> But not before it had triggered some infosec alert and they blasted me with a stern “ACTION REQUIRED” email. Why didn’t it fail the build before it was committed if they can automatically do this

All that “signal” nonsense can be parroted by both an LLM and someone who read “how to pass system interviews”. Yea, great “signal”.

I must be getting old because I really don’t think git needs a simplified model. But hey, if people find value from this, more power to them. The blog is well written too.

This is correct. Multiple different agents trying, multiple retries, and many other different solutions can help with this. I have seen agents try one method, get negative feedback, and then try another working method.

Heh, I get to totally dunk on this guy by calling him a vibe coder for not using lazy evaled string interpolation. Wait a second.. If I do ANY ACTUAL engineering and log out the time savings, it's completely negligible and just makes t

I find it funny that management started referring to themselves as leadership in the recent decades. Maybe some are, but most are your run of the mil administrators that carry out whatever upper management says. Hardly leadership.

It happens when an ex-engineer is in a leadership position. The results are good, but it’s typically a small part of having a successful company. However, you should want to build quality software because building quality things is fulfilli

Legal troubles are exactly why you have a legal team. Uber didn't ask for permission, neither did OpenAI. Now they're worth billions. Microsoft and Apple do their own fairshare of probably borderline illegal things too.

There’s nothing wrong with this pattern. It would be like calling JSON or YAML an anti-pattern. Sometimes you want data in that format that a parser then parses. Normally if it’s a dynamic sidebar that comes from the server. I appreciate th

My experience with software is 80% or more is slop that could have used more perfectionism. Most engineers couldn’t create a perfect piece of software even if they wanted to. Get to the point where you have that ability and then dial it bac

Ask it to draw any of those things and it can.

Can we get python with sane async, parallelism, map/reduce and scoping instead?

Your IDE should handle this kind of drudgery for you. The tests folder layout needn't be complex and deep either.

In the same way “no architecture” is a type of architecture, sure, throwing everything into one folder is technically organizing.

The post explicitly mentions it works because they invested a lot into internal tooling. > It probably would be a bad idea unless you can build tooling that really benefits from this choice.

I don’t like seeing test files close to the code. It’s clutter and distracting. Some people do and that’s fair, but there’s no one way.

Everything is relative. This won’t scale on large websites with huge amounts of components. More useful is guidelines or tips on how to organize.

Reminds me of the same issues with self driving. Seems like we need a completely different approach to solve these class of problems.

Does anyone know what Sam’s great super power is besides acquiring power? He may as well be another less successful flavor of Elon Musk.

Most of the entire field of machine learning is “try shit and see what works”. So it seems like they’re par for the course.

Anyone in the field kind of knew this, unless they’re a hype grifter. But who knows what transformers v2, v3, and beyond will look like. They better be a big leap though, because big tech has big pockets, but not infinite ones. And it’s rea

I hope you can get on that promising drug ASAP and that it works wonders. I think the future looks bright for medicine with all these new breakthroughs coming out.

So give them real ownership of the company and real fruits of their labor. Otherwise yea why wouldn’t they go to the highest bidder?

The answer is not hating AI, it’s implementing UBI when AI produces x10 more wealth and resources for humanity. That’s a people problem, not an AI problem. And furthermore, we’re not even remotely close to that. I guarantee this product act
