Thought experiment ๐Ÿง  Given the shift to product engineering, now assume models write all code <5 years. What does the engineer role become? Is there a further evolution focused on defining problems, understanding customers, and agent orchestration โ†’ an #AI Product Architect?

The question โ†’ are current engineers best suited for that role? More importantly, would most enjoy it; shifting away from hands-on technical craft to pure problem definition and agent orchestration?

1,200 miles in and California โœ…; Yosemite lived up to the hypeย ๐Ÿ•๏ธ 3 critical lessons on US driving so far: โ†’ No one knows how to use full beam properly โ†’ The pre-charge dance when filling up makes zero sense โ†’ Fuel prices vary wildly; 30% between states due to local taxes

๐Ÿ”„ Switched from #Airalo to #BetterRoaming. Loved Airalo, but BR's reusable single eSIM beats setting up a new one for every country/trip. Pricing is better, though that wasn't a big factor; simplicity of install wins IMO.

Comparing to the "Todoist โ†’ Quick Add Task" command: - Faster due to brain dumping via natural language - Higher quality tasks as well-structured and consistent - Ability to extend with other AI extensions (e.g. Calendar)

Thoughts on AI Extensions: - This is the future! ๐Ÿ”ฎ - Adding Todoist project UUIDs make the workflow a lot faster, bypassing "Get Projects" calls - Would โค๏ธ an OpenAI style playground - Hard to find decent community examples - ray.so/presets should be community focused

"Saladday Coffee" โ€” Taito City, Tokyo My favourite coffee shop in Tokyo due to its handcrafted wooden interior and that it's run single-handedly (common in Japan). #photography #japan #coffee

The streetcars in Matsuyama are orange because the city sits in one of Japan's major mikan (mandarin orange) producing regions. #photography #japan

It has loops! Excited to try out the v103B #campsnap; on the next version I'd love: - No logo design - More pleasant shutter sound - Better flash
