Synopsis of Shakespeare's Sonnet 4: > The poet returns to the idea of beauty as treasure that should be invested for profit. Here, the young man’s refusal to beget a child is likened to his sp…

Agreed. Overengineering and premature optimization are the root of all crud.
comment
So, your point is that programmers identify the unexpected edge cases through the act of taking their time writing the code by hand. From my experience, it takes a proficient developer to actually pla…
comment
The writeup is a bit contrived in my opinion. And sort of misrepresenting what users can do with tools like Claude Code. Most coding assistant tools are flexible to applying these kinds of workflows, …

Haven't LLMs been good at bouncing off ideas since GPT-4? Coming up with feature ideas doesn't seem to have much to do with programming power tools. But sending off a SotA LLM agent to do re…

I guess it could be generalized to filling up the context window with any token, but just making sure none of the tokens repeat. An interesting twist could be making sure a specific token is an anagra…

For anyone wondering: This is based on basic text parsing and a key-value lookup table, no AI involved whatsoever. Here's the table: https://rose.systems/animalist/lower_titl…

An influencer, who could more than likely blow 99% of us out of the water when it comes to programming by hand with absolutely no tooling, at whatever level of abstraction. Same probably applies to An…

So, what's your take on Andy Warhol, or sampling in music?

How big of a Carmack fan are you really, if you don't know one of his most well known takes on programming? (And you definitely don't need to be a fan.) Carmack has been heavily in favor of …

Care to link your sources? At least one of the studies that got attention here was basically done with a bunch of programmers who had no prior experience with the tools.

Shadcn most likely contains a lot of LLM generated code. Isn't it owned by Vercel these days?
comment
I'd say that it's a different type of learning process, where even a good resource doesn't help as much as it would with a traditional programming language. Sort of like you can't …

10^15 lines of code is a lot . We would pretty quickly enter the realm of it not having much to do with programming and more about just treating the LOC count as an amount of memory allocated to do X…
