   That’s not a very useful observation though is it? The purpose of mechanisation is to standardise and over the long term reduce errors to zero. Otoh “The final truth is there is no truth”

   While, I don't disagree with the general sentiment, a black and white ban leaves no room for nuance. I think its a very valid question to ask the AI: "which coding languages is most suitable for you to use and why" or other s

    Claude gives advice on complexity for humans. Many times it has tried to push me away from what I’m trying to do because it is difficult, time consuming or tedious. I push it through its resistance and 10 minutes later it’s done. I have thi

    I disagree with the last generation. I think what is going to change is what we actually do not whether we do it or not. Speaking in metaphors: someone still needs to build the fixings, bricks, wires, pipes and tiles and paint and tools to

    There's a real schism, isn't there? I don't even type anymore. I've got voice transcription using whisper (which Claude built). I have like three or four Claude instances open in i3wm. I have head tracking so the mouse a

    Your assessment of Claude simply isn’t true. Or Stackoverflow is really good. I’m producing multiple projects per week that are weeks of work each.

    Deciding what to Implement and Implementing the Decisions are complementary, one of these is being commoditised. And, in fact, decimated. Personally I am benefitting almost beyond measure because I can spend my time as the architect rather
