Yet Another Toxic Effect of mandatory llm workflows is even when you have juniors they learn nothing. If the slop came from a junior's brain it means they grappled with the problem and took a huge step forward in learning. You work with that person to cut it down to something small and clean, the next time around they get better, everyone's a winner. Now, zippo, nothing. Praise doesn't make sense and review is a farce.

This is trivially true to the point of being insulting, when you take on a dependency you are stuck with the people and culture for the life of your project. Doesn't seem worth saying but then people get all surprised when it happens to them.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange Every place I've worked there have always been really good people at the dev level. I have never seen a bug-ridden feature or downtime due to the incompetence of any one dev, or even a team. Most of the time we were saddled with error prone technology and those in charge ignored the warnings.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com Fair enough but from my own experimentation I've found that avoiding certain type system features does not result in a significantly faster compile cycle. Except type families, it's night and day.

There's still this long running myth that Haskell is slow to compile because of fancy types. Haskell _is_ slow to compile but that's because it generates gigabytes of IR. Don't believe me? Monitor your tmp folder during a compile cycle. Still don't believe me? Have GHC do a dry run. This has unfortunately lead to a ton of languages that proclaim fast compile times because of "simple" types which is at best a correlation when the real lesson is to keep generated code as tight as possible.

Devs are getting a taste of what it's been like for customer support and QA test teams for decades and the hand wringing is kind of hilarious ...

You may remember testers and support folk as the only people at the company who knew how your software actually worked.

@lojikil@mastodon.social But is it useful to separate the two? As an example from my own experiences with typed langs, on the one hand, yes, they do eliminate errors in a robust way in some cases, but on the other they're a royal PITA so people just go with Python and I can't blame them.

Lots of anti ai articles nowadays talking about how we are forgetting how to code like Romans losing their recipe for setting concrete underwater or something ...

But, like, we never knew?

This is a painful but golden opportunity for a complete reset.

There is an implicit assumption in this comment that any process that filters out the Jeff Dean archetype is bad and it's far from clear to me that it is.

The real takeaway here is that while the data breach is bad the parts of the system that would destroy the company legally if breached were well isolated and kept humming along.

So we absolutely know how to secure software but don't.
