It’s easy to lose track of time with these tools, he told Business Insider. Soon enough, the girls’ practice has ended, and the parents flood into the changing room. He joins them — with his laptop ajar, so that the AI agent can keep running.
“I have to put it up on a shelf,” he said. “I’m untying my girls’ skates while looking back like: Is it done?”
I just feel bad for these poor kids. You can’t leave your goddamn Claude at home while you take your kids to the rink?
Ohoho, I know exactly how to burn a silly amount of tokens if I want to, which is why that metric is absolutely garbage - arguably worse than ranking developer performance by SLOC committed.
Have it write all of your logging code for you, it may be inaccurate but it is the least damaging place to take the hit as you can just manually search in the source code for where the print was from. They always do something stupid and non uniform making most statements traceable indirectly.
or you can literally just do what is it? something+tab? and it just goes to town without the need for you to confirm anything.
I mean it’s gonna turn out slop that won’t scale and be full of exploits anyways regardless if you auto confirm or not. then just rig it up to ping your phone when it’s done…oh who am I kidding these dudes wouldn’t know how to do that.

Fucking. Exactly. I just made a long comment about how this article feels like they’re talking to non-tech-savvy people who are pretending to be tech-savvy because they talk to a fucking AI.
Like this dumbfuck kid who “has to keep shipping software” as if that means he’s not shipping it riddled with bugs and security issues since his AI makes the spaghetti code and he just says “I’m sure this is ready for production.”
I couldn’t even find any evidence in the article or photos that anyone interviewed was running a local LLM, which would at least justify worrying about temps if your keyboard acts as your air intake (which apparently is relatively common now).
Just a bunch of narcissists wanting an excuse to have people ask them about what they’re doing, ogle what they’re doing, and so they can pretend they’re…
I mean this is why I don’t mind using AI, it gives me the time to focus on the people around me.
Also I see it as a sign of a lack of support and isolation in the workplace. Like “I need help, I don’t have anyone to turn to cause everyone is fired so this is my only support” and the anxiety that brings.
I’ve been suffering from too short an attention span. I keep ending up. scrolling on my phone while waiting for ai to spew its slop, and have been caught too many times
Yeah I just swap to the next project. And if all of those are hydrated I go to my hobby projects, and yeah those I don’t use agents for so I just stay there for a while after that lmao

When your boss ranks you based on the number of tokens you burn, there’s no choice.

If your metric is usage, it is incredibly easy to game, just send agents on wild goose chases all day long and never accept the results.
Part of the scoring at my company is how many generated lines of code you accept.
Going back to the beginning of the year, I think I’m up to 6

Still too much effort.
Automate a script to send AI agents on goose chases for you.
It’s not about effort as much as it is about keeping your job, while not injecting chaos into a code base.
He’s a product head at an AI company, as per the article. He is a boss.
While I agree, Every boss, has a boss. Even the CEO’s have bosses.
Until you get to Mambino, the boss of bosses!

I used to use a push notification app and a small python script for that.
I would “&& notify_me ‘message’ “ and get a notification on my watch when whatever script I was running completed
I judge this wave of people in tech pretty harshly.
Just a bunch of boring script kiddies
Even easier. For a lot of carriers you can send an email to the phone number and it’ll come up as a text.

Even worse than script kiddies, they may not even know how to use or build a script
Or use their operating system. Who doesn’t know you can have it stay on when you shut the lid if you want?
