well summarised

TIL the python plotly library is a wrapper round a JS library of the same name

Not straightforward with projects that pre-date coding agents, which is the overwhelming majority?

I tried gram, and it was rife with bugs. Couldn’t recall the specifics. Interested in zedless, however.

The author says this knowledge can’t be extracted or transcribed, but isn’t that exactly what that senior engineer does after that hour has passed?

No. When we communicate, we’re not really communicating our knowledge or understanding, we’re communicating a crystallization of it in a form the listener might be able to learn from. The communication and the understanding are fundamentally different things. Like a map to the terrain. If they were the same, would we not be able to understand something purely by hearing it?

Hmmm, it’s C++

Not sure if it’s clear, but I’m not doing the patching - my dependency is.

Updated post to make it clearer.

Intentional Kessler syndrome?

AI boom is a poor choice of words, even though it’s intentional. And I don’t believe the article’s starting paragraph

and some jokes just aren’t funny

Does clean rooming also work the other way round? Where open source models can reverse engineer proprietary binaries, upon which one can make “clean” open source copies?

If I’d bought when you said this, things would be a little different

I’m thinking 2x32GB, tempted by more but seems excessive
