KerfuffleI have now encountered several cases of unintelligible documentation - functional requirements, security measures, technical how-tos - where I had to ask the author for clarification, and getting as a reply "oh I don't know; I just asked <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a>".Now I can bash <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ai</a> tools, but people who produce documentation that they themselves don't understand have always been a blight on <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IT</a>.

🥳 _-/\-_ 🤯Joined a new customer project today. The project started recently. Customer provides project director and business analysts. We provide architects/devs. Watched a recap of a recent kickoff meeting to get familiar with the business domain and the project setup. In this meeting I noticed that they presented a rough and very (very very) optimistic timeline. Me: Were any technical people involved back then when you were setting the timeline? Project Director: No. The dates are fixed. Why?

Duane Johnson :verified:In 1972, the HP-35 ("The Calculator") entered the market. Universities wanted to ban it because it made engineering problems too easy. Informal competitions between The Calculator and slide rules were held. Some engineers were so adept at slide rules that they outperformed The Calculator.I think about this when I consider where we are with LLMs and coding.<a href="https://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-bin/memories.cgi?read=107" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-bin/memories.cgi?read=107</a><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareEngineering</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/VibeCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VibeCoding</a>
