Only ways to rise in a UBI society where AI is supposed to replace intellectual work is crime and prostitution. Smart people who want better lives than the average will have to get into crime.

From a cursory search, this woman looks credentialed and worked at many FAANGs. How can someone with that pedigree not understand a prompt isn't 100% followed to the letter? Maybe the emails weren't worth it? I have little to both

People don't understand exceptional control flow. They think they have to catch them at every point, instead of using them as intended (having a central boundary of error handling where you have enough context whether to retry or abort

I want to ignore Naysayers in the thread but even SOTA LLMs write boilerplate like it is Go 1.14. I have to constantly nudge it to use newer language features properly, even if it's also in my rules/ CLAUDE md files.

Oh it is not returning full tool schema. You can't cut down that much by serialisation alone.

I am not going to trust a single number thrown by these AI hustlers written in that salesman voice. Leave alone 97%. > Your agent calls 20 tools. Each returns 500-3,000 tokens wrapped in {"content":[{"type":"text

I presume they organized some cringe dances and cultural programme when GP visited, which might have led the GP to conclude that these people live great WLB.

No, they're just trained to impress the C-suite motherfuggers with dense vocab.

That makes it sound like a PM problem. The hardest part is building the mental model which doesn't crumble. I have worked with humans who had the same failure modes as LLMs.

Native compilation which is fast enough, green threads, AST and analysis framework, in-built testing and profiling, call graphs, rewrite tooling (go fix), go.work and modules which are far better than maven / gradle mess. There's

To add, less articulate and somewhat overtly anti-intellectual. Why even learn something when you can ask the slot machine?

It's always hyping up something and throwing punch lines in every sentence. Normies love this shit.

A (lexically-scoped) defer is a more general than a finally block. You can express finally-block semantics using defer. It's also more exception-safe when you have more than one throwing call in the try block.

Map/Filter/Reduce is a bad example for an imperative language. But look at slices and maps packages, or the new proposal for container types. There are many good examples how generics are like salt to food. Another example is erro

Sure it's a bad example. But you can't simplify something like this without losing type safety: SortBy[T, K comparable](slice: []T, key: func (T) K)

That makes it even more interesting. There are now two possibilities. 1. Most business leaders have quietly turned "anti-woke" because of the performative and loud rhetoric, and DHH considered this before publicly airing his posi
