Glonzo would’ve won.

Eh eventually it’ll stop being remarkable and just be technology that everyone takes for granted like electricity.

How bad could it …

Better or worse than 3 separate title cards that are all the same person?

Men who are anti-trans pretending to be protecting women are so disgusting. If my womanhood needs protection, I'll make my own argument about it. Buzz the fuck off with your help.

The thing is a lot of the problems with them seem to be come down to under specification or lack of sufficient context, so I have some starter prompts that give it background info and it behaves much better with that guidance.

Often it’s scope (private, or concurrency stuff) but once it sees the errors it can usually handle them on its own.

Opus is even more capable but not directly integrated and uses up way more quota.

I haven’t gone full Claude code agentic mode but I’m getting there.

I’ve mostly used Claude and lately the integrated into Xcode version. (Sonnet)

Generally a write a basic outline -> have it read that and ask me questions -> answer the questions and it updates the design 🔁 a few times, then implement.

Sometimes has compile errors but those tend to be easy.

Also, replacing outsourcing with agents, leading to disruption of those jobs elsewhere and similarly eating the future senior dev track.
February 14, 2026 at 2:30 AM
That may be true if it can only code, but they also help in the design stage if you’re using them most effectively.

I don’t think it’ll obsolete developers, I think a potential issue is it making dumb corps even more resistant to junior devs and thus killing the pipeline to make senior devs.

You’ve just described both the software QA work I’ve done working with QA teams and also how you actually build something with coding agents. It’s a highly iterative process, if people are out there trying to one shot a program with a single prompt they aren’t going to make anything useful.
February 14, 2026 at 1:21 AM
What?

That’s the thing it’s maybe the best at.
February 14, 2026 at 1:19 AM
It’s the same QA as with all code, though. Doesn’t matter if it was written by a person, in house, outsourced, open source, etc. It doesn’t need anything new.

If you’re letting the model do the QA for the model you’re gonna have problems though.

To be fair that is 140% of current software development.
February 14, 2026 at 12:54 AM
This is the same issue as with media companies that think they can pivot to fully generated media. Why would anyone pay them for that, when they could just make their own?

It’s a self-annihilating business plan. The worst case scenario for them is if they’re right.

As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but...

The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

Any glow in the dark?

He got the spirit he just needs to work on the technique.

Time to bring back the original meaning of “outlaw”.

Hey people still have favorite pens and inks and paper even if there’s no practical use for it. ;)

It’s nominally open source and I like the design but everyone is gonna think of it as “the iOS language” for a long time if not always.

I don’t know shit about golang so I can’t compare, it just seems logically you want the language to enforce as much as you can at the compiler level.
February 13, 2026 at 8:39 PM
Seems to me that Rust’s stringent type safety would be a boon to test driven development and thus agents.

I know I appreciate a similar level of “fail in the compiler as much as possible” in Swift but only a crazy person would use that for backend.
