That's not the same thing. LLMs don't just obscure low-level technical implementation details like Python does, they also obscure your business logic and many of its edge cases. Letting a Python interpreter manage your memory is o

No, it's 50% marginal income tax rate on income over 75k EUR. With a median SWE salary of ~85k EUR you would be taking home 55k a year, that's an effective tax rate of 35% [1] And that's before we even start talking about w

Based on... what? The more you try to "reduce costs" by letting LLMs take the reigns, the more slop will eventually have to be cleaned up by senior developers. The mess will get exponentially bigger and harder to resolve. Because

LLMs can change their "voice" with a simple instruction. If detecting LLM-generated text was as easy as you think it is then services in this space wouldn't suffer any false-positives or any false-negatives.

There's no point in reading the code in the Git repository or its commit history because that's not the code that you're actually executing. You have to read what's in your node_modules, everything else is irrelevant.

Yeah, they take them because they get high. Believing in things that are unsupported by empirical evidence is in the domain of religion, not science.

I don't really understand what problem you're solving by doing it that way. Instead of storing data (let's call them samples) to durable storage to begin with, you're letting the OS write them to swap which incurs the sa

That's weirdly passive aggressive, swap isn't durable data storage. Reliably recording massive amounts of data for extended periods of time in a studio setting is the most obvious use case for a fixed-size buffer that gets flushed
