@dimillian @m00nk @IceCubesApp That's great news.

@evan@cosocial.ca "young", "inexperienced", "small". That particular constellation of adjectives would lead to a pretty bad product I think!
The important keyword here is "small". A small but experienced team will run circles around any other combination. Age is less important (but tends to correlate with experience, one would assume.)

@otherdog @tante I guess I'll drop the link again just for reference if you haven't seen it, I didn't do so above because I feel like I post this every single day now to the point where the self-promotion feels shameful. but it remains painfully, almost nauseatingly relevant, so, here you go https://blog.glyph.im/2025/08/futzing-fraction.html

@otherdog @tante In my own analysis I discounted that cost to zero and still found myself estimating very heavy costs, just from the downsides of using the model itself, which AFAICT are going _totally_ unmeasured almost everywhere

Thanks to everyone who responded!
One of the persistent myths of software engineering is that a young, inexperienced, small team can make a product better and faster than an experienced team.
I haven't found this to be the case. Most of the brand-new teams I've seen have been pretty shaky.
So, I'm going to say "somewhat important".

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io @tante@tldr.nettime.org @glyph@mastodon.social and now we have "so many models to choose from", so we get to play double extra bonus round roulette! Don't just vary your prompts, change models! Infinite combinatorics! You'll never run out of parameters to fiddle with! Burn those tokens, burn em good!

@emma haven't formalized it fully so it's not written up anywhere. It's in my head and a few phrases on slides right now.
