I fear the software industry is taking on a large amount of cognitive debt that we’ll have to pay back very soon. There will come a time when we no longer understand how large parts of our digital infrastructure are put together. I might not personally be able to change the course of the entire industry, but I can at least make sure I completely understand the software I put out into the world. Anything else would be professional malpractice. — Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code

I’ve just been listening to Muse’s album Absolution XX. And I’ve realised that this micro-blog is already eight years old, now full of 4370 posts. Time flies – it’s mad!
