"When I gave a talk in 2016, I asked my audience how many years they thought it would be before half of US households had adopted some of the year’s most hyped gadgets. A smart watch? A drone? A 3D printer? Virtual reality goggles? A self-driving car? Would these gadgets ever see 50% adoption? Turns out 'nope.' Or at least, one decade later, none of these – not even the smart watch – has reached that level." -Audrey Watters https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/not-so-fast/
@getambassador Additionally, it is just a much. more costlier approach than traditional artifacts and templates -- without that much gain.
@getambassador The austerity you are pointing to exists because of how previous tools are applied--AI is just accelerating that. The previous rounds of tools were applied in just the same way -- with external vendors believing it was solution, which was improperly applied by leadership.
@getambassador Well said, from the outside-in perspective. But that won't be how it gets used inside the enterprise. While your intent and belief is not to replace expertise it is very much seen as THAT within the enterprise. "adapt to new context, enforce standards, and avoid replicating previous errors" happens with the previous / current approach, but experts can also collaborate around context, negotiate standards, and understand previous errors.
@getambassador Sorry, not sold. What is the distinguishing characteristic that makes AI-driven boilerplate code automation over the existing boiler plate artifact and other template code generation? I'll give you a hint -- expertise.
@carpetbomberz I saw the writing on the wall, but didn't want to believe what I was reading.
@carpetbomberz Ahhhh the good ol' bad days.
@carpetbomberz Ha! Haven't hear that song in a while. Thanks Eric!
@shermandorn Thank you Sherman. She is doing much better. Healing and getting back to herself.

After experiencing the line of questioning about drug use in the clearance screening for working at the White House personally and the historical zero tolerance policy towards even minimal drug usage, I am guessing there were some pretty messed up situations in the 1950s and 1960s that resulted in that screening process. I don’t think what we are seeing right now is new, it is just really out in the open, where earlier ones were probably covered up like what the CIA was doing.
@cogdog Thank you! <3
