and if producing a single CD copy would cost you a fortune then C-Suite business MBA morons would beg (or even mandate) you to use formal verification methods

The case against it is very simple: fixing your shit in software world is super easy - just release a patch! From a perspective of hardware world where fixing a single bug can cost you up to couple of million - we have for every code producing engineer up to 3 verification engineers that pseudo-randomly fuzz your design against all possible stimuli and collect coverage. Software world wouldnt bother because fixing shit is just so easy. If you regress to shipping golden CDs and next bugfix only via expansion packs - maybe you can get your shit together and start shipping good software again

"What range of offsets can a 16-bit instruction encode? Zero through three. Not thirty three, not three hundred and three. Three! Well, maybe it is better for storing a halfword? Nope... zero or two. What even? Why" What the fuck is this criticism? Its sanely specced, who would want arbitrary unaligned offsets, like for anything? Supporting such obscure idiot cases is too much unnecessary pain, so cut it off on spec level

yes. its a quality test. pre LLMs you could easily judge if a project was a labor of love by attention to details, like docs and README. Nowadays if even readme is sloped, what else was slop vibecoded? everything? how much effort was put in there besides 3 prompts? 5? you can never tell

pretty interesting that such lazy slop vibecoded into existence by "a software engineer passionate about well-crafted products."

"We did not choose a MUD because it is charming. We chose it because its constraints make behavior measurable." I so fucking hate these LLMisms
