Instructing LLMs is like writing laws. Not in the sense of penalties and such, but still in the sense that the instructions should be correctly understood by the agents, and there shouldn't be explosions of exceptional cases and fluff.

Automated coding tools allow creating and somewhat even maintaining code in volumes which wouldn't have been possible with human labor.
So, what do we do now that the bottleneck has been removed? We can have more code. But where to put it.
It will go into one main sink, which can be called […]

As a software engineer with over 25 years of experience I am not unused to technical skills becoming obsolete.
For example, I don't need to remember Commodore 64 memory mapped control addresses anymore, and my brain still contains "POKE 53281,2"

Agent as a word means working on behalf of someone. But whose behalf?
Typical user facing agents are working on behalf of the user of course, but also they are being instructed by the organization serving the chatbot. The chatbot are also controlled by the party who […]

It's weird how consumerism has taken hold of people at a level where they say their main dreams in life are about consumption. Maybe it's about a fancy car, going to Japan, or eating Beluga caviar.
