  • A task that might have taken five hours assisted by AI, and perhaps ten hours without it, is now more commonly taking seven or eight hours, or even longer.

    What kind of work do they do?

    in my role as CEO of Carrington Labs, a provider of predictive-analytics risk models for lenders. My team has a sandbox where we create, deploy, and run AI-generated code without a human in the loop. We use them to extract useful features for model construction, a natural-selection approach to feature development.

    I wonder what I have to imagine this is doing and how. How do they interface with the loop-without-a-human?

    Either way, they do seem to have a (small, narrow) systematic test case and the product variance to be useful at least anecdotally/for a sample case.

    Did you remove your earlier post from two or three days ago? https://programming.dev/post/43579392

    I posted a comment there, but looks like what I was asking about is no longer part of the post or repo readme this time around.

    While trying to determine whether this is that I noticed you wrote “566 pages of theory” but then 573-page manuscript. I assume it became more pages, or are they different things?


  • Without understanding how it’s built, how do I know if there’s duplication, dead code, or poor patterns? I used to obsess over this. Now I’m less worried that a human needs to read the code, because I’m genuinely not sure that they do.

    What you do need: simple entry points, explicit code with fewer abstractions, minimal coupling, and linear control flow.

    Seems to be the common simple standard software works well fallacy.

    By “can replace developers”, what do they mean? They don’t clarify, only talk about their three success projects.

    We’ve seen studies of the issues and risks, and discrepancy between user perception and more factual gains. And this post certainly seems like they’re not experienced in or thinking of development and maintenance that goes beyond simple standard integration software. Which doesn’t make it too surprising they’re not concerned about security for those simpler projects either.

    I’ve been using GNU Cash for many years.

    The UI is kinda bad, way too complex, and the banking API integration is cumbersome and lacking.

    That’s all negatives, and it sounds pretty bad, but it’s still my banking app.

    Modern websites no longer fit the document-centric model HTML was created for. A typical news homepage mixes headlines, images, teasers, and interactive elements in ways the original spec never anticipated. The New York Times even present teasers without headlines at all. This diversity shows how little shared foundation there is for developers today – and why HTML needs a broader, more coordinated evolution beyond isolated improvements.

    Aren’t such cases already covered? I don’t see the issue or alternative.
