Readit Newsi had to killall -9 claude 3 times yesterday
Go ahead - I'm ready to be down-voted again and again until folks realize it is inevitable, as is inevitable that many companies in the area of business software are going down down down.

you can also read human code and empathise what were they thinking while writing it
AI code is not for humans, it is just a stream of tokens that do something, you need to build skills to empirically verify that it does what you think it does, but it is pointless to "reason" about it.
Not saying this is the best way, but have you followed any of Bret Victor's work with dynamicland[1]?
The same way scratch works for some, redstone for others, and https://strudel.cc/ for third
I think the truth is that we are more different than alike, and computers are quite strange.
I personally was professionally coding, and writing hundreds of lines of code per day for years, and now I look at this code and I can see that I was not just bad, I literally did not know what programming is.
Human code is an expression of the mind that thinks it. Some language allow us to better see into the author's mind, e.g forth and lisp, leak the most, c also leaks quite a lot e.g. reading antirez's code or https://justine.lol/lambda/, or phk or even k&r, go leaks the least I think.
Anyway, my point is, programming is quite personal, and many people have to find their own way.
PS: what I call programming is very distant from "professional software development"
This is nitpicking but I was curious: there are 4.4 million software developers in the US (https://www.griddynamics.com/blog/number-software-developers...). The population is 340 million, 0.1% would be 340,000. You’re off by over one order of magnitude.
we could say 0.5%?
I am thinking of doing a reprint, but tbh shipping is so expensive now, and I there is also USA's tariffs and etc.
github for agent code is dropbox final_final2.zip
