ADVICE

Mandate Tool Usage, Not Editor Choice

  • Require engineers to use AI tools and practice them to stay competitive.
  • Push teams to learn new tools but focus on practical, not just fashionable, usage.
INSIGHT

Both Engineering And Product Taste Matter

  • Both deep technical skill and strong product taste remain valuable in an AI-assisted world.
  • Which skill matters more depends on the product: net-new systems need engineering taste; prototypes reward product iteration.
ADVICE

Run Evals At Multiple Temperatures

  • Run evaluations at multiple temperatures to get more robust results.
  • Compare outputs across settings instead of trusting a single-config eval.
