Also a measly level 2er. I'm curious what kind of project truly needs an autonomous agent team Ralph looping out 10,000 LOCs per hour? Seems like harness-maxxing is a competitive pursuit in its own right existing outside the task of delivering software to customers.

Feels like K8s cult, overly focused on the cleverness of _how_ something is built versus _what_ is being built.

SaaS let's you simply pay to make blockers go away. Now that our time is more high leverage, why wouldn't you continue to do that?

Let's say you could vibe your own replacement to a $20/month app in 16 hours. Congratulations, you did work valued at an $15/hour less token expenses (over 1 year).

Seeing the same. Nobody can log into my app / various errors in GCP/Firebase admin.

Right, and granted I don't have a "standard track" school experience to compare it with.

I'm considering both Montessori and non-Montessori for my own child right now too. FWIW the standard school looks fun too, albeit with more structure. I'm touring my old Montessori school in January. Curious to see how it's evolved in the last 20+ years.

It's likely that school just becomes more unenjoyable as "academic performance" takes the place of "child development".

I attended a Montessori from Kindergarten to 5th grade in the 90's.

I loved it. The teachers let me teach an art and drawing class in 2nd grade. Another student taught an algebra class (he's a brilliant cancer researcher now). I co-wrote, illustrated, and sold a comic book with another classmate in 4th grade during class time.

It allowed me to complete the curriculum on my own time and held me accountable.

Montessori was something I made my own, not something that was happening to me.

The transition out wasn't that bad. I did 5th grade again (June baby) at a standard private school. The biggest things: - I had never written a formal essay, or an essay outline. - I had never taken nor prepared for a real test

Like others here, I never really enjoyed school as much after Montessori.

For the right kid, it can cultivate curiosity, independence, collaboration, and a love for self managed learning. For the wrong kid, it can be an unstructured nightmare.
