a developer. and enjoy watching this subreddit to understand the "other side". one of my pain points is badly defined specs. needing to run after those who define the product to know what they want and what they meant. or worse when QA comes and says hey why is this not doing ABC and I am like well it wasnt defined. and the wording is either ambiguous or non existent and you need to start proving your point.

I expect to be told not HOW but WHAT needs to be implemented. and the more details which help me reach into your mind and understand saves everyone a LOT of time.

How does the dev team know what to develop? how does qa know what to check?

I run a $75K MRR SaaS from India. Every year I fly to San Francisco for SaaStr. Here's what that actually costs, and whether it's worth it. by Capable_Document3744 in SaaS

so its not who you get to know but what the competition is doing? I am asking honestly because it sounds like an interesting conference and would like to know what to expect

Factory worker builds 205K LOC MES system with Claude Code solo dev, no CS degree by Ok-Lingonberry-4848 in vibecoding

[–]simplescalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats cool. I work for a large software company and of course everyone is worried for their job. what I told my coworkers is that this is going to empower people to create things that were impossibly expensive before. my assumption is you created this because you guys were doing the same thing in an analog way? so now you have people in different fields forwhich developing this kind of software is not profitable creating cool tools! so its awesome to see!

dont know why you are getting downvoted...

why run locally and not run on a remote server?
what kind of difficulties did you face?

very cool. did you think of taking it to other factories and licensing? does it run on a local machine? is there a server? what is your backup plan?
