However my point is more from a SOLID perspective duck typing and minimal dependency interfaces sort of achieve similar ends... Minimal dependency and assumption by calling code.

In Go it is compile time and Python it is runtime, but it is similar.

In Python (often) you don't care about the type of v just that it implements v.write() and in an interface based separation of API concerns you declare that v.write() is provided by the interface.

The aim is the same, duck typing or interfaces. And the outcome benefits are the same, at runtime or compile time.

What happens when social discourse is polluted by noise that is identical to signal?

Is there anyone else out there?

Asking ChatGPT if breaking up with your girlfriend is a good idea or not? Terrifying. People should be using human networks of friends as a sounding board and support network.

What happens next?

How? I spent 6 months exploring React, Vue, Node, Next,...

The DX for all of them sucks. The documentation sucks. Everything is wrappers of wrappers of npm scripts of wrappers of bootstrappers of boilerplate builders of...

Seriously. The worst.

Who is accountable?

At best an LLM is a new UI model for data. The push to get them writing code is bizarre.

The real answer is... We don't know how much it is or isn't. There's little rigor in either direction.

I hope they promote tools to enable easy verification on systems external to debian build machines.

It all seems like it is for CV glory. Then the projects don't see a commit for years.

It was lucrative cleaning up shit code from Romania and India.

I'm hoping enough people churn out enough hot garbage that needs fixing now that I can jack up my day rate.

I remember when the West would have no coders because Indian coders are cheaper.

I remember when nocode solutions would replace programmers.

I remember.

As an adult I have very good visual and audio memory, as well as perfect pitch. They're not as useful as they sound.

Make of that what you will.

Free speech eh.

I also have gcc or go on my machine.

Proprietary language models are the proprietary compilers or languages of old.

As the blog post suggests, let's learn the lessons of the past.

If I can't run a tool locally (that includes 'compiling' the model from data) , it is a liability not a tool.

Even local models are like requiring proprietary firmware blobs as a programming tool.

Useful or not, this situation is not desirable.

I made good money cleaning that up.
