If you think current "AI" can design and build a consumer device, I have a lot of bridges that I'd like to sell you.

Reality check time for you: people were saying this exact thing 3 years ago. You cannot extrapolate like that.

I'm not unhappy that anyone is excited, I'm frustrated by the amount of time and effort being wasted right now, and especially by how out of control people's expectations about these tools are. I say this as a daily user of m

Most of us wish we could stop hearing about LLMs. A little reminder that every year since 2022 has been the last year that anyone will ever do anything by hand according to you prophets. I'll give it 3-4 years before it's gone the

Fortunately, they can beat an automated idiot agent, which is much closer to what we have today.

Nothing Western about this type of naivety. You'll find this all across the world at present.

For software that's meant to be maintained for long periods, especially by others, I agree with you. The thing about AOC is that it's really less about the code that you generate, and more about the process of solving the problem.

Because only young people can make time for things. There are plenty of professionals with jobs and families making time for AOC because they enjoy it. Doing the problems at the same time as everyone else is a VERY different experience from

No, and you also shouldn't hire people that think that a company's culture is dictated by which chat app they use. Very stupid.

$10M is never work again money literally anywhere in the world. Don't kid yourself. Buy a $3.5M house outright and then collect $250k per year risk free after taxes. You're doing whatever you want and still saving money.

What I said is much more nuanced. I certainly wouldn't call myself a scrum apologist. There are good implementations of scrum, and there are teams that like it. In my experience across companies and industries, it's a much larger

The first 4 paragraphs were enough to know that it isn't worth the time. You can't spend 50% of the article being so off base and have the rest be worthwhile.

Every single post of this type is wrong. You don't need to read beyond the first line. "Scrum is horrible" - no, it's not (at least not necessarily) and asserting that you somehow know that this is true for _everyone_ is

I think this is a good article, but it could be about 25% the length and then it would be great instead.

That is not a benefit. If you use a tool like this to try to compete with sophisticated actors (e.g. all major firms in the capital markets space) you will lose every time.

You didn't present it as a thought experiment, and it's also not something to treat flippantly. If it happens, it will be because we achieve AGI and nothing less. I know it's in vogue to think that's 5 years away right n

Yeah... no chance. There will be no code in 5 years. What a joke. Even if it were technically possible (it's not), the idea that the humans involved would be able to make it happen in such a short amount of time is laughable. Seriously

So, your pauseless GC pauses or requires some form of resource contention (probably mutex-based) to share the state. It's not possible to have a pauseless GC in thread per core, which immediately rules it out for HPC. These are the typ

The frustrating thing is that people say this without realizing that GCs haven't, and by necessity cannot provide the type of deterministic and predictable performance that would lead someone to use Rust/C++ and friends. There are

+1 for this. I think of it as momentum. Whatever I start my day with sets the tone for my day as a whole. Changing my personal growth time to the morning is probably the best change I ever made for myself.

Large refactoring and updates are exactly where strong type systems are the most useful. Make change, fail build, fix build, be happy. Unit tests are still there to turn green when you're done. I can't think of many worse experien

I mean, presumably the author is talking about planning around how an established company is planning on improving or innovating on their existing product. I don't think the advice is useless to someone who doesn't have much exper
