From a Casey m podcast I think of agentic driven software dev as code extrusion. I guide and massage the steady output of content

They drove up to my house with a dump truck full of money... Im not made of stone!

I have a hard time believing that Canada would ever get parts of the US if America broke this. Even if the signed document included unambiguous promises written in the verified DNA of a famous American president or other extravagances

if you've ever watched the wire (season 1 2002) you will know that burner phones were very much a thing.

Slick and self aware. Looks good

Codex pushed an update that made my old threads inaccessible. This takes a million of lines to put out a half baked crud app?

If you believe AI is so incredibly useful.. then actually you should be happy to reap the advantages of it whilst the "anti" crowd buried their heads in the sand. I have seen people on this forum unironically ask what AI can't do. As if they have genuinely tried yet failed to plumb the depths of its ability. If I had a genie in a bottle then I would simply make wishes and not worry about correcting the record. Whereas if people are using a broke genie to create slop that inconveniences me I'd be upset. So a better question is.. if you there is nothing this genie can't do why aren't you quietly churning out masterpieces

Because the 'masterpiece' requires imagination.

Writing more lines of code at a higher rate does not make any contribution toward improving imagination. maybe you can have more attempts in life and something may land? maybe. but you'll always get beaten by someone with imagination eventually - given technology compresses life cycles your app may no longer have any demand within 12 months of being shipped.


lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater

I think we need more babies. I would be ecstatic to pay for an alternative source of national US journalism that actually has some analysis and decent writing. NYT is a shadow of its former self, apnews reads to me like USnews. international helps round it out, but it's not super in depth for the US.

The NYT is not a baby. At _best_ they're a pail of dirt that occasionally has some flecks of gold mixed in with the mud.

Only thing business understand is money. And they should be punished for their past malicious actions. Maybe in 100 or 200 years we might consider some forgiveness.

the tooling has quite a ways to go to catch up to the llm engines that drive the real value. I have encountered various codex bugs (I know not anthropic) which tell me that.. these billion dollar companies, if they are eating their own dog food, can still release buggy crap software.

This made me think of a game like fallout where a surviving llm is treated like some kind of indecipherable oracle left over from the ancients. And then as humanity recovers someone finally looks under the hood of the Oracle to discover there is no great magic

In fallout it would turn out to be a human brain kept artificially alive… or if were going with canon a hapless fellow who falls into fev and morphs with a computer…

Not too rule your addition outright in future installments.
