<p>It would be naive to think that someone is doing this “to” those companies. They are not children, and they know exactly what they’re doing. They’ve repeatedly used the strategy of telling everyone how their models are too powerful to release to the public, shortly before launch. This is just another flavor of the same thing.</p>

<p>Israel this Israel that... Not a word about how the US is in this adventure to get a grip on oil and gas shipments to China. This is just another move in the bigger play of curtailing China’s influence.<p>Another’s benefit to the US is that many consumers of Arab oil now has to sign years long contracts to buy oil from the US.<p>But sure, it’s Israel.<p>Edit: see US’s recent moves in the straight of Malaka and Gibraltar.</p>

<p>> In some sense, all programming is boilerplate expansion because computers have (until now) been unable to be programmed with anything approaching natural language.<p>Maybe sometimes, but not always. When you need to actually render the thing you have all kinds of micro decisions, like where to put the square, what color, how fast it spins, etc.<p>You might not care about the details, but maybe you do. If it spins at 10000 rpm, will you care then?<p>Natural language, and human communication in general, is ambiguous, and coding is in great part about disambiguation.<p>Sure, you can use English to disambiguate as much as needed, but wouldn’t you then end up with some yaml-like spec that wasn’t much easier to create in the first place?</p>

<p>I’m sure there are many of those, but like everything, there are tiers. I’m sure we’ll get something similar in SWE, but my hope is that you’ll still be able to choose to be a high tier engineer if you wanted to</p>

<p>People, sometimes weirdly called by their animal name, humans, do have memories of their thought process. We can reach back to those memories to explain why we made a decision. Sometimes we don’t remember and speculate instead. Most of the time we can tell the difference</p>

<p>In my experience it’s impossible to foresee all the micro decisions that reality will demand. IMO it’s one reason to not use waterfall, which is very similar to what you described</p>

<p>Claude won’t tell you why it did something. Instead, it will generate a probable explanation. The two are very different</p>

<p>Yes you can. Sometimes it’ll find them, sometimes it won’t.<p>I find myself having to use Claude to untangle its own mess piece by piece, a as it charged full steam ahead with the design we made together. However, not everything can be foreseen in a design, unless you go full waterfall. Sometimes I find myself in front of a mountain of bad abstractions stemming from a subtle oversight in the design. Before AI coding, I would find details while coding and catch them in time before they became sinful abominations</p>

<p>Your vouching for centralization of knowledge, and even understanding, which I think is a very bad idea. It’s not like the rest of us are becoming specialized at something else - knowledge, in the broad sense, is the foundation of all skills. Without it we have nothing to contribute</p>
