The Spark api and developer UX looks super clean. Excited to try this out:
One thing I noticed after I completed my coaching training in 2022 is that I went through an identity crisis. I had trouble asking for money to coach people because my identity and worth was tied to writing code. Once I let go of the limiting belief that I could only create value for others by writing code, the resistance to ask for money faded as well. I also learned from experienced coaches that the value for clients is actually higher when you charge more money. Clients show up on time, more prepared, and committed to making a change when they paid a meaningful amount before a session. They simply got more out of it. They weren’t paying for my time; but for their own growth. It was just my ego standing in my way. I believe engineers are going through a similar identity crisis with AI. I feel the same resistance towards adopting AI tools as I did when learning to become a coach. But what if the value we create as engineers isn’t in the ascii characters we type on a screen, but in our creativity and our desire to solve customer problems.
β€œIf you’re looking for a call to action, then I give the same advice to both humans and companies: Switch to chat. Ditch completions. Stop writing code by hand. Learn how validation and verification work in the new world. Familiarize yourself with the space, and follow the state of the art. Stop whinging and turn this into an engineering exercise. Stay on top of it. You can do it.” View quoted note β†’
