The "this wasted my time" comments are missing the point...
In addition to his great sense of humor, Steve is usually ahead of the curve in terms of trends. There's a lesson in this. LLMs have become incredible constraint solvers ("SAT-solvers for code"). Well-thought-out tests, types, specs, and docs are all incredibly valuable constraints. This has big implications - for example what happens to licenses when you can cheaply rewrite the codebase and therefore unencumber it.
- Iolaum 7mo agoIs it really re-writing - legally - if you are starting from the codebase itself? Not a lawyer, am wondering however if the Google vs Oracle Java lawsuit has some implications for this.
