You can bandage them up and keep going; yes, they will irritate and eventually pop. You can wait for them to go away, however long that takes. One is pragmatic and pushes you back at the worry of further injury, one pushes the envelope, lets the skin heal over and harden. Whatever approach you take is up to you, but clearly, you need new shoes to prevent it from happening again.

If you want to be good at soccer in the long run, you need strong footwork. Over time, we all get slower; we can try to slow it down or improve our stamina, but we all get slower. It’s just life. But footwork, footwork isn’t built on speed, it’s built on control, repetition, and most importantly, being able to handle the ball without looking at it.

I ran into this scenario with Claude a few weeks ago. I was trying to figure out what an API can and cannot do. In an effort to make me happy, it made up a method for an API that did not exist.

Yeah, that’s good design, so make sure you give it the focus

Counting Lines of Code became… Counting Number of Unit Tests Generated became… Generating the number of class files became… Ensuring we had everything commented, which became… An unlimited number of TODOs in our code. And now we are counting Tokens of usage and surprise, surprise – we are gamifying and overusing them so that our metrics look inflated. I AM SHOCKED!!!! Yes, your team should be using AI. But if you’re measuring your team by their token consumption, it’s a lazy, easy metric. Instead, why not look at; As with development metrics of the past, the first metric identified is
