We have had LLMs for much longer than 3 years.

I would estimate that out of every 200 lines of code that Claude Code produces, I notice at least 1 issue that would cause severe problems in production. In my opinion these discus…

The closer you get to releasing software, the less useful LLMs become. They tend to go into loops of 'Fixed it!' without having fixed anything. In my opinion, attempting to hold th…

If you are trying to build something well represented in the training data, you could get a usable prototype. If you are unfamiliar with the various ways that naive code would fail…

On what basis are you making that prediction?

Any sufficiently complicated LLM generated program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of an open source project.

Windows' moat was not the operating system code, but that they were able to get distribution via IBM, and then grow an ecosystem of applications that were targeted at Windows, whic…

Was software ever a moat? Software typically only gave companies a small window of opportunity to turn a fleeting software advantage into a more resilient moat (network effects, sw…

In what way is the long term impact of LLMs being underestimated? If anything, it seems that it has been overestimated in the past years and that something other than LLMs will be …

If only that is what investors have figured out. Unfortunately, it seems investors now think that all paid software will be replaced by AI generated software, somehow open source p…

EXWM is great, having the same flow to manage X applications as for emacs buffers is a huge benefit. My only concern is if X11 will be maintained sufficiently into the future to ke…

I am talking about correctness, not style, coding isn't just about being able to show activity (code produced), but rather producing a system that is correctly performing the inten…

Do you have a link to some of the code that you have produced using this approach? I am yet to see a public or private repo with non-trivial generated code that is not fundamentall…

We work with LLMs on a daily basis to solve business use cases. From our work, LLMs seem to be nowhere close to being able to independently solve end-to-end business processes, in …

Does Sam Altman have any relevant technical experience to make that assessment? Sounds like something someone would say that just lost their key technical team members.

Did you consider Kill Bill https://github.com/killbill/killbill ? I used it a few years ago for usage based billing.

There are active projects that I would categorize as frameworks (e.g. Fulcro)

This is one of the reasons that I usually use https://killbill.io/

> Now that they are open sourcing even Delta table optimizations Has Databricks recently open sourced additional Delta table features that were previously only available with a pai…
