@thomasfuchs I still have that book, probably bought it at the same time as you.

As to the graph, I bet the severe bug was a side effect of that branching.

@leanlearnlead I suspect that I will spend the rest of my life fixing the damage discussed in these and other articles.

@leanlearnlead my most footnoted blog post ever: https://agilepainrelief.com/blog/genai-code-quality-fundamental-flaws-and-how-bluffing-makes-it-worse/ I couldn’t have written it without a generative ai. The footnoting along would have taken over an hour

@leanlearnlead It seems like fun to control an army of bots. Too bad about the quality and the cost.

Today's blog post - minutes away from being published, will cover much of why these are fundamentally flawed. Useful -- +1000, but flawed.

@leanlearnlead interesting.

Better than most, good. Hardly worthy of getting mentioned in marketing deck from Anthropic talking about the Agents doing more and more in business.

@leanlearnlead I find it funny that Anthropic cites Telus in their marketing material as a company that is using AI well. I can’t think of a single Canadian Telco that gets good marks for customer service.

@aram Elon doesn’t seem to understand physics.

@petergleick

The Globe and Mail. The Ottawa Citizen although the latter has less and less local news coverage

@leanlearnlead I hear you.

I bought two copies over the years. I first read it in the 90s. Loaned a copy to a coworker and had to repurchase.

I’ve been at two companies that failed to cross the chasm.

@leanlearnlead @shafik @carnage4life

Call back to excellent book. How many in the field have read it? Understood it?

@shafik @carnage4life

Agreed long term seems more likely small focused models.

We just need the whale to fail first.

AI is making us write more code. That's the problem.

I analyzed research papers on AI-generated code quality. The findings:

→ 1.7x more issues than human-written code
→ 30-41% increase in technical debt
→ 39% increase in cognitive complexity
→ Initial speed gains disappear within a few months

We're building the wrong thing faster and calling it productivity.

The bottleneck was never writing code. It's understanding what to build.

If you're using AI coding tools, focus on:
• Smaller features (if it's 1000 lines, it's too big to review)
• Clear acceptance criteria before you prompt
• Tests first, AI-generated code second
• Security audits (AI can't do this)

More code isn't the goal. Solving real problems is.

@vkc @danimo

I hear you. I would challenge the behaviour when I see it, but I miss the problems because I don’t see your replies.

I would like to be more supportive.

@mloxton It's a holster for surgical instruments. Self cleaning as well.

@bernicecbc @jbrains

Just remembered a few more:
@sarah11918 is also from PEI
@KingShawn is from …

@bernicecbc welcome to the fediverse

#Ottawa has a few people such as myself @MichaelPorter and @ottaross

I think @raganwald and @gvwilson
lives in Toronto

@jbrains lives in PEI.

There are a bunch of other’s however I can’t think of their handles instantly.

If each of the people I just mentioned took the time to reply with 4-5 new people you would find your tribe.
