As someone who has trouble keeping track of things, I’ve tried many different apps, handwritten agendas, and knowledge management strategies. I am eager at first but my enthusiasm fizzles out quickly. I’ve now decided to stop trying to manage my time and just fumble through life as best as I can. I’m comfortable with this decision. #pkm #productivity

Tip of the day: If an application has translated its interface into another language, you can choose the language in which it is used. #DEVONthink is, e.g., available in English, French, and German.

You know your boss has been using #LLMs too much when...

A recent study showed that developers thought using #AI had made them 20% more productive, but actually it had made them 19% LESS productive.
If you want to stand a chance of AI making you more productive you need to understand what you are asking it to do, and how to evaluate what AI produces.

Look out for my public trainings, or get in touch to book a private training for your team. https://jcq.me/train?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=mastodon-link&utm_campaign=professional&id=iTfP4qTMEo

According to METR, developers using AI tools reported feeling more efficient, but the real-world data tells a different story: a 19% increase in task completion time.

This "perception gap" highlights the need for rigorous evaluation of AI's real-world impact in software development.
