Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 12, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I think iprayim3 is not talking about programming code, but other things we call deliverables at my workplace. Like, a powerpoint deck for a technical meeting or a spec document. If there is important errors, it's usually huge waste of time as the work can't start or perhaps someone already started making their thing but it is now going in the wrong direction. Or even worse, someone made decisions that can't be walked back or talked to a client using the bad information. Any substantial correction may trigger a long thread of further discussion, or a series of new meetings solely devoted to correcting the mistake.

It will require total reinvention of corporate social contract, in my experience you can't treat meetings with other businesspeople like a test suite you can throw things at. If anything, time does not become cheaper with AI.
