Leaving this here, as I couldn't leave it on authors blogpost: I grew accustomed to these choices, so would navigate through them on autopilot. Once I was quick enough to get "We noticed suspicious activity indicating that you&#x2

Ah, I see what you mean now. Yes, my mind went straight to static analysis and testing (unit, feature, uat, mutation). Thanks for expanding on your point!

Don't forget that LLMs are trained on human code. If they cannot understand what your code does then they cannot make changes to it, or at least - having them understand your codebase becomes expensive (more trips to Anthropic servers)

I disagree. What I should have added is that with agents (as well as humans) you do need to have tests that verify what was done.

I mirror your thoughts. I think we'll end up with "perfect map" paradox = you cannot be vague or indecisive on what you want (and if you are then these decisions don't matter) and you're creating a 1:1 representatio

Exactly - the normalization of craft (?) is interesting

by eithed 4mo ago
Don't forget that you can adjust your requirements (either via plan or skill) to ensure the mistakes do not happen. The problem is that neither LLMs, nor humans (that don't work with the domain) will know they made these mistakes

The road will be built to some specs, including features nobody asked for. If the corpus was trained for roads built in Arctic, you will get penguin crossings.

I agree. But if I'm paying for the road (even as a taxpayer) I get angry that after a year it's full of potholes and that there are unnecessary signs warning about penguin crossing, making it cost 2 times more than it should have

True, but you should say that about every thing. Does it matter to you how the car drives, as long as it takes you to your destination? Well, yes, it matters: how will it deal with a crash, and if it's possible to replace a part and if

Fair enough, but enterpreunership should, I guess, ask questions if given Next Big Thing has substance behind it or is it just snake oil.

What I find fascinating that there is so little substance in this article about the quality of produced code and the medium. Is the code documented and tested? Is it understandable and extendable? Is it secure? What language, framework, dat

I assumed that as it was hitting too close home (both PMs and EMs were expected to use AI, with PM trying to code in solutions that they didn't have expertise nor domain knowledge to deal with; EM was prototyping solutions that had acc

Even if it's a mandate top-down, you can: - show increase in errors and outages caused by this approach - integrate manager changes into your CI pipeline (coding / reviewing / testing / documentation) - discuss how your

Sure, producing code has become cheap. Yet again the taste matters and LLMs do not have taste - they will apply patterns that are unnecessary or not extendible, producing unmaintainable systems that nobody understands. Capturing domain know

Depends - using Sonnet here and generally it should be as you say: plan would produce the result. Still Claude will sneak things in - in my recent plan, for example I had defined, per acceptance criteria what colours the statuses should be:

Write a skill outlining your expectations of the code, put that skill into the pipeline, so that it can be included within your workflow. Webdev here, but currently I have: - a skill where I outlined how the architecture of the system shoul

Fair enough, I was looking at budget fields on wiki rather than reading the tidbits - thanks for the correction still!

True - your comment reminded me of Cube; that was done in 3 weeks, with budget of $350,000 CAD (according to wikipedia). Another favorite of mine - Primer = 5 weeks with budget of $7k. edit: looking at others, Pi - 4w and $130k

While $500k 90m movie done in two weeks is an accomplishment, looking at the trailer it's very dubious to me on the quality of it. Plot, characters, audio - everything screams "I've already seen this somewhere", there&#x

I agree and this response was following OPs example. But the point still stands - the goal is to outsource, in a weird way, the results being served = Google as such wouldn't need to pay for content. Now, if accuracy of such sources do

I'd say it depends - evaluate the vibes. I spent 8y and recently 7y at a company where I genuinely responded with what I thought. But I'd say it's a matter of the audience - some people want to hear certain things and decidin

This video tells me otherwise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDQds7VZkfg ( Cold Ones - We Drank AI's Horrible Cocktail Ideas). This is a tongue in cheek response though, as LLMs improved significantly since then.

Exactly! If you're an owner (ie: expert, you teach other people how to do your stuff) you should be making decisions and taking responsibility, given existing context. I'm happy using LLM to confirm my reasoning or research, but i
