Sometimes you have to fly at ground level, literally with your head in the engine, and other times you can climb to 10,000 meters, let the crew do their job, and enjoy the view.

Let's use AI for what is NOT our job Let's enjoy ours, for everything else, AI

What would the job you would like to fully delegate in AI?

In my case: create tickets in Jira

AGENTS.md AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

I'm looking for people with experience (some) using the AGENTS.md files.

I started with this approach sometime ago and I would like to hear the stories from people here.

What do you think about the agents.md files? How is/was your experience using them?

One of the most interesting things I read from your articles is the fact that those companies use their own products... So they test in production.

I would ask them though what is their Cycle Time and MTT

Leadership Is Altitude Management The higher you go, the more perspective you gainโ€ฆ but the less control you have.

โ˜๐Ÿผ As a Tech Lead, choosing the right altitude isnโ€™t a preference; itโ€™s a decision that protects the team, the product, and your time.

This is getting traction, and I can understand why.

I feel you.

I've been there, when you don't know when to intervene or fully delegate.

Because of that, I know this framework will help you.

Onirix Closure Announcement - Onirix After more than 10 years since we founded the parent company of Onirix, and nearly 7 years since the launch of our first MVP, we are now, with great regret,

Sad to witness the disappearance of a 10 years startup because of the changes in the technological market.

Few years ago it was VR and Metavers all over the place...

But now is the IA...

I experienced a problem in a microservice.

๐Ÿ”ด 3 days working in the office: problem not found

๐ŸŸข 1 hour working at home: problem found

For those forcing software developers to come back to the office, get your conclusions.
