<p>and once you've got your wish: ugly code without tests or a way to comprehend it, but cheap!<p>How much value are you going to be able to extract over its lifetime once your customers want to see some additional features or improvements?<p>How much expensive maintenance burden are you incurring once any change (human or LLM generated) is likely to introduce bugs you have no better way of identifying than shipping to your paying customers?<p>Maybe LLM+tooling is going to get there with producing a comprehensible and well tested system but my anectodal experience is not promising. I find that AI is great until you hit its limit on a topic and then it will merrily generate tokens in a loop suggesting the same won't-work-fix forever.</p>

<p>Simplistic tenant isolation and cost tracking :-)<p>I know there are other solutions to this particular problem but this model is extremely easy to reason about. When the application accesses tenant objects or delegates that access with pre-signed URLs it is doing so with ephemeral credentials that literally could not access the objects in another tenancy.<p>That and a similar DB isolation, allows most of our handlers to be very simple as far as tenant isolation goes.</p>

<p>We were saved by the bell when they announced the increased account limit for S3 buckets (1M buckets, now, 1k I think before).<p>Just before they announced that I was working on creating org accounts specifically to contain S3 buckets and then permitting the primary app to use those accounts just for their bucket allocation.<p>AWS themselves recommend an account per developer, IIRC.<p>It's as you say, some policy or limitation might require lots of accounts and <i>lots</i> of accounts can be pretty challenging to manage.</p>

<p>My point is that this is either a bearer token (in which case it will be obtainable by proxy) or tied to your identity.<p>What is the incentive for the citizen to make sure their authentication isn't shared?</p>

<p>I'd sooner see a more practical solution that works on the roads and cars we already have.<p>Aggressively limit speed <i>and</i> enforce it until you're onto the fast roads.<p>If cars could only roll on at 10mph I'd feel a lot safer and I'd probably be able to use my bike and make better time for the local stuff.</p>

<p>> It’s common to rack up 4 hours or more of screen time a day on your phone. Here’s one way to see the cost of that: every 20 years, you lose 5 years of your waking time looking at your phone.<p>If you spend 4 hours/24 hours on your phone then every 20X you'll have lost 3.33... X.<p>I <i>think</i> the author is using year and waking-years but it doesn't parse well for me because you don't get close to 20 waking-years for every 20 years.</p>

<p>Is it? I remain unconvinced AI will replace Devs in the foreseeable but I don't think this article is passing comment one way or the other.<p>The way I read it TFA is claiming that the Devs who built the Natascha AI suite did solid work.<p>Contrary to prior reporting there really was an LLM based product at Builder in addition to their earlier business of a large pool of contractors cranking out apps on demand.</p>

<p>Nobody can find my house (UK), it is somewhat unusual in that it pre-dates the neighbours and so shares a postcode and road name with the main road not the cul-de-sac it is now situated in. It also has no house number.<p>Google knows there is a building here (there is a dotted outline on the map) and that it doesn't know the address (if I drop a pin on the building I get a button "Add Address Address may not be up to date")<p>We've clicked that button a few times over the years and received an email telling us the new address has been submitted for review but that is the end of what we hear from Google.<p>IIRC Apple maps does return the correct location if you search for our address.<p>So, this is my bat signal! Is there anything I can do?</p>
