I'm going to assume you are a product manager, or someone who does not do the actual software development. The place where you draw the line of abstraction, is what I'm basing that assumption on. The reason why a PO can explain something in English, and you get something useful out at the other end (of the developer), is because of a myriad of other decisions you don't see. The reason why some software systems end up…

Your assumption is mistaken (and a little rude). I love programming. It's in my blood: my father and grandfather were programmers too. I have written everything from SIMD assembly to Hoon, and implemented several languages of my own. Believe me, I am intimately familiar with the phenomenon you are describing. It's true, the devil is in the details. And I will grudgingly concede that, at present, humans are better at…

The peak comedy of it all is watching people like Karpathy publish "skills" that read like psychoanalysis, just offering basic verbal instructions with a completely straight face...

You’re right. As the only staff engineer at my company every time I see yet another slop PR from an offshore developer that is just a “one shot” from Claude I just want to end it all. I’m one engineer that needs to maintain a half a million line codebase (and growing!) and review all of these PRs that are generated at the speed of slop by people in another country that do not give a single f*ck. There’s one of me and…

You should be the one driving Claude instead.

If the offshores need PR review then they're literally adding no value at all.

If you're wasting time reading slop PRs then you're also adding no value.

Until recently I thought "load-bearing seam" was a satirical exaggeration - I'd seen both claudisms independently but never combined. But a couple of days ago it hit me with "The key structural point first: the only load-bearing seam is [...]"

Fable has a Chomsky grammar.

Hello, completely hijacking your recent comment because I found no other way to contact you.

You wrote a month ago that you were close to releasing something called "nix-compile", how is it going ?
