The most successful software in a field is typically NOT the best software. The authors of the article live in a world that does not exist. Clean code lost, many years ago.

Exactly. They probably barely knew his name.

Is a manager “good” if they’re not talking about your career growth? I disagree with the author on this point so the rest of it really doesn’t follow. Then again, he also had 20 managers in 18 years… so yeah I can see why none of his manage

Supply chain attacks are so scary that I think most companies are going to use agents to hard fork their own versions of a lot of these core libraries instead. It wasn’t practical before. It’s definitely much more doable today.

Theres a video of a recent talk Nicolas Carlini gave this past week on Youtube. It’s eye opening. If you don’t believe that LLMs are going to transform the cybersecurity space after watching that I can’t help you.

Because not all software gets auto-updated. Most of it does not!

Yeah. I think people are deluding themselves as to how capable these models are now.

Agents can clearly strip out functionality from libraries already. They can certainly backport patches to whatever parts you strip out. The advantage of decoupling from supply chain attacks is so large that I expect this to be standard prac

I’m not so sure… what I see as more likely is that coding agents will just strip parts from open source libraries to build bespoke applications for users. Users will be ecstatic because they get exactly what they want and they don’t have to

Am I the only person here confused by the line the author draws between high CO2 levels and high transmissibility of viruses. I think they’re confusing correlation for causation here.

Better hope not. If the AI bubble pops it’s going to make the dotcom bubble look like a tiny divot in the road.

Yeah, this architecture is completely unnecessary.

Every single objective metric that we have access seems to suggest that they are, and the zeitgeist online seems to suggest that they are, but you're right. Your personal experience trumps all of that.

No, I think we just fundamentally disagree. IMO, black boxes that "just work" will be fine provided they can produce intermediate artifacts and explanations that make sense. The people that I know who use CoWork already don't

You're moving the goal posts. A year ago, _no one_ thought it could write a working compiler. Yes, the compilers we've seen today are not great. Yes, they rely too much on existing implementations. But... if you can't see whi

The argument here seems to be “you need AGI to write good code. Good code is required for… reasons. AGI is far away. Therefore code is not dead.” First, I disagree that good code is required in any sense. We have decades of experience provi

Djikstra wasn’t a god. He’s going to be wrong on this one.

This study's cutoff date was August 2025. I don't think this result is surprising given the level of coding agent ability back then. The whole thing just shows how out-of-date academic publishing is on this subject. >This yield

$100 to go to the movies for a family of four. No thanks. There’s no mystery why the movies are dying. They’ve priced themselves out and then they give away the product on streaming several months later anyways. If they want theaters to com

How many model releases are we away from people like this throwing in the towel? 2? 3?

Interesting idea, I wanted to see an example of the agents working on a canvas when I opened your page. I saw nothing of the sort. Sorry, but immediate fail. This may be too harsh, but you need to make it immediately clear to someone today

This paper doesn’t really tell us much. The cutoff was September of 2025. The models have improved so much that I just don’t know what you can take away from this experiment.

If the logs are being read by agents then they should be more detailed and verbose to help the agent understand the root cause. We reduce the volume of information for humans. That doesn’t need to be the case any longer.

I wish I could upvote you more than once. A 20%, permanent, reduction in the white collar workforce would cause the worst recession since 2008.

I don’t get how you can see where we started three years ago and see where we are today and then _confidently_ say AI will not continue to improve. It’s not about where we are today folks (the intercept of the line). It’s about the rate of

I feel like this is an outdated point of view now. Logs are clearly going to be read primarily by agents very soon, if they're not already now. For example, we're experimenting with having Claude Desktop read log files for remote

Yeah, are these poems? I feel like it's just more AI slop.

Uh, Opus 4.6 avoids introducing regressions 75% of the time?

Feels incremental. Looks like OpenAI is struggling.

The crew at xAI watched Terminator and thought: "this looks so badass".
