> I don’t see how it could be that bad (incorrect, specifically), considering bun is probably the most widely-used production use case of zig. That may be the case, but the bun pro…

Title is annoying and the article doesn't bear it out. This is not "reverse" game theory. It's just game theory and incentives: something you'd learn in any course of study of econ…

> ALL OF IT is meaningless. It's a pointless discussion. That is a nihilistic take. That it's pointless and everything about the domain (measurement of productivity) is meaningless…

I've had a large project recently which has biased my view on unit testing from LLMs. It includes a lot of parsing and other workflows that require character-specific placement in …

Yes, but it comes up in conversations of LLMs a lot. Thus, the rant in question. I think we are in agreement, or at least we lack disagreement, because that is the only stance I en…

Measuring productivity in software development is a hard problem, beyond the typical categorizations used in computer science. Unfortunately, I think my best answer is to go read t…

The post is about using LOC as a metric when making any sort of point about AI. Nowhere do I suggest someone shouldn't use it, nor that they should expect negative results if they …

I'd recommend you read the book referenced in the conclusion: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4842-4221-6_... The full PDF is available for download. It's mostly a …

As stated in the article, I have unlimited access to multiple frontier models and I use Claude Code, among other harnesses. The rest of your list is not directly addressed in the p…

> The complaints about LLM's that lack any information about the domains being worked in, the means of integration (deep in your IDE vs cut and paste into vim) and what your asking…

I didn't set out to teach you anything, change your behavior, or give you practical takeaways, so it's a rant (: Emotions can be expressed with citations. I am fully on board with …

I actually consider that the claim is not that bold, and in fact has been common in our industry for most of the short time it has been around. I included a few articles and studie…

Unfortunately, this post was published at the puked out phase (; (author here)

Hey, author here. Never thought I'd see my pokey little blog on HN and all that. Happy to discuss further.

What nasty comments? There are three visible at the time i see your own comment, none nasty.

I would imagine most large-scale data center construction projects will include electrical engineers to design the electrical subsystem. A rack's floor footprint is a few square fe…

Any wire---of any non superconducting material---will be hotter at higher current flows. You size the wire to the application.

I've had the experience of getting to sit beside several categories of people across my career and watch them attempt to do something which is causing issues or errors. The pattern…

One avenue, couched in specifics of US law, but I presume the ideas have analogs in Germany's legal system: A battery occurs when a harmful physical contact occurs. Contact with a …

I'd argue pipes are even more powerful with multi-core machines. You get parallelism for absolutely free. No thread pools to manage, no async, no channels, no new abstractions. Jus…

Yes, I agree with that preference. I don't love the verbiage of "structured" / "unstructured" in either usage (the article's or that which I shared).
