It's really inconsistent though.. it takes shortcuts and leaves todos all the time without really calling it out explicitly, you have to pay close attention.

> I’ve rarely seen AI wrote test cases that expose buggy code. Switching to AI development on several of our projects exposed a lot of code that either never worked or didn't work the way that we thought it did.

I think what has really happened is a re-weighting of the importance of a lot of software practices. I think basically all of scrum/agile is completely useless now, but tests, PR reviews, documentation, decision records, etc, are more

I pasted the code into claude Opus 4.7 with no internet access and just asked it to just tell me what the function did, and it explained it and also called out the bug. I did not tell it to look for bugs: > Observations & Potential

> Now that doom is here, it's too late to do anything about it. Just accept the doom! What doom? This is a mildly annoying problem that will likely be self correcting long term.

Fixing bugs has been automated by claude code and other tools for a while. We've merged a bunch of bug-fix PRs by claude, some of which were found by other bots.

This probably gets solved outside of the level of an individual project. No small team can handle this without building a whole product just to handle the bug bounty.

It doesn't have to be _much more intelligent_ than Opus to be a risk. It doesn't even need to be _more intelligent_. It just needs to be _better at finding security problems_. Which could happen from just minor improvements in

If you have a pick proof lock, that is better than an easily picked lock, even if someone can still kick your down down, or if you forget to lock it.

I love this and I have a handful of tools like this that I built for myself (I had claude write me a TUI crossplane kcl function renderer, for example -- something whose total addressable audience in the world is probably 20 people). "

That's an argument about land usage and not land ownership. There are plenty of short term rentals run by individuals, and if you banned corporate ownership of short term rentals and kept the other incentives the same, more individual

There is a third and, to me, so much more likely outcome that it's not even worth talking about the other two: AI makes workers more productive and unlocks more economic activity.

My experience with avoiders and reducers and recyclers is that they want to avoid _my_ idea and do _their_ idea instead.

After my first proof of concept went into production by surprise, I stopped building proof of concepts and started building MVPs. That's not to say that my first pass that I show people is ready to go into production, but I build the P

I would argue that you should use python if the LLM is writing code for a non-programmer to understand and contribute to. Ie: things like notebooks.

People want to exempt housing from the laws of supply and demand. The reason real estate is expensive is that there is not enough housing available for everyone to own a house that wants a house. If we want inexpensive housing, we need a ma

Lambda calculus is a mathematical formalism that captures a lot of what we care about in terms of computation with a few primitives and some rewrite rules. It is not a programming language, by itself.

It's not, really. Curl is an extraordinarily high value target that has already been picked over by well funded security researchers and state-sponsored groups using state of the art tooling for decades. That is not the target for wh

I have heard this sort of thing a lot from people working with agents, and I just think it's fundamentally misguided as a way to think of them, and if you work with them this way, you are probably setting money on fire for no reason be

That is one take, but here is how I interpret it. They spent a lot of money training a model which isn't doing enough inference to justify continuing to use those GPUs, and now they are buying even more GPUs to build an even bigger mo
