Got to talk at @aidotengineer.bsky.social conf last week about the need for collaborative AI engineering. All our current coding agents are single player. We're trying to scale up individual productivity, but creating tons of alignment problems in the process. We have no good tools for...
Same task, same prompt... why does opus-4-6 take 3,4,5,6x longer to do things??

right now everything in the world is telling you to go faster, ship more, add that feature, start another project so i'm actively working on feeling ok not doing any of that
tfw you just barely catch in the scroll claude getting irritated it can't solve a problem with some test seeds, so it just decides to encode into the test to skip them...
