It's amazing (in a depressing way) how many unit tests are still just testing that a mock returns the exact thing you set it up to return . Please stop.

If today you find yourself typing 'as a father of daughters' or 'now that I have daughters' stop right there. Instead spend the time actively listening. The stories of inequality and abuse are everywhere.

It is in the interests of big AI CEOs and investors to spout fabulous assertions like this. This serves 3 purposes: hyping the tech they're selling, distracting from immediate questions about accountability by shifting to a philosophical discussion, implying we need to accept it.

Writing more efficient code / designing efficient systems is a great way to improve the sustainability of software, I suspect there's a much bigger gain to be had in not building features that nobody needs / uses or are a vanity project of someone with a fancy job title...

That is if you want high speed, you must build high quality systems. If you want high quality systems, you must build them quickly as a series of small changes. This is what the data says, and when you stop and think about this, the reasons are pretty clear. 11/17

Some guy rambles about how it's still too common that user needs are assumed, invented, imposed etc without genuine user engagement. A handful of senior people in a room making up requirements isn't going to get you where you need to be.
