I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.

A rare personal note. My dear friend Ivo (the dad) has a rare genetic liver disease (PSC) and has, after concerted persuasion from those of us who love him dearly, finally consented to a public appeal for a living donor.
Liver donation is quite miraculous in that one can give half and both halves grow back.
Fwiw, none of the AI models yet understand how to cure PSC, though I would bet that the next generation of humans will be more lucky.
I've never asked for RTs etc before but I think it would help in this case!

💡Today's Tip💡
“Don’t overcomplicate code.
As a consequence of the above guideline: Don’t abstract anything more than it needs to. The longer version: Nobody will ever change the tires and engine of a boat while it’s running.
E.g. Your app will unlikely need to change from MySQL to Postgres without deeper code changes. This assumes you wrote it to take full advantage of MySQL.”
🧑💻From our fellow dev @dlsniper

I’ve been searching for words since Saturday.
Hundreds were killed in a rave
Babies, kids, elders and families were taken hostage
All this, and hundreds dead, is celebrated in the streets around the world
Last time so many Jewish people died in one day was in the holocaust.
