Know what I love in a good build system? Nondeterminism! Who needs coffee when you can get your thrills from stochastic processes. Why settle for just non-repeatable builds when you can have non-repeatable build failures!
- joelfried 1y agoWould a smart AI accept such foolishness? I doubt it. It'll still use something deterministic under the hood - it'll just have a conversational abstraction layer for talking to the Product person writing up requirements. We used to have to be able to communicate with other humans to build something. It seems to me that's what they're trying to take out of the loop by doing the things that humans do: talk to other humans and give them what they're asking for. I too am not a fan of the dystopias we're ending up in.
- bluGill 1y agoWould it, or would it rewrite / refactor the logic every time. I'd expect the logic to remain as it for months, but then change suddenly without warning when the AI is upgraded.
- kstrauser 1y ago“Just make it generate YAML and cache that until the prompt changes!” Orrrrr… just keep that YAML as the sole configuration input in the first place. Use AI to write it if you wish, but then leave it alone.
