Sure, if you do that second part of verifying it. If you just get the LLM to spit it out then yolo it into production it is going to make you sad at some point.

Can I humbly suggest that you dig that letter out and get it framed? Random pieces of paper tend to go astray during moves and clear-outs; framed items less so. Thanks for the nice anecdote.

Well, the "accidentally making the S3 bucket public" scenario would be a good one. If you review carefully with full understanding of what e.g. all your policies are doing then great, no pro…

This could not possibly go wrong... You're braver than me if you're willing to trust the LLM here - fine if you're ready to properly review all the relevant docs once you have code in h…

The Sinclair QL was a 68k machine, not an 8-bit (and famously what Linus Torvalds had before he got a 386 based PC). Edit: 8-bit data bus though, which I didn't know until reading up on the Motor…

Speaking for myself I'm static or death, BUT I can see how one might come away scarred from C++ and conflate static with the wild degree of ceremony and clunky tooling. Nowadays the better static…

Plausible, yes. Most of my cohort are fans of the late Humph & the gang. Barry Cryer, of course, wrote for a lot of other comedians so gags often originate from or propagate via him

I'm fairly sure I heard a version of this pre-2000 about someone opening a cheese shop called "Cheeses of Nazareth" :) Sadly it was verbal so I don't know the exact provenance, but…

High tide is around a third (like the other day with the new tlChatGPT release) but it's mostly down around the current level. I knocked this together to explore just this thought: hntags.com

Essentially off-topic but while that's my perception too, actually there are only 3 out of 30 front page stories on AI at the current time, so it's more like 10% It's definitely the mos…
