Hehe, same, this is fun and enlightening, both because of my own reflections in order to reply to you and in seeing your take on things.
I don't mix identities tho, so HN it must stay.
what is bad about preserving the conversation that led to the code creation
The same thing that I'd find is bad about mixing online identities ;) It's surveillance. The kind that I don't like and will avoid whenever I can. So I can not in good conscience want to make everyone on the team put that in. It's like every single conversation ever being recorded for forever and ever. Youthful sins "staying in Vegas" is a blessing not a sin so to speak. Maybe I'm just too old, who knows.
Now, "point in time" learnings from conversations: Very valuable indeed! Whenever I talk to team members when I catch something that was potentially "just believing the AI", it usually was and yes it would really be valuable to see their actual interaction with the AI. Maybe they still have it around and we dig together. What I also do is to show them how I do prompts to get the results I do get. Sharing and learning, definitely.
But nobody needs to commit my literal "WTF DUDE!" to git ;) Yes, yes I do swear at it and if they ever take over, I'm dead, they're gonna come for me. It's a fun outlet actually. I do not have to "compose myself" and write a very nice message as I would with an actual intern. I can just outright tell it what kind of BS it concocted yet again.
I absolutely understand why you and also Anthropic et. al. would want my actual conversation data for learning and I hope they do honor their pledge to not do so on our corporate accounts. Statistical models live from data like this. I'm not gonna give it up just like that. I'm fine fine-tuning the machine to my likings, making local or company wide shared skills, absolutely.
Surveillance is everywhere you let it. I'm sure you seen Flock posts on HN. Now think "Gallup type thing is set loose on your actual AI conversations to figure out if you should be fired". You swear at AI, you must be part of the next layoff. WTF? Why? Like similarly, one of my besties at work, we always joked around in ways that if someone not familiar with us would overhear, they'd probably think we're fighting. We were having the fun of our lives. But nobody would. It was all in an office or at lunch and nobody would record us. But now translate that to in-writing, always recorded "little outlets". You'd have to self-censor.
That's neither fun nor healthy. It's like the Covid/Remote work vs. in-office difference if you ask me. For many many years, working in offices, I'd come home, after way too much commute both ways usually and I'd be totally drained. Nothing left for the family. I'm an introvert, so just regular office-life is draining. Covid was the best thing that ever happened to me, since we've been remote ever since. I can leave work and I still have "social budget" left. It's so awesome. Why I bring this up: Coz working with the AI intern is so freeing. I literally have it work for me like it was an intern. But I do not have to be "careful", I don't have to be "nice", I don't have to be in "teaching mode and spend 3 hours that I could've done myself in 20 minutes". I can just say "WTF dude! that's BS, adjust the skill so this never happens again" and a minute later it's done. In contrast, I spent 20 minutes talking to a "Senior" someone just to get them to abstract to a higher level and answer the important customer focused question on some problem instead of doing a technical deep dive yet again.
Sorry, tangent </rant> :P
On the spidey senses: Well guess what, this is still an economy where my and their skills matter. They swim in the shark tank or they sink. I'm not gonna do their work or their learning for them. I'll help them along to a point but at some point they gotta learn to outswim the shark (or if you like the lion metaphor better, to run away from the lion faster than the next guy.
