@emocoder yeah, the second 90% is always the hard part :<

@emocoder Yep, posted about this recently, my company is pushing us to go crazy AI first (whatever that means, it depends on the day and sleep quality of the C - levels). They are the best cases of dunning kruger I have ever met: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

@emocoder And now it's the remaining 900%.

@emocoder And it's much harder to do that second 90% if you don't have all the mental context of how you made the first 90%. It's like playing a game and skipping through the first level straight to the second. Sure you'll start sooner but you won't arrive with all the lessons the first level would have taught you.

@emocoder Right? It's that 80:20 rule turned into its worst self. Now the humans *only* do the hard parts and on a foundation of inscrutable AI slop to boot.

@emocoder I have heard the original 90% + 90% joke 2 previous times and it was always hilarious too. Both guys told it as "old soviet joke: ..." And were in fact born in Russia. Turns out it was Tom Cargill at Bell Labs!

@emocoder You can still tell your manager "I'm 180% on this project !", he won't object.
