I think some folks are very quick to drop rigor and care as "traditional practices" as if we're talking about churning butter by hand. One thing that might be valuable to keep in mind is that LLM tooling might feel like an expert, but generally has the decisionmaking skills of a junior. In that light, the rigor and best practices that were already (hopefully) part of software engineering practice are even more important.

> In traditional development, you review versions carefully. With AI-generated scaffolding, that step is easy to overlook.

If in "traditional development", everything is reviewed carefully, why wouldn't it be when some of the toil is automated? If anything, that's exactly what the time that's freed up by not having to scaffold things by hand should be invested in: sifting through what's been added and the choices made by the LLM to make sure they are sound and follow best practices.

> Under the new policy, Amazon engineers must get two people to review their work before making any coding changes.

I wonder if this is adding human review where there was none, or if this is adding more of it.

Did you identify the kind of performance problems you were solving for? Curious to hear whether the source of the lag is known.

The local / "runs entirely on my machine" claim should probably come with an asterisk: the TUI part is local, but this still relies on an LLM API existing somewhere outside the machine (unless you're running an Ollama instance on the same host).

Nonetheless, this is neat!

"Whenever I'm in town, I carve out two hours to have a family dinner" doesn't exactly scream healthy balance. I suspect that it's mostly off-work time that "will always have to give".

This very much reminds me of the saying that roughly goes "in the end, the only people who remember you working late are your kids/partner".

Have there really been that many worthwhile releases for Teams? Security updates aside, videoconferencing is definitely a thing that can just be "done" depending on what their needs are.

You don't necessarily need to "keep up", you just need to solve your business problem.
