what a patronizing response. I'd be embarrassed.

exactly, and realistically if you test the crap out of a given module, you'll have a pretty damn accurate idea of how it behaves.

Yeah, by the time my thought is fully formed I've gone through an entire conversation.

Well, to be pedantic, Stardew Valley + others used MonoGame which is technically a framework but realistically does a huge amount of the work needed to develop a game engine.

Yeah, +1 on the comment verbosity. Left alone it's actually insane. I've had to setup enforcement + templates (use ASD-STE100) to keep the cruft down. I'm worried this may impact the quality of outputs though - haven't m

I'm curious, how does the context management work with event sourcing? What kind of events are you storing and how do you decide when to hydrate a new projection?

I imagine the same systems will evolve for agents as well, if nothing else because lack of trust will impact provider's bottom line.

Regardless of the benefits (of which there are a few, despite what fellow detractors may say), I am completely unwilling to submit myself to mass surveillance. Once that kind of power is obtained by the state, it will be abused. The article

I agree with your main observations, but the Costco example is a bit contrived. I expect companies to eventually figure out suitable applications for AI, and I doubt a flat subscription per seat will be one of them. Personally, I feel the m

the frustration is largely because the overall substance is quite poor since it is typically imprecise by nature.

the argument is productivity gains are increasingly driven by technological advances, which are spurred by capital investment. for example, if a company purchases software that increases their accountants productivity by 5x, should those ac

yes, but wage growth has not tracked productivity: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1X020 household expenses have been increasing without commensurate wage growth, resulting in lower savings: https://fre

2% is average. 1-1.5% is considered a slump, while anything over 2.5% is considered a boom. for instance, the post-ww2 boom (1947-1972) averaged 2.9%. at that rate of growth, a country's total output per worker doubles in roughly ~25 y

he's referring to labor productivity, e.g., the economic value produced per unit of labor input. it also _has_ changed significantly, as seen here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/OPHNFB however, unit labor cos

agree, from my POV the constraints are still there but we've optimized now. still haven't solved the core problems.

eh, they're a publishing business. choicescript is part of their business model - there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

they are forecasting $25-30B this year, so if anything they look to be neutral or even profitable.

AI usage will directly impact said margins. Moreover, for the scenario you describe, companies need to have the capability to precisely estimate the cost of a given deliverable - not something possible with current tooling + models. You&#x2

I don't know, even if AI allows two engineers to do the work of six, companies will likely just use that efficiency to expand their scope. I think we'll see short-term layoffs and a more stratified engineering field during the tra

tests are an important signal of course, but the use case you describe doesn't necessarily mean you need to follow TDD. the data suggests that creating the tests after the code is just as or even more effective, and at significantly ch

by rsalus 3mo ago
this is not really backed by any empirical evidence. there are simply more efficient means of verifying outputs than TDD.

by rsalus 3mo ago
for LLMs, TDD amounts to little more than ceremony. there is a study on this exact topic: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.07900
