Strongly agree. I've been working on the tech side of the newsroom as an engineer, and before that I was a data journalist and before that I was a shoe leather journo. I build stuff for reporters, not for bosses to fire them. And I'm constantly in awe of how much knowledge is baked into their workflow.
I've gotten very good at getting to product decisions with non technical people but it is a lot of work!

Here's the final draft. Riffing on some concepts Cory Doctorow @pluralistic writes about -- "process knowledge" and "communicative intent."
Bad bosses and naive ai Vibers don't appreciate process knowledge filling in the gaps in their communicative intent because they think their prompt says it all.
Here's a draft blog post in dialog with ideas from @pluralistic on process knowledge and communicative intent, wherein I try to tie these concepts together.

Bad bosses, like AI vibers, don't know what they don't know. They fail to appreciate process knowledge, which I call the expertise byproduct, and don't appreciate the gaps in their communicative intent that their workers (human or AI) fill in for them.
