I wonder what happened to the old addage of "only 10% of the time you actually spend coding, the rest of the time is figuring out what is needed". At the same time I see people cla…

I've heared Americans, unironically, state that the metric system is less precise than the imperial system. I have no clue what the origin is of this myth, but at this point I woul…

I've thought of this too. But I always end up in a scenario where, in order to make the LLM spit out consistent and as precise as possible code, we end up with a very simple and ti…
