Assume you work for e.g., a cigarette company. A company responsible for many deaths by unethically adding highly addictive substances. By sabotaging the company you are making this world a better place. Ethically it's the right thing

No, that’s why I wrote “from my perspective”. I started long ago writing 6502 and 68000 assembly, later c and even later Java. Every step you lose ownership of the underlying layer. This is just another step. “But it’s non deterministic!”,

I'm currently a product manager (was a software engineer and technical architect before), so i already lost the feeling of ownership of code. But just like when you're doing product management with a team of software engineers, te

Looking at the specs of this, why would anybody need a more expensive iphone. This has everything a normal phone needs.

It really depends on your interests: I use daylight for sports after work, really like being able to surf until 22:30 midsummer (52 degrees), so DST works for me. On the other hand, also don't mind the switching between wintertime and

This can be easily done using CLAUDE.md or similar. Easier than registering the MCP with the agent.

So far, cli --help seems to work quite well. I'm optimizing the cli to interact with the agent, e.g., commands that describe exactly what output is expected for the cli DSL, error messages that contain DSL examples that exactly describ

Biggest downside of CLI for me is that it needs to run in a container. You're allowing the agent to run CLI tools, so you need to limit what it can do.

I've been creating a cli tool with a focus on token efficiency. Dont see why cli could not be as token efficient as mcp. The cli has the option to output ascii, markdown and json.

Who says that is my view of the importance of quality? My second sentence starts with "unfortunately"... I'm just recognizing that businesses have challenges to deal with besides quality. Being able to generate revenue is jus

Yes, market dynamics are a bit of a catch 22: customers looking for the best deal, companies looking to reduce costs to still make profit. Customers always looking for the newest features, companies releasing faster before the product is do

A wreck of a product is still better than being out of business by not being able to release fast enough. Unfortunately, the market in general does not reward slow high quality.

I dont understand your response? I'm replying to a message that literally states: "We lack basic education in fitness ... We need to educate ourselves better". Sounds to me he's stating that education IS the problem?

Education is not the problem. People know sugar is bad, people know cigarettes are bad, people know alcohol is bad, still millions use these substances every day. What works best is to find some form of exercise that you really enjoy. I wil

That is also getting cheaper, you can now quickly present him with a few working prototypes so he can quickly make up his mind what best suites him. Another problem is that most users want different things, that's why you get these big

True, but it is a good first step. Start small, increment to larger solutions.

I also have seen lots of dogshit software created by Humans. And i have created useful software with LLMs. If you know how to manage the LLM, it can be very useful.

I don’t understand how you can conclude that LLMs are a dead end: I’ve already seen so much useful software generated by LLMs, there’s no denying that they are a useful tool. They may not replace seniors developers, and they have their limi

Why not just an http server providing access to markdown files? Your llm can curl the files.

I would expect them to build prototypes to iterate over the specs.

With LLMs it's becoming very malleable.

You're mixing up design and manufacturing. A skyscraper is first completely designed (on paper, cad systems, prototypes), before it is manufactured. In software engineering, coding is often more a design phase than a manufacturing phas

You're proving the point? Sharepoint, teams: availability + price. Every company has microflows, sharepoint and teams are automatically available and part of the price or lower priced than the competition.

I just received a consumer association (consumentenbond) test on car reliability and this time the Tesla Y is the most reliable EV in the overview. It scored 9.3 out of 10. The Toyota Aygo is the most reliable ICE with a score of 9.7. Looks

Even though tesla has only 2 models, i would still consider it for a new car, if not for Elon Musk. I have an Y, and it does everything i want it to do. Drives nicely, lots of (cargo) space, no friction charging when driving in Europe. Just

Palantir's mission is to exactly solve the problem you're describing: break through data siloes to get better information. Core of the platform are data pipelines that can move data from any silo into the palantir data lake, where
