Gotcha, so no.

You don't need a "blog post." You need experience managing projects, tracking progress, coordinating conversations, mentoring less experienced engineers, etc. That experience comes with practice and time.

If you really need something to latch onto, there's plenty of educational material available about how to be an effective scrum master. Start there.

Indeed. I'm saying the human inside the engineering loop is essential. If a person needs training, particularly if the set of high level advice I set out in a reply is rejected, a blog post isn't going to cut it anyway.

Some AI skeptics paradoxically insist humans are irreplaceable and then get almost mad(?) when you discuss how humans are necessary in the loop. At least that's my interpretation of what is going on, it's hard to tell.

When building with LLMs I'm mostly product manager and QA, the whole task is having the judgement to evaluate and correct course. You can share advice but it's not a copy-paste situation where one set of prompts/harnesses/whatever solve all your problems forever. They have to be adjusted for a particular situation.

My problem with the “high level advice” is that the results it gives are bad. Sure, sometimes it gets it right, and it helps but I’d wager about half the time the results are just bad. Hence why I’m asking people to show their homework here. I think that the anthropic rust rewrite is great example - it shows yes you can do a lift and shift assuming you’re ok with those constraints. > Some AI skeptics paradoxically insist humans are irreplaceable. But yet in this comment thread we have people saying “just point it at your code and let it go” like [0], you saying “just follow the vague instructions and if you can’t get the results that I’m telling you you’ll get them it’s your problem. But it’s too circumstantial for me to be able to tell you how to work” > where one set of prompts/harnesses/whatever solve all your problems forever I don’t want forever, I just want to know what is actually working today, or this week, or this month.
