I come up with at least two ideas like this every time I sit down in the toilet to poop.

No, they're just trained to impress the C-suite motherfuggers with dense vocab.

That makes it sound like a PM problem. The hardest part is building the mental model which doesn't crumble. I have worked with humans who had the same failure modes as LLMs.

Native compilation which is fast enough, green threads, AST and analysis framework, in-built testing and profiling, call graphs, rewrite tooling (go fix), go.work and modules which are far better than maven / gradle mess. There's

To add, less articulate and somewhat overtly anti-intellectual. Why even learn something when you can ask the slot machine?

It's always hyping up something and throwing punch lines in every sentence. Normies love this shit.

A (lexically-scoped) defer is a more general than a finally block. You can express finally-block semantics using defer. It's also more exception-safe when you have more than one throwing call in the try block.

Map/Filter/Reduce is a bad example for an imperative language. But look at slices and maps packages, or the new proposal for container types. There are many good examples how generics are like salt to food. Another example is erro

Sure it's a bad example. But you can't simplify something like this without losing type safety: SortBy[T, K comparable](slice: []T, key: func (T) K)

In terms of tooling, Go is one of the few languages which remembers that we are in STEM.

Everyone knows the humanities departments are bastions of certain types of propaganda. Either you're naive or engaging in bad faith rhetoric.

Nietzsche, Norse havamal, Greek epics and the Vedas of India did teach me some critical thinking skills on how we take certain types of morality and virtue for granted in the current society. All this critical thinking runs opposite to the

Comprehensions are way cleaner and more optimizable for the common case.

That makes it even more interesting. There are now two possibilities. 1. Most business leaders have quietly turned "anti-woke" because of the performative and loud rhetoric, and DHH considered this before publicly airing his posi

Map function leads to poor code in Go. Function literals are verbose and inlining is far less agressive. It simply isn't the way of the language. Even python shuns map and filter in favor of comprehensions. A for loop is more readable

Have you worked with codebases where people produced slop even before LLMs? In such codebases LLMs are a godsend. They can churn around huge amounts of code and find needles in the haystack.

It's because they don't really have a mental model. RL with Verifiable Rewards can reward working code, but it can't tell you whether the prose make sense or not. In theory RLHF should be good with this. In practice, it appea

The ideological honesty here must be appreciated whatever are one's beliefs with DEI [1] - in that DHH is losing business, but his conviction is strong that he is on the right side of history. This kind of conviction is difficult to fi

Reading the code will not give you the same mental model as writing it. Sure you can catch some high level issues, but the brain is incentivized to skip over the lines which look like boilerplate. any issue in between boilerplate is going t

Christianity is more idolatrous than the ancient Vedic religion, and practically polytheistic due to the veneration of Christ's mother and saints. I find this parallel amusing. Christianity made of Judaism and old testment exactly what

It was the throwing values proposal. Bjarne was not satisfied with the proposal because it didn't interact well with existing exceptions code.
