> There seems to be more thought going into what the technology can do and what can be added than the form it should take.

Yes, it looks like people've choosen chat interface. They don't like filling forms.

> Individuals work with agents to produce changes independently, each operating a small software factory. Each change might make sense on its own, but together they start to resemble Frankenstein’s monster rather than a carefully shaped sculpture.

Before agents people do the same and our code bases not perfect.

Behind software not only creator, it's people who interested in and users. To make software creator needs a factory.

> Making software is getting easier.

Nope, cuz we have a lot of Frankensteins and chat interface

Yes, but you have sentences started with "I ..." about 47 times. So i decided that you wrote about yourself.

I don't understand the take about "programming is a way to make money". Programs cannot pay to you.

I think you should clarify what you're talking about: art, programming, or money. Because these are three different systems.

If you talk about money show me the numbers. If talk about code show me the code. If you talk about art show me the art.

And this answer of yours seems even more suspicious to me.

I don't quite understand you, sometimes you contradict one of your points of view, sometimes another.

This author made this post to counter his other point of view on "Why do developers write continuation code by hand?"

I've been suspicious of this for about a year now.

Art is a system. And programming is a system too. They are different systems.

So, what have you been doing for the last 10 years and why i see only 2026 in your github?

No, this note is another declaration without exact explanation. If you have real bugs you should send a bug report, that's all.

Maybe you should start from bug report without LLM-slop?

If you understand Postgres's problems so well (though in reality, such problems can occur in many applications, and it's unclear how your rewritten version attempts to solve them), then why not address them in the main branch by becoming a contributor. Less code and more value.

I'm sick of the fact that every techno-nerd (including me) can create a new level of abstraction, the integrity of which will be proven with foam at the mouth by other people.

Skill is an ability created through practice and habit. Text files have nothing to do with it - they're not skills.

Maybe from the client's point of view, although it's more likely a Tamagotchi. But from the server side, it’s more like a whole hippodrome where you need to support horse racing 24/7
