This is why we need interviews to filter off people who are bad enough to think "bar exam" is the right abstraction for software engineer.

The real solution is stop proposing solutions like a bar exam. Software engineering evolves too quickly for anything but a work sample to work.

It heavily discourages bot farming, which is what makes bots economical.

This is pretty much my writing with some edits around content I wanted to simplify. The article linked is not the same content at all. Not only does it only focus on the American perspective, it propo…

Really it was not the issue that Opus could not do all these, there was just no incentive to fix bugs. Mythos represented a real marketing use case, so yes thanks for spending money to fix this, but t…

Really the problem boils down to: “I don’t want to maintain a custom fork with my fix” - valid sure, if you are not sure if your fix is the best solution for it, and would like the general community t…
