It pays for itself very quickly if you do 24/7 generation. Use an AI agent that orchestrates other agents working on many things at once constantly. If speed is a factor, you'd not buy a Macbook, you'd buy dual RTX 3090s. Abo

I agree that we should basically be requiring hand-written-only design docs, because it should force people to make sure they know what they're getting someone else to read. But there's two problems I run into: 1) A lot of peopl

Your second paragraph is the impetus behind Agile Software , and we've all seen how fantastically that failed. Lots of code pushed out quickly, but also a lot of really shitty products, uncertainty, never-complete projects, dysfunctio

These are some great tips! I have some notes: - One of the things about design you notice as you get older, is the bigger a software application is, the worse your options are later on. The design doc can be considered a proxy for the appli

You might as well ask why knives are sharp enough to cut you, why hammers are heavy and blunt enough to destroy things, or why guns fire bullets so quickly that you can't react to them. These "behaviors" are not strange side

Back on my usual rant: we need software building codes. Among the many different reasons we've needed them for years, is safety. Our world depends on software, and our software should be safe. Security is a part of safety. If your so

My point is, you will always have to check the work, no matter who makes it or how. If you can't check it, then don't rely on it. If you can check it, then do rely on it. Basic due diligence. I don't get what the controversy

There are a whole lot of people out there who use Miro for all of their documentation, planning, troubleshooting, etc, in multiple roles. It's a primary tool for many people, like a word processor/sheets/slides on steroids.

Strange that they claim Lee pioneered Anycast usage. Anycast was created when Lee was 2 years old. Afaik, CacheFly was the first big CDN to make Anycast edge networks back in 2002, along with EdgeCast in 2006, then Microsoft, Limelight, etc

Don't find them. Ask the AI to do something. When it does it correctly, ask it to make a skill for it. Clear the session, try to use the skill, fix any problems found, modify your repo and harness if necessary. Repeat until skill works

Don't say that too loudly.. People will think you're encouraging use of AI in researching and writing articles, which is apparently a mortal sin. Certain people here would rather read a nonsense post by a human than a logical post
