Yes. It is similar to the military saying that, "cemetry is full of indespensible people." We think the company won't thrive without us, but flow of life finds a way to do without it. This realization can be good or bad depen

One great opportunity is for expert-developers to push the boundary of better algorithms or libraries. No one rolls out their own cryptographic library, majority problems faced in our systems are common. If that common problem is solved onc

Another question is would a future world require so much code that we turn code generation into a service itself. Perhaps an analogy will help. e.g. do we use our lawnmowers 24x7? I understand we will have far more code in future but curren

Nothing wrong in that. But in research we have a thing called survey the already existing literature on the problem and checking what worked or didn't. If you want to learn by doing mistakes of your own, be my guest. Just know that it

Yes it could just simply be a syntactic sugar for a complex operation taking in 4 numbers. But this reminds me of Mirror Symmetry between two theories in String Theory where complex calculations in one theory gets mapped to simple calculati

I also liked the one on lambda calculus. I hope one day we will be able to find interpretation of what it actually means for PLUS Times Plus. Maybe this is how we will explore nonstandard arithmetic. What is PLUS times PLUS? https:/&#

This is like blaming a knife as being a killer weapon. Social media is inherently good if owners of the platforms allow for good interactions to take place. But given the mismatch between incentives alignment, we don't have nice things
