The mechanisms for providing discoverability and enforcement are at least, if not more, important than the source of the input.
“In a vibe-coding kitchen, your prompts, global rules and AGENTS.md files, and/or shared memory can all play this role. Now everyone can tap into the wisdom of veteran vibe coders who’ve found great tips and approaches. Instead of stumbling through trial‑and‑error, you stand on their shoulders from day one.”

“The real extinction-level event isn’t AI technology. It’s the slow, invisible obsolescence of our organizational structures. While everyone debates whether AI will replace humans, the real crisis is that our 20th-century operating systems are about to become fossils.”

“What’s brittle isn’t the code, it’s the people and the structures around it. If your team can’t change direction without six meetings, your bottleneck isn’t technical. It’s cultural.”

“The surprising insight from working with agent swarms is that the problem isn’t writing code. They do that extremely well.
The bottleneck is managing them.”

Deep link to the deck, including this slide:
“You aren’t watching everything they do
You have to think and structure work like a director level manager
The agents build things you didn’t ask for (or didn’t know to ask for)
You have to make sure they remembered to run tests etc.”

Pourpoise is a really interesting idea @adrianco
Converging on effective meta-engineering practices (related: https://blog.acolyer.org/2018/01/17/some-thoughts-on-security-after-ten-years-of-qmail-1-0/ ) and instituting feedback loops are activities that high-performing teams already seek out. Promoting them into a “ContextPlatform” for agents to act on will be a game-changer.

”If you accept the argument that the specifically desired leadership skills of today are the result of fads that frequently shift, then it leads to an important followup question: what are the right skills to develop in to be effective today and to be impactful across fads?”

Thinking about how AI will affect language usage. My guess it that interfaces and composition will become less common.
Preemptive separation of concerns and narrow API contracts are early design decisions that preserve optionality. They’re forward looking decisions informed by previous big-ball-of-mud exposure. They’re also probably underrepresented in the global training set, even if they are disproportionately represented in the language’s runtime.
Thinking of go, what’s the advantage of using io.Writer vs a concrete type?
