“Parse don’t validate“ seems like the same idea

You do not need Haskell for that eg it works in Python (via pydantic, attrs data classes)

What part of the reply is not factually correct? (premium gold+ open access article for $50000?)

You are called terrorist only until you win then you are a freedom fighter.

You even may be called freedom fighter from the start if you are trying to displace government in the right country. There are plenty of examples.

> how our brain construct

is the only part i.e., we perceive what brain predicts no more no less. Optical illusions demonstrate it well.

Sometimes that prediction (our perception) correlates with the light reaching the retina. But it is a mistake to think that we can perceive it directly. For example, we do not see the black hole in our field of vision where there are no receptors (due to our eyes construction).

Another example that makes the point clearer: there are no "wetness" receptors at all but we perceive wetness just fine.

Trying to compress the code may be a proxy for the complexity metric

To get perspective(we know what worked), here’s some 50+ years abstractions:

A file is a simple stream of bytes in Unix. (If you think what else it might be then compare to Multics’ segments). Separate processes that may be connected using simple standard I/O streams [pipe] (vs everything is DLL in Multics) — the concept of shell itself (policy vs. mechanism separation http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch01s06.html ).

For comparison, you need a new app on iOS for what might have been a shell pipeline (hierarchical file system is absent at user level).

The downfall was long before ChatGPT (personally, I’d burnt out answering the same questions again and again) https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#g...

The stackoverflow was better than what was before it (*sexchange site). Time will tell how it compares to the AI slop of the dead internet (current generation of LLMs based on human-generated data are great. Let’s see what happens when most of the data is created by bots).

I don't get how camp 1 can ship more than one version (do they jump teams/companies each time?). If your code is immovable mess then how do you add features/fix bugs in time?

There is a considerable overlap between people who believe that a reality tv personality has real power and those who believe that reality tv is unscripted.
