The 70% problem: Hard truths about AI-assisted coding A field guide and why we need to rethink our expectations

I think it's what most of non-engineers and even tech executives don't understand about AI coding.

Agree.

I think the problem is it's still difficult to connect LLMs to the apps.

Building LLMs is probably not going be a brilliant business The Netscapes of AI

Interesting thoughts.

One of the most underrated skills in software engineering is deleting code. Letting go is an act of discipline. That was a good one ;(

Giving this new social media a try! Excited to explore and share thoughts on software development, architecture, AI/ML, and the evolving challenges we face as engineers. Let’s see where this journey takes us!
