I know the bricklaying metaphor gets overused, but saying coding is solved and then seeing what kind of code ends up in CC or OpenClaw seems to me like building a retaining wall out of oddly shaped broken brick parts and wood and stones and saying building walls is solved. Technically it's a wall and can do what a wall does, so maybe who cares what went into it, but I wouldn't ever use it to keep earth from falling in and crushing my house. I'd hire experienced engineers and craftspeople.
- falcor84 5mo agoI know it's a very controversial stance, but I'm of the full opinion that in a world where a codebase can be entirely automatically regenerated from a test suite, code style and "maintainability" become concepts with negative utility in anything beyond an artisinal project. And I think that what we'll need to define and stand behind is going to be just the test suite and other "boundary conditions".
