    Do:

    - LOC matter?

    - Do PRs?

    - Do Tokens?

    I’ve never looked up a KPI to figure out who the best engineer is. It’s always obvious to everyone who the best engineer is

    Natural leaders inspire. They don’t need KPIs

    Lost me at “low AI exhaust from those setting technical direction should raise questions”

    Wonder what Linus Torvalds’ AI exhaust is??

      I’d agree Linus is an exceptional leader. And I don’t think most rules apply to him.

      Linus used it to make some toy software I believe.

    > Here are some conclusions I’ve reached through experimentation:

    ...a bunch of stuff specific to certain models the author is currently using.

    Experimentation is good for technical leaders, but you want to be focusing on approaches and understanding the fundamental constraints, not detail.

    Many of the things that have completely changed in then last year will completely change in the next year.

      Author here. Thanks for the comment.

      I did refer to some specific models, though a lot of these learnings are from experience over the past 6 months or so, and continue to generalize as frontier models improve.

      Curious if there’s a specific point you feel is too detailed?
