I think you're getting too distracted with the analogies. LLMs have been shown to spit out easily code for patterns that are very common such as todo apps. That isn't very impressive in itself. LLMs are cool and show some interest

There is no meaningful answer to this question. There are hundreds of millions of answers that change with varying frequency with intervals going from decades to milliseconds.

I agree. I think the game plan is to foster dependency and than hike prices. Current pricing isn't sustainable, and a whole generation of new practitioners will never learn how to mentally model software.

How are you surprise that getting an LLM to spit out a clone of a very common starter project is evidence of it being able to generate non trivial and valuable code - as in not a clone of overabundant codebases - on demand?

> The science of engineering from a practical standpoint, where most demand for employees comes from, is very much algorithmic. You should read up on Göedel's and Turing's work on the limits of formal systems and computability.

I think the blind spot here is that, while LLMs may decrease the developer-time cost of software, it will increase the lifetime ownership cost. And since this is a time delayed signal, it will cause a bullwhip effect. If hiring managers wer

It's clear to anyone paying attention that LLMs hit a wall a while back. RAG is just expert systems with extra steps. 'Reasoning' is just burning more tokens in hopes it somehow makes the results better. And lately we've

If the US becomes isolationist, it's technological edge becomes irrelevant. The US pulling out of the World Order it builds and which underpins its massive wealth won't hurt anyone more than the US.

The premise that CEOs are stewards of companies is flawed. Their pay exploded over the period covered in this analysis. Hurting companies doesn't matter to them.

Hey, thanks for listening. You seem to put a lot of import on typing, any thoughts on the Elixir effort to introduce that to the language?

Are you concerned that eventual LLM price hikes in the near future reflecting their real cost might explode your cost or render your workforce ineffective?

It's a great article but calling Erlang's philosophy of 'Let it crash' a pithy, catchy statement that brushes over the complexities of the real world was an unwarranted attack. There's much more to it and with Elixi

This is the logical conclusion of software's cognitive arrogance. Software developers tend to believe they know better than anyone else, and that is the reason so much friction exists in the surface between developers and domain practi

The point you're trying to make is a trivial one: in the absence of errors, there are no problems. LastPass e2ee was never the problem in the original story either.

I seem to remember a phase when talking about it was denounced as vitriol, together with praising Rust. Maybe it was just a phase, maybe I took some random criticism too seriously.
