@atoponce also, bridge designing! It will go much faster with AI. And it doesn’t have to be perfect, all things fall down some day.

@atoponce I have an explanation. They *need* the private data breach notifications to fire their wood stove.

@atoponce

"shipping velocity matters more than perfection"

Nobody in the universe ever needed a wedgie more than this twit.

@atoponce At my last job, the ChatGPT instance we were told to use generated C code that, under any other circumstance would have screamed "childish attempt at sabotage."

@atoponce I've met lots of people like this asshole - it's the kind of person who gets equal parts pissy & evasive when you ask them to point to a single example of all that successful moving-fast-and-breaking-things they keep talking about. #AI is the perfect storm for them.

Build your home from Rice Crispies.

@atoponce I love how people just forget that keeping a service running is as/more important that writing new feature.

Anyone who comes upw with the opinion apparent has never worked in a operations role.

@atoponce

First of all, it's a _quarter century_ since we left the 90s and the Internet boom, and these money-grubbers are still stuck on chasing the high of that era's first-to-market success stories. Stop it. It doesn't work like that any more.

Secondly, while there's truth in the adage that "perfect is the enemy of good enough", do you know what's also an enemy of good enough? Sloppy work and bullshit.

@atoponce I am again reminded that the best thing we can do is figure out what devices, services, and apps these "fuck quality, full speed ahead!" choads are using and surface every single bit of their data publicly.

@atoponce call it CVE if you want, but if you're still demanding perfection on every pr while your competitors are shipping "CVE" that works... you're fighting from a disadvantaged position

@atoponce Seriously. Who in their right mind is looking at the state of software in the world today and saying "they wasted a bunch of time on quality".

It's darkly comedic that the final form of California VC/Nerd Works Progress Administration is based on ensuring _no_ social utility is derived from their investments.

@atoponce It's "release early, release often" all over again.

And that's how I got really fed up with KDE like a decade ago :|
