How about you go after the guys that actually do harm to children and let the rest of us live in peace?

A Philips engineer visited our chair end of the 90s and told the same about the size "the cassette could be handled with one hand, let's keep that". He also told us they designed their delicate test equipment so that it would fit on a 1st class seat but not 2nd, so when they had to sit next to it during the flight (much too sensitive stuff to check in), management had to book them 1st class flights to Japan. ;)

Didn't you read? Don't give too simple one-shot prompts.

Share please? ;)

Oh wow I was just being facetious given the previous comment. Appreciate the response, looks promising!

If you discuss architecture in a code review, you already wasted too much when you correct it.

Oh no, maybe the V-Model was right all the time? And right sizing increments with control stops after them. No wonder these matrix multiplications start to behave like humans, that is what we wanted them to do.

So basically you’re saying LLMs are helping us be better humans?

Better humans? How and where?

Ah come on, Drumeo is excellent entertainment with cocktail party knowledge bits here and there. ;)

I love those Drumeo challenges. I don’t even play drums. But watching creative people who are excellent at their craft solve an unknown problem in a new way - when we are all familiar with the original solution - is fascinating.

I am old. This immediately triggered "Perl!?" in me...

Joke aside: Programming languages and compilers are still being optimized until the assembly and execution match certain expectations. So prompts and whatever inputs to AI also will be optimized until some expectations are met. This includes looking at their output, obviously. So I think this is an overblown extrapolation like many we see these days.

Ha! I had someone doing a task the other day and the llm they used wrote a regex in Perl. I joked that in 25 years all the seems to have changed is the number of layers between me and Perl.

> I am old. This immediately triggered "Perl!?" in me...

Same same.

I thought it would be about APL

me too

I am not old but started programming early. It also triggered "Perl??" and "PHP??".

No

Where is the promised "Why?“

The why is: The universal architecture can't fit all use cases like described in the article

We are in such a situation, not for web but embedded and tools. We found getting the split between build system and CI right is one of the most important things. Don't model as CI dependencies what in essence is a build dependency. Then local builds can predict CI outcome well.

Went from Jenkins/Conan/CMake to GH/Bazel with tons of stuff learned, the most important learning being "declarative eats imperative for breakfast" and that hermetic builds enable remote caching. Build duration on average went down from hours to minutes (because our PRs try to be small incremental updates) for everybody including CI.
