The comment thread discusses how AI tools can change the nature of thinking in problem-solving, potentially leading to a shift from detailed technical knowledge to more high-level concepts. While this may enhance productivity and allow for more time spent on strategic planning, concerns arise regarding the satisfaction derived from traditional coding practices and potential hidden issues with '70% solutions'. The community largely agrees that AI tools are beneficial but should be used judiciously.

• 70% solutions might be easier to implement with AI but could lead to hidden technical debt and compounding issues
• AI allows for more time spent on strategic thinking about design and architecture
• Over-reliance on AI can diminish the satisfaction of problem-solving

• AI tools are just tools, and their impact on thinking depends on how they are used
• The shift towards higher-level thinking might be beneficial for certain types of work or projects
• Increased productivity with AI can lead to more time for deep technical knowledge acquisition
• Satisfaction from problem-solving is subjective and not necessarily tied to traditional methods

The discussion revolves around the use and standardization of skills for organizing information in language models. Participants express mixed opinions on whether skills are necessary as models improve, with some advocating for their utility in providing autodiscovery and others questioning the need for specific standardization. The conversation also touches on trends such as improvements in context-awareness, integration with local models, and training models specifically for skills understanding.

• Skills are a useful tool for organizing information, but they may become obsolete as models improve
• Standardization is important for discoverability and efficiency across different tools or harnesses
• Skills can be presented in any format, not just markdown files
• The bitter lesson suggests that standardizing skills documentation might not provide significant benefits

• Skills provide autodiscovery, which can be beneficial for agents
• Standardization allows tools to automatically detect and inform agents about available skills
• Skills are not just documentation but also include executable scripts or code
• The bitter lesson might apply only to certain aspects of standardization
