Compiler goes to programmer. "Programmer, I am in rough shape. Mutable references abound and the tiniest changes break API compatibility." Programmer replies, "The treatment is simple! Rewrite in Haskell and GHC will sort you right out." Compiler bursts into tears: "But I am GHC!"

The person who aces a whiteboard interview and the person who is best at agentic coding are increasingly different people, and the increasingly different is going to produce a hiring crisis.

"Humans won't work unless they're forced to" is a myth for stupid people. If you're paying attention, humanity loves to do the job... they just don't like to be exploited and abused just to survive, the 2 tools people THINK you need to inflict upon humans to make them work.

I don't know how to say it emphatically enough, but _so many_ of the obstacles people face are exacerbated by them backing away from what they perceive their opponents (bosses, political adversaries, etc.) to be, instead of accurately assessing what really lies in front of them.

tool design lesson: make your tools print embarrassing log lines to everyone if some step is taking unreasonably long. then they don't have to do anything to profile for trivial problems. buck2 does this to build actions: it shows them in red if they take more than 5s.

Monorepo means that they can have one version of every dependency. Linters fail non-standard tech at build time. Uniform agent skills. When you standardize, agents do better, verification is easier, then reviewing & planning is easier, which makes the standardization process faster.

As someone who gets paid a lot of money to provide contract engineers for scientific industry who use a whole lot of AI, I can't disagree more. The best way to understand LLMs is that if you're about to run headfirst into a brick wall, they take you there faster.

the reaction to every "we built X with LLMs" story needs to be "how have you verified it". it's way too easy to spin hype out of simulacra of working software that turns out to be garbage. they're running the newspaper correction playbook

I'm generally on the pro-AI side, but every now and then I hit an executive function block and try to have them write prose for me and it never works. Blog posts and papers should not be written by LLMs, the result isn't very good and it's disrespectful to the humans asked to read them.
