    Ah, the "skill issue" argument again. Same crap aswhen everyonewas worshiping Musk 5-6 years ago, this time it's dario and altman with a claude/chatgpt mask. Crash can't come soon enough.

      I think the point is just it doesn’t have to get worse, so there are things you can do to prevent / change it if it is deteriorating.

        Yes, but it doesn't matter if nobody actually does that. Either because

        1. they don't care

        2. the rest of the team doesn't care

        3. the powers that be actively discourage it because velocity.

          Exactly. Most restaurants you go to don't care about the food they serve you nor do they care about the products they use, as long as it doesn't harm their business. Same with groceries - manufacturers don't care, as long as what they sell you is acceptable and passes regulations. But once you go to a restaurant with standards, you can immediately tell the difference. I do not come from a wealthy family and even as such, I certainly prefer paying the higher price now that I can afford it.
