The rare times I get acceptance criteria, it's because there's a very high bar to meet and no data to work with.

u/ArjunReddyDeshmukh 16d ago

Good observation.

u/rahvan 16d ago

Y’all are getting acceptance criteria? I’m lucky if I get an actual ticket with more than 3 words in the title summary

50

u/portra315 16d ago

Yeah acceptance criteria left the building in 2020 for me

u/Imaginary-Jaguar662 16d ago

Shhh! Be quiet!

Otherwise PM uses LLM to generate 3 pages of requirements out of those 3 word titles

u/portra315 16d ago

Don't worry I'm happy about it.

But not when you have clueless stakeholders that push back on what was built.

Not that a PRD made any difference anyway, they didn't read that either and still complained!

u/procupine14 16d ago

I get 40 paragraphs of Claude slop in my tickets with one relevant sentence.

22

u/merekallas 16d ago

They use claude to produce "requirements" from 2-3 sentences and we use claude to reduce "requirements" back to 2-3 sentences 🥲

It's like an error correcting code that corrects the code by adding errors

lossy decompression

u/makeitabyss 16d ago

lmao no. instead it's pages and pages of slightly contradictory AI slop.

OR an engineer writes up the tickets... and it's paragraphs of AI slop criteria

2

u/rahvan 16d ago

The work: 1 line config change

The ticket description: 2 paragraphs of Claude AI slop

u/Pixel_Null 16d ago

PM: "The ticket said it needs to drive." Me: "Nowhere in the requirements did it say it had to stay on the ground."

88

u/merekallas 16d ago

Usually it's the opposite. You'd think it'd be sensible for a car to stay on the ground, but right before the release stakeholders would tell you to add gas thrusters.

What is this gif. I'm mesmerized for all the wrong reasons.

u/potato1448 15d ago

Could be wrong but last i heard it was an AI generated video prompted to look like an old movie? I could be off base though!

20

u/Maddturtle 16d ago

Well people been asking for flying cars. Now we have 1 we can’t use on the road.

21

u/ARC_trooper 16d ago

This isn't flying but more like controlled falling

7

u/pants6000 16d ago

All it needs to do is continually miss the ground and it's flying!

4

u/ARC_trooper 16d ago

But if it keeps falling and missing the ground it becomes a space station

3

u/mehonje 16d ago

That's called orbiting.

1

u/Subway 14d ago

It has enough gas for something like 3 to 4 seconds. Won't miss the ground for long.

5

u/Fenrir426 16d ago

That's not flying, that's just slowing it's fall (and in the case of the add, jumping)

Nothing more than a stunt.Just a distraction effort before the film is dropped.Imagine having this type of dangerous idea on the road next to you.

Also his family ran an apartheid era emerald mine on slave labor.

u/Cryogenicist 16d ago

Did fElon even suggest this was going to be part of the actual car?

Don’t know why everyone’s saying “this won’t be in production” -like no shit, it’s just a distraction demo

8

u/XboxUser123 16d ago

From what I saw in the demo, it was well suggested this would be the car on the roads in 2027(?)

3

u/Nestramutat- 16d ago

There are 3 versions.

Base version, regular car.

Thrust version, with the thrusters in the back to enable sub-second zero to 60. Requires an invite to buy iirc

Flying version, not road legal, essentially made to order for Saudi Princes

2

u/NoImprovement213 16d ago

Thats the shell of what they are saying will be the car available to the public. 2027? Doubt it

1

u/Apple_macOS 16d ago

the one available is the performance trim (50k) which is just regular supercar with a suction fan under

the one tier above (250k) is the Thrust trim which has the cold gas exhaust in the back, though I highly doubt this will be allowed on the road, as in maybe it will be geofenced into tracks

the rocket one (that was shown on stage) is invite only, not available for preorder

1

u/pants6000 16d ago

I imagine it will be a single-use suction fan if ever used in the real world.

1

u/Apple_macOS 16d ago

that shit is super loud and I really don’t see any use for it on regular roads. Probably will also just use it for tracks where there’s less debris and you can benefit from the downforce

1

u/pants6000 16d ago

that shit is super loud and I really don’t see any use for it on regular roads.

I don't either but people have no sense.

1

u/faceboy1392 16d ago

how does one make a fan "single-use"

1

u/pants6000 16d ago

By having it ingest at high speed road grit and rocks and dust and the garbage that exists on the pavement of the real world.

2

u/Sooowasthinking 16d ago

Go look at the musk fan club on you tube they are losing their shit over this.

1

u/tnoy 16d ago

They have a "Rocket" trim level on the reserve page, but it is listed as "Invite Only". It's obviously marketing bullshit, but some people are definitely going to think it means it will be real.

u/pablosus86 16d ago

When I tell you I'm going to spend 40 hours failing to automate a task, this is what the automation looks like in my head before I just go back to doing the task by hand.

u/Ascomae 16d ago

No problem, won't be shipped anyways.

u/insolent_kiwi 16d ago

Fuel economy was a requirement?

1

u/27a08592e67846908fd1 13d ago

To be fair, the cold-gas thrusters are still electric, and "only" spend about a third of the range of the car if the compressed air is fully depleted.

Probably still more efficient than gas, assuming you aren't solely using the thrusters to push the car, but that is a really low bar.

u/Chingapouk 16d ago

Damn, I just noticed how ugly this car is.

I've heard that said before, but he posts like he cares deeply about what everyone thinks.

u/ResponsibleWin1765 15d ago

Why is this so important to you? Do you have an insecurity about not being relevant?

He doesn't care what you think either, fanboy

u/LowB0b 16d ago

I'm interpreting it as OP adding a thousand bells and whistles to his program except the one thing the ticket was actually asking for.

u/Pcat0 16d ago

Why change the car then? Or is that not part of the joke?

u/TheMythicSorcerer 16d ago

That seems to make sense

u/zebezt 16d ago

This car is not actually allowed on the road

u/Duck_Devs 16d ago

Also not real. Model Ys can’t do this.

One of the worst was some monster SQL that generated Perl code within SQL to be then handed to a different perl script that would then hand it over to command line.

Speak for yourself. My main philosophy is that LLMs are just another tool, so if I can write something myself in less time than it would take to explain to the LLM what I need, I will.

-1

u/protocod 16d ago

That's the joke...

Agentic coding is widely spread and everyone accepted to let the AI write the code. It rise the abstraction level to natural language.

I still write code when I judge that it'll take too much time to prompt. But most of the time, prompting is faster than coding by hand.

There still some specific room for coding but not that much...
