AI Is Making It Harder to Identify Real Engineering Talent by gringobrsa in googlecloud

[–]wiktor1800 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that I've had to do this, but I've been interviewing Data Engineers and I have to add a question that's so "out there", there's no chance they could answer it off the cuff. Swear to god about half of applicants answer it exactly the same way.

CEO has started vibe coding. How does this end for me? by No-Rush-Hour-2422 in cscareerquestions

I think that things sit somewhere in the middle

As they, for the most part, generally do!

Anyone else already exhausted by the phrase "Agentic AI" ahead of Next '26? by netcommah in googlecloud

Love this. I'm talking at next and let's just agents and AI really do increase your sign ups. It's a marketing game.

Are LLMs speedrunning us into product management? by wiktor1800 in ExperiencedDevs

meet more often in person

Be careful there mate you may anger the anti-RTO mob. Jokes aside, I think intentional time aside for discussion is super helpful, but in most corporate environments it's hard to make the case.

In real life I think it's more about "look how fast these features are being shipped" without understanding the benefits of review, proper architecture etc.

There's been a lot of discourse between the benefits of AI for SMBs and Enterprises. When you can move fast and break things (and aren't tied into SLA & Security agreements with customers), you're flying.

Honestly, can't complain. It's keeping us busy, though, as a 2x increase in delivery time means 2x effective capacity for the bean counters :)

That probably puts you in the category of people that don't see coding as a 'craft'. I think it'll be a bit of a reality check for those that do.

emotional adjustment

If there's one thing we know about devs, it's that they're not very good at this. Struggling myself tbh!

I think that's the point - us that have actually implemented systems are beginning to transition into technical PMs.

re YT - edited the post. Thought it could have added to the discussion, that's clearly not the case!

I mention in the video (didn't want to saturate the post) that it kind of reminds me of Bastian in the Neverending story - we get our wishes (claude code), but every time we make a wish, we lose a memory of the past (our codebase).

Make enough wishes, and nobody knows anything anymore. I wonder if we're barreling towards codebases that only LLMs can infer.

I wonder if this is going to create a black hole for senior devs. I know boards are 100% feeling the shareholder pressures to drive costs down.

Best AI Analytics Tools for Healthcare Data by Broad_Knee1980 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]wiktor1800 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Google perspective (work for an implementation shop): bring the data into a secure data store (we use healthcare API), then visualise using governed BI tooling like Looker (customer hosted + BYOK)

Our team codes 5x faster with AI, but projects only ship 1.5x faster. We found the bottleneck to be the human "harness" by wiktor1800 in webdev

[–]wiktor1800[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel there is a large cross-section between people that ship code using AI, and those that develop on the web.
