Should also have noted that I put the "prompt" in the bug report. So my top level Claude prompt becomes "Please take a look at issue #xxx".

There's a one-word shortcut for all that: fascism.

I've thought about this, and I do save the sessions for educational purposes. But what I ended up doing is exactly what I ask developers to do: update the bug report with the analysis, plan, notes etc. In the case there's a single

Whittle (Whipple is a painter) "invented" the jet engine while serving in the RAF, so technically not privately funded at the point of invention. There was private funding used later to create prototype engines. Quite a stretch to

Interesting. When I had Claude write a language transpiler it always checked that tests passed before declaring a feature ready for PR. There was never a case where it gave up on achieving that goal.

Cost me almost nothing in inference time (I have the monthly subscription), although if I had been paying myself at consulting rates it would have cost a few thousand for my time "LLM whispering" :) For clarity: I wasn't runn

Ah, Oberon! I "learned" programming from Niklaus Wirth's Pascal book on a family vacation where I had no computer. Actually I didn't have a computer with a Pascal compiler even if I wasn't on vacation. Anyway, I beg

I'm moderately hopeful that LLMs will help here because they lack the human motivations to needlessly mess around with stuff and over-complicate things.

The point is that artifact is not open.

I'm not sure about this. LLMs can extract both documentation and tests from bare source code. That said I think you're correct that having an existing quality test suite to run against is a huge help.

Around 2005 the Lawrence (Arques) location had every length of every color of Cat5 patch cables, on hand.

I remember all three incarcerations of the original frys location on Lawrence. The first one was the most magical. Nothing like it apart from Akihabara (also now not like it once was).

In the case of the MLS example, there's also a private market (at least in some places, including where I live). Basically nothing in the MLS on any given day is attractive at the asking price. Only newly listed properties are going to

It wasn't a rocket science amazing idea in 1989. It was a pretty obvious thing anyone in the space could see would be interesting to try -- hypertext already existed. The internet was just taking off. The idea that you could host pages

Kind of. I've had a strict policy since LinkedIn launched of only connecting with people I've actually met and had at least some meaningful conversation with. Most of my contacts are former work colleagues. I think this makes my f

I'm still a FB user even though most friends and relatives have disengaged due to toxicity. But what I've noticed consistently is that any group on FB that has more than 1000 members will end up surfacing so much toxic sentiment t

No dog in this fight but the frontier labs might suck at marketing to such customers, and such at servicing their needs.

It's all pattern matching. Your brain fools you into believing otherwise. All other humans (well not absolutely all) join in the delusion, confirming it as fact.
