I think Claude could raise it's prices 100x and people would still use it. It'd just shift to being an enterprise-only option and companies would actually start to measure the value instead of being "Whee, AI is awesome! We&#

Ah, the old "let's not have gun control, criminals can always find a gun" again. Except that when there are fewer guns around it is manifestly harder for more criminals to find. That's not my argument though. Gambling

Putting too much trust in an agent is definitely a problem, but I have to admit I've written about a dozen little apps in the past year without bothering to look at the code and they've all worked really well. They're all jus

But you can’t just not review things! Actually you can. If you shift the reviews far to the left, and call them code design sessions instead, and you raise problems on dailys, and you pair programme through the gnarly bits, then 90% of wh

If you care about code quality you should be steering your LLM towards generating high quality code rather than writing just 'more code' though. What's exhausting is believing you care about high quality code, then assuming t

I've tried using Spotify and similar services that try to track your preferences but they're just, I don't know, boring. I much prefer the challenge of a human-picked DJ set. The significant problem that AI faces in automat

I think this is mapping the direct impact of AI on specific jobs, e.g. can an LLM with access to tools do those roles. If you expand AI to be the impact of development of AI-driven robotics and automation (e.g. robotic workers, autonomous

Again, read the terms. Service has a specific meaning, and it isn't what you're assuming. Don't assume things about legal docs. You will often be wrong. Get a lawyer if it's something important.

A professional tool is something that provides reliable and replicable results, LLMs offer none of this, and A/B testing is just further proof. The author's complaint doesn't really have anything to do with the LLM aspect o

Section 6.b of the Claude Code terms says they can and will change the product offering from time to time, and I imagine that means on a user segment basis rather than any implied guarantee that everyone gets the same thing. b. Subscriptio

It's a shame the team don't have access to a product that would automatically research and implement what's needed on an AI product website.

Codex, on the other hand, will follow something I said pages and pages ago, and because it has a much larger context window (at least with the setup I have here at work), it's just better at following orders. This is important, but a

If it's wrong then it's not provably correct (for any value of 'proof'). How you define your proof is up to you. It might be a simple test, or an exhaustive suite of tests, or a formal proof. It doesn't matter. If

Models aren't deterministic - every time you would try to re-apply you'd likely get different output (without feeding the current code into the re-apply and let it just recommend changes) If the result is always provably correct

Based on the fact that we've had ATMs since the 1970s and bank tellers didn't fall away until the 2000s, the correlation isn't there regardless of the causation.

Part of this is jealousy (yes, I said it) It's not jealousy though. It's seeing an operational bottleneck as inefficiency. If you know what you want and you have to go through someone else to get it, that's frustrating, so

I.e. senior review is valuable, but it does not make bad code good. I suspect that isn't the goal. Review by more senior people shifts accountability from the Junior to a Senior, and reframes the problem from "Oh dear, the junio

You're saying that projects need to be waterfall rather than Agile in order to avoid making architecture mistakes you'll regret later. The problem with that is that as you build you learn things, and that changes the plan. Consequ

You chosen AI agent can and will plan as far ahead as you tell it to plan. If you tell it to do things in iteration 1 that might block it in iteration 3 then you should have told it more about where you want to go back in iteration 1.
