Thank you for the Archunit recommendation, that library looks incredibly useful in this modern, agent driven world.

Where does the secret sauce show up in the outputs, then? Like, (apart from tone), I find it hard to distinguish between the outputs of GPT/Claude/Kimi/GLM recently (I use cursor, and have been giving them the same prompt and

I'm not really convinced that there's much secret sauce here, all the methods and data are public, the only real difference is how much compute it takes.

My friend, this is how lots and lots of EU regulations work. See GDOR, the AI act and probably a bunch of others. This is the kind of stuff that's in Draghis report, and it's economically equivalent to tariffs.

by disgruntledphd2 19d ago
This happens in lots of cases, the AI act is another example. It's literally in the top ten stupidest things that the EU has done, and the EU has done a lot of stupid things. Note that I am an EU citizen who's committed to the EU

I've recently moved to a company that uses Cursor, and I'm actually quite fond of it. I basically never use the editor but the fact that there's a review UI for all the agent work is incredibly helpful. For me, that makes the
