Isn't having something that can solve general problems based on prior art without the requisite effort in learning the prior art completely antithetical to education in general? Not saying they aren't useful tools, but asking a an AI to write bubble sort isn't learning bubble sort? The point was never to write bubbles sort it was to learn how and why.
We are capped by testing and PR review. The junior devs can spam out a million PRs a day but we keep having production incidents from not carefully scrutinising the changes. So the speed of code generation is limited by how fast we can actually accept those diffs.
Production incidents from not carefully scrutinizing changes is a sign that someone more senior should be putting infrastructure in place to minimize the impact of those incidents.
Feature flags, staggered rollouts, quick rollbacks, smoke testing, etc.
Sure, if you were hand managing every rollout up until now, and relied primarily on unit tests, you’re in for a world of hurt when you give a junior engineer Claude code and let em rip.
But if you have more advanced systems to measure and maintain overall service health, and codify your business logic invariants, you can really start flying these days as long as you’re all aligned on what to build and the potential impact.
I agree, with a big tech deployment process this would be less impactful. But getting from a company used to manual testing and weekly deployments to a fully automated CD pipeline is more work than a single Claude prompt.
Unironically you should be using claude for monitoring and within CI. "PRs causing bottleneck" is an anti pattern during AI. It is as easy to verify as it is to generate.
That was always the issue... Rewrites were done before LLMs and the results were the same... There was never a point in time where the bottleneck was production of code, it was always review, testing, QA, fixing bugs and edge cases, and that is when only focusing on the technical part of delivery, and leaving out communication and synchronisation within the company and between company and clients...
That strongly depends on context. In larger organisations, this is definitely the case. For smaller startups and teams then the overhead is much smaller and the actual core programming work is much more of a bottleneck.
Sometime in the last 15 years we got these huge backlog wishlists of one line thoughts. People were convinced because software devs couldn't keep up translating one line thoughts into working software that the code must be the bottleneck
They never realized how much effort went into turning those one like tickets into code was, and the code was the least part of the effort
Yeah, I don't care what the social media account manager's crisis management position is, I care about the direction the company is being steered in and the person doing the steering.
I mean, some of the richest most influential people of our time are operating from a handful of science fiction books. Star trek is at least tonally more humanitarian than Snow Crash.
People need to see their lives improve materially within a reasonable period of time before they will trust politics again I would wager. I don't think people aren't voting due to apathy, they aren't voting because they don't trust the system.
You're describing Russia, not America. In America voter turnout is at record highs, people are protesting loud and visibly, and "Flock camera" is a cultural byword for oppressive dragnet surveillance.
I don't think people have connected the dots between Flock and Ring yet, but it's only a matter of time.
from the article, it seems they only got charged bc they filmed the act and published it? so it wasn't any hype and they could actually easily vote illegaly?
Depends on how you frame it I suppose. If your experience is that every candidate in the last 20+ years has been a different flavor of awful for the average jane you could say it's zen-like acceptance.
And the person making my coffee picked their nose three minutes before hand, my food is covered in various feces picked up during transportation, etc, etc. Life is accepting that reality is messy without giving up food, treats, or democracy.
Ahh yes, we just accept the rich get richer. They have all the money and therefore are gods chosen people. How about we cook them in ovens :) see how long they last claiming their system is the best. Maybe we could brand a few with usery across their foreheads.
Lol the real problem is the duopoly. Ah this republican sucks i have to vote democrat ah this democrat wants to allow sexually deviant teachers to castrate my children and then call cps if i object so ig i have to vote republican. Ah this republican wants to make everything illegal to fill their private prisons for more slave labor. Ig ill vote democrat.
When you have two choices and the rich decide what those choices are they will always ensure than half the population hates one of the choices and the other half hate the other one and then you vote based on which candidate you hate the least which means the rich always get what they want and you always get screwed.
If you ever want anything to change then you need to treat both parties like the parasitic treasonous scum that they are and make it clear to all americans that anyone who puts a party before their nation is a traitor.
Then you vote for actual people, not a party, not whoever your favorite celebrity was paid to endorse.
IF YOU WANT TO VOTE, FIRST YOU LEARN THE CANDIDATES, THEN YOU LEARN THE POLICIES THEY PROPOSE, THEN YOU CHALLENGE THOSE POLICIES WITH THE BEST STEELMAN YOU CAN FIND.
only then should you even consider voting. But thats way too much responsibility for americans. They prefer to be given a binary choice, heads or tails their both the same except one fucks you left the other fucks you right, unless you happen to belong to the class of people that own the politicians in which case you dont actually care which way the election goes because you paid both sides so you win no matter what.
