A lot of that is inherent in the framework. eg Java and Go spew boilerplate. LLMs are actually pretty good at generating boilerplate. See, also, testing. There's a lot of similar boilerplate for testing. Giving LLMs a list of &quot

Nonsense. Upgrading python using standard tools does not regularly require OS upgrades. asdf, rbenv or various other tools will happily pull in new releases from their ecosystems. Go requires macos from 2016 or kernel 3.2 which I think is

Or just developing in Apple's crappy ecosystem. eg Apple publishes a new ios rev; debugging on it requires upgrading xcode; and that requires updating your OS. . Good thing you don't mind wasting a full day or more reinstalling e

I wasn't disagreeing with you; I idly did the mental math, was surprised at how high it was, then thought through how I'd probably finger-in-the-air that it would take a couple thousand eng years to build a whole car OS. You&#x27

it's a lot cheaper to pay one exec a couple million than to staff a medium-sized software engineering org: even 500 people at an average fully burdened cost of $250k is $125m/y.

This is nonsense. Some people may have to sign up to Google One to pay them a fee starting at $20/year to access gmail/drive/docs/groups/forms. We, and they, will all live through. etc.

fyi, a sole prop can get an address from ipostal1 for about $25 up front and $250/year. And LLCs should be using an agent. I understand this is yet another cost, and for a hobby, etc etc. Just letting people know these services exist

I generally agree, but their manual memory management CVEs were dated 2014 and 2020. That doesn't really feel like a strong substantiation of their case here.
