    Imagine if real engineering worked like tech?

    Bridges that need to keep constantly adding features to improve KPIs and get someone promoted.

    We rebuilt this dam real quick with entirely new materials because they're the current hot shit, but it's okay we also rewrote the safety guidelines and the tests still pass.

    We left the fire escapes out of the apartment building this time because it was convenient for the engineers. All of them have moved on to other jobs already so no-one knows why.

    @abban see also why I have very little sympathy towards the dev profession regarding LLMs. We left a trail of damage behind us and now it’s coming due.
