Mañana durante el #CÓDIGOFEST de @codigofacilito, @HectorIP y yo hablaremos sobre si deberíamos seguir leyendo y escribiendo código, o esa tarea debería ser totalmente de los agentes.

There will never be a formal proof method that ensures a program behaviour matches what’s in your head

“We’ve patched every single vulnerability, we don’t understand why we’re still getting breached?”

everyone that uses more tokens than me is just shipping slop and everyone that uses fewer is ngmi

People romanticize pre-agentic programming like spending years memorizing APIs, fighting build systems and manually gluing together libraries wasn't a soul-crushing waste of human potential.

AI makes infinite software possible: if you want something to be different, you simply ask. Would you like your grocery list to be sorted by aisle? Ask. For programmers, that’s a massive reduction in friction. For non-programmers, it’s a revelation.

It’s kinda crazy to me that we melt sand down, clean it to 99.99999% purity, literal wizards have to draw it slowly into an ingot, we cut it, inscribe a hundred billion little on/off switches on it, and when you run electric current through it you can do basic arithmetic, which when you do enough of it can do any math on the planet, and which describes reality well enough that we can teach it the ontological meaning of words and their distance from each other on a high-dimensional space, and if you ask, it can tell you what word comes next and that apparently is powerful enough that if you do it a hundred billion times it’s the smartest thing to ever exist
oh yeah and we use this primarily for email

Programmers, engineers, and mathematicians who hate AI loved solving puzzles not problems.

I'm old enough to remember when 'C++ slop' was the battle cry of 'real' coders.
Then it was 'Unity slop' and 'Unreal slop' from those who thought hand-rolled engines were superior in every way.
Now it's AI slop.
People draw a line on the abstraction hierarchy below which they are happy to automate the tedium. The line just moved... that's all.
Skilled people will still make superior software. We have been inundated with low quality slop since the birth of digital distribution decades ago. It's nothing new.

Llevamos décadas construyendo software con código mediocre, bugs ancestrales, hacks sobre hacks, tests a medias, TODOs olvidados, parches temporales que se volvieron permanentes y código que nadie se atreve a tocar.
Y ahora resulta que nos preocupa confiar en código que no entendemos porque lo escribió una IA.
Como si lleváramos décadas entendiendo perfectamente el código que escribimos nosotros.

Amazing how quickly we went from "oh no LLMs are going to flood the Internet with insecure code" to "oh no LLMs have discovered the internet was already flooded with insecure code"
