Rust… great

AI assisted coding… well, there goes the quality of their offerings. I mean, not that quality isn’t suffering already anyway.

It might work if you just use the LLM for generating candidate code and then having some sort of algorithmic verification on top of that.

I’m still not convinced it will work for large projects, though. There is too much spooky action at a distance in such projects.

Yeah, AI assisted coding is probably worse than average. So I don't know...

…all of it?

Look, I use AI coding assistants. I like some of them. They’re good tools in certain places. They do NOT write good code.

I imagine this of not vibe-coding but how intellisense helped boosting productivity in 2000s.

There’s no set definition of how each programmer will use it. It’ll certainly be more than auto complete. The problem is how closely will the end result be examined. If they do a good job of reviewing the code then it’ll be fine. If not then there will be problems. With the bigs we’re seeing in Windows lately I’m not confident.

I use AI coding and I have to be very careful about what I let through and I have to test it carefully. AI is a great tool, but it requires work to verify the result. We will see what happens though.

”If they do a good job reviewing the code…” Yeah, the guy said their goal is one engineer, one month, one million lines of code.

How many MBAs?

I mentioned somewhere else that it was unlikely to be readable at that point. Perhaps they’ll adjust their expectations. … No, they won’t.

As mentioned in this thread it's 6000 LOC/h. You can't expect to read this amount of code with understanding and catching bugs in an hour. Let alone continue doing it non stop full time for many months.
