We all know this isn’t replacing doctors. We do know that when applied correctly, this will assist doctors and other clinical specialists in their work. With doctor burnout at all time highs, I think stuff like this is amazing.

I could see that, and I wouldn't want LLMs just generating tests willy-nilly with no human oversight. I don't have any trust in the reasoning ability of LLMs at all. Rather, I prefer to view LLMs as a junior dev that submits PRs t

You're right. I've edited my wording to be more realistic about the value of the test. I believe you're right that the test is not an outlier in terms of value provided. Some of my comments within the article are more aspirat

Good point! I used exponential to emphasize the nature of the value of a certain test compared to the rest of the generated tests, but you're right it's not the right word. I updated the article to remove the usage. :)

Quality has to be backed my metrics or else it will never happen. PS. Big fan of this person’s recent blog posts. He’s been on a roll!

I inserted these because I personally like reading related discussions and articles of topics at hand. Not sure how this is a negative :/

Ouch - half of the article (the "Actionable Takeaways" section) was my own commentary. The summary was for those who didn't want to necessarily parse through the entire paper's PDF. Happy to listen to any constructive fe

Hey! Thanks for your comment - I'm the one who wrote this article. I wasn't trying to say that the paper authors talked about "unexpected edge cases" or "thinking outside the box." I edited the post to be more

I don’t really understand this comment. I didn’t “slap” any date on top of the article. 2 Oct 2023 is the date I published my article. (This is how blogs on the Internet work.) The first line of the article says that this all happened in 20

Correct. This is a retrospective of an artifact from the early 2010s. The architecture is much different now.

I’m the writer of this. I linked to this presentation very clearly throughout the article as a source. This was an article meant to resurface learnings from something that happened a decade ago, with added images and a clear distillation so

A lot more founders and employees are heavily diluted than you think. I always just assumed massive exits meant people were rich. But when I calculated out how much an exec would make for a diluted $1B exit compared to working at FAANG for

Really great idea! I built something similar for myself but this is looks much much nicer than mine :)

While X hasn't been dying just yet, I think this would probably kill it. The value of X comes from both the creators and the free users and lurkers. If it's just full of creators and die-hard lurkers, the value decreases a lot for

I barely use Bard, but I do use the Search Generative Experience and the Bard-in-Google Docs quite a lot. I find both quite useful as they integrate quite well into my daily workflow.

Author here. Comments like this make my day, so thank you! I’m trying to find old software engineering gems and explain them as simply as possible, so I’m glad you found it simple to understand. Also, it’s definitely possible to make a clon

Author here. No ChatGPT was used. Just my own brain reading through old talks and articles from Instagram engineering and Excalidraw for the diagrams. I did my best to put together all the info I learned from them into a comprehensive and

Probably any of the large tech companies? Engineers are the most expensive there since they get paid very well there. AI making engineers more efficient theoretically means they would need less of them. But I don’t think AI will replace eng
