The difference is agency. Let's say I'm a business owner and I'm frustrated with the current state of the on-call system. I have options. I can try negotiating with my clients to l…

> A function with well-constrained inputs and outputs is easy to reason about. It's quite easy to imagine a well factored codebase where all things are neatly separated. If you've …

Assuming you're just referring to repos: not really IMO. As soon as you split 1 repo into 2 repos you need to start building tooling to support your 2 repos. If your infrastructure…

And that's what LLMs are trained on. Hahaha

I'm with you. I use Copilot every day in the way you're describing and I love it. The person I was responding to is claiming to code "hands off" and let the AI write the majority o…

I can definitely see the value in letting AI generate low stakes code. I'm a daily CoPilot user and, while I don't let it generate implementations, the suggestions it gives for boi…

> A lot of the concerns you describe make me think you work in a larger company or team and so both the organizational stakes (maintenance, future changes, tech debt, other people …

How do tests account for cases where I'm looking at a 100 line function that could have easily been written in 20 lines with just as much, if not more, clarity? It reminds me of a …

As a programmer of over 20 years - this is terrifying. I'm willing to accept that I just have "get off my lawn" syndrome or something. But the idea of letting an LLM write/move lar…

You could make the same argument for any non-AI driven productivity tool/technique. If we can't trust the user to determine what is and is not time-saving then time-saving isn't a …

> not what work resources are for Employees are not robots. They are human beings. Sometimes human beings have human problems that need the assistance of other humans. This makes h…

No amount of discipline was going to make medium-large websites maintainable back then. Today it's actually possible if the creators know what they're doing. Tooling isn't going to…

1) Rats nest of non-declarative JavaScript. 2) Rats nest of JavaScript callbacks. 3) Overlapping stylesheets with !important everywhere. 4) Elements used for style not their semant…

> If you are a vim newbie, it takes a lot of time to figure out... The horror!

I don't get it. I love ambient tunes and listen to them for 1-10 hours a day while doing stuff. Any time I need to focus (even when writing an email) I'll throw on my favorite ambi…

Yea, it's tricky. The conception of an idea and the sharing of that idea could be completely different skills in some cases. I'm reminded of the classic Jobs/Wozniak duo that we of…

A heuristics based approach like yours is very underrated.

So... the example the author provides is super contrived. There's no problem with that. But I would expect a contrived example demonstrate the point without obvious holes. So I'm g…
