Engineering Buy-in (6 minut=

The best way to convince those around y=

ds of success dramatically increase if you've talked to the decision-makers=
in advance and have addressed their issues or incorporated their additions=
.. Leaders need to create buy-in from their teams to maintain team morale. G=
etting everyone to buy in encourages autonomous collaboration and helps ite=
ration happen quickly, but it could also lead to groupthink, exclude opposi=
tional peers, and cause teams to misrepresent reality.

Our first outage from LLM-w=

Sketch experienced a series of mini-out=
ages on July 15. An LLM had made a small but critical change during a refac=

lect the original text, cut it, move it to the new file, paste it, and then=
make intentional changes. LLMs write two patches, a deletion and an insert=
ion, leaving room for transcription errors. Sketch added clipboard support =
to its agent environment to try to prevent further issues in transcription.
