You can just do things. Ex-Disney principal engineer, new founder. High energy, biased toward action. Start your business, balance it with wellness and family.

Code is a deterministic artifact of non-deterministic cognition. https://t.co/wt0bMIhydL

@shafu0x It’s not what you know it’s what you don’t know.

@thepanta82 I wonder if languages that have a longer tradition of same-name parameter type overloading don’t have this happen as often - this seems like one of those very JavaScript antipatterns.

@dhh Good morning! Welcome!

@ClassicGamerTWR I have yet to see a genuine improvement, I think is what I'm getting at. Take the original iOS perspective on filesystem management, for example. Photos, the Photo Library, Cloud Photos, etc.

[Shea Rial @sheatrevor]

@oleg_deezus Yes! And interestingly some programming languages encode and retain more intent than others.

@zby Agreed! LLMs are perfectly deterministic. The 'non-determinism' we experience with them in practice are downstream of subtle changes to inputs and intentionally seeded RNG. Calling them 'non-deterministic' is an imprecise simplification. I'm open to suggestions on this!

@marcsh @ClassicGamerTWR Hello Marc!

@ryanlrlr That’s the other big benefit!

Code is a dialect for machines and humans to ensure they’re on the same page about a solution.

@dshaw Distributed Bazel build. I can even help you set it up: https://t.co/m2641qQGWd

@ClassicGamerTWR Means a lot coming from you! Appreciate it.

@eulerfx That’s the nice thing about abstraction - you can author layers that increase the outer density as you see fit.

I have so many good things to say. I’m so great at this platform. Follow me now.

@rikiyatakehi @a1zhang @lateinteraction @jayden_teoh_ We’re saying it’s doing this through purely static analysis?

@kunal_twts Screen readers are a pretty good agent API.

@ID_AA_Carmack I just wrote an article along these lines but honestly the 'alien organization of code' is probably not the case - our existing notion of software libraries is probably pretty close to spot-on: https://t.co/rpjMLe15yG

@Denche2005 just wait until organizations realize what every engineer having 10x output means for $$$
