You jest, but you’ve also touched upon something interesting. Is this exactly what companies are trying to do? To the IRS: “We employ zero software engineers—only AI ranch hands to wrangle the AI in the right direction.”

Agreed. I’ve had the same email address for a decade now but cycled through the registrar’s email, Gmail, and M365 in that time. Makes it easy to switch.

In my experience doing this, it does not. The wrapping is all yours to write—frameworks and the standard library don’t use it. Their errors would appear as “leaf” errors decorated by the wrapping you, as a team, have added.

Yes, but the motivations to move towards true AGI are what will lead us to that eventuality. Most businesses think they want AGI, but will hate it when they actually have it. They believe AGI will let them fire all their employees, because

The TLA Plus examples repository is very good: https://github.com/tlaplus/Examples . I would recommend starting with something simple like the DieHard problem.

Perhaps, but there is still some value in "capturing the bug with a failing test." If some ordering presents a defect, you can recreate it and prove that you've fixed the bug.

If all tickets are the same price, then any buyer-seller combination will do. I believe the seller doesn’t get to choose the buyer and both are anonymous. No way to coordinate such an out-of-band payment.
