Coding just a stage in the software development. Design and specifications which can help in coding is not solved at all and may never - the end result is software reliability is not a solved problem.

Excellent read! We were talking about the effects of AI Psychosis on companies. It looks like people have a misconceived notion that now work can be done 90% faster and they are attempting to literally get rid of 90% of the engineers. The end result, no one left with do the work - especially when an edge case/disaster strikes or the customer wants something different.

Is their CI and CD workflow robust like gitlab/github ?

Same experience. It took minutes to find the API key from the console.

Now following up with Google support team without luck to find the logs. Prompts send to the model and the responses including the thinking was available in the ai studio. But it’s unclear where to find the same in console.

To make matters worse there is vertex api and rebranded to Gemini something and making it very confusing.

They have support for long format and the industry is already attempting long shots with Seedance 2.0 which cannot be efficiently done without drift in other leading models like Kling.

Happy to see an open weight model ! This has all the right ingredients for success.

Thank you! Jetstream looks useful. For a platform which is production our Redis costs are getting prohibitively high. I was on the look for alternatives and perhaps in the software reliability tool [0] I am buildin try out Jetstream.

Wow!

I have a stupid question - as I understand NATS works very well as a “message” pipe/bus. Anyway to get Redis type cache functionality as well ? Is it something possible ?

We are in the same decision making stage and trying to choose between rabitMQ, Kafka, NATS and some solutions built on top of Redis.

Did NATS eventually worked well?

Not sure whether this is the right step. Rather steps must be taken to ensure reliability of the software irrespective of whether it’s “written” or “generated”. The code generation based on “rules” is not new after all.

The leader boards based on token usage happened in our org for a month. Then we managed to convince the board that what matters is the reliable software shipped. Now we are back to DORA metrics.

How to prove this is indeed the system prompt against a certain timestamp (in the past ) ?

Very useful. The whisper setup is something similar to what we have been using. The LLM setup though is outstanding.

I assume your idea is, if the spec and the proof is verified the code generated is good enough as well ?
