One of the problems with AI coding is that the narrative on X (and other social media platforms) is mostly set by people who don't have the deep coding and software engineering experience of the likes of Bjarne Stroustrup. Meanwhile the fundamental problems remain unaddressed: 1- AI generates super-human volumes of code 2- The code can be buggy, have security holes, be inefficient, etc. 3- The person who owns the code can be mostly unaware that such problems exist, so they won't even go after fixing them 4- The people who can actually fix the code (i.e., the software engineers who understand design, architecture, security best practices, etc.) are so overwhelmed that some of them will give up Meanwhile, AI companies are constantly pushing the narrative that you don't need to look at the code and the AI will fix everything itself. What they don't tell you is that if your code fails, you'll be held accountable, not them.

Creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup: AI-generated code isn't ready — it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate "senior developers are already retiring rather than deal with it" The problem is that even a small prompt change can shift the entire codebase in unpredictable ways

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

I don't know whether AI will replace human programmers. But I know that when you die, you will meet Dijkstra, and He will not smile upon the ungrammatical prompt that you wrote to vibe an incorrect sort function with 300 unit tests locking in the logical errors for all eternity.

Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

@humanite_fr Le Shift est vraiment la boussole qui indique le sud en matière de numérique. Il s'est planté dans les grandes largeurs sur le streaming comme sur la 5G mais il continue d'avoir du crédit chez les gens qui préfèrent qu'on leur dise ce qu'ils veulent entendre.

Le Shift tente de refaire le match des données 30 ans après, à contresens faute de comprendre quoi que ce soit au numérique, et toutes les officines décroissantes reprennent ravies, à mesure de leur mécomprehension des structures de coût y compris environementaux de la tech.

I think I finally understand what an agent is. It's a prompt (or several), skills, and tools. Did I get this right?

@gchampeau @aheritier Pour le calcul, le cartable fantastique a un plugin Word ou LibreOffice qui génère des gabarits (avec des cases, ça évite les problèmes d’alignement comme les retenues, etc)

👉Mon fils étant dysgraphique et dyspraxique, il doit utiliser un PC en cours plutôt que d'écrire à la main. C'est compliqué pour les maths et la géométrie, et on n'a trouvé aucun logiciel facile à utiliser. Donc j'ai créé une appli web dédiée : dysmaths.com (...)
