No, the bottleneck is not always requirements. Understanding requirements is a prerequisite to writing correct code, but it takes a fraction of the time.
Obviously different domains have different complexities of requirements and code which changes the ratio
There were already plenty of reliable compilers at least for the main architectures in use. Replace C with Fortran though if you prefer - complaining about python in mission critical software is a brain-dead take that belongs in the bin of history.
It’s not a “narrative”; it’s their experience. I don’t have the same experience, but do have experience of myself and colleagues using LLM agents effectively and doing more work reviewing their output than writing lines of code. Some colleagues are pretty much AI boosters, but most are very aware of its limitations.
Developing mission-critical systems in scripting languages
This is a wild take. If you’d come up in the 80s you’d be complaining about using C instead of hand-writing assembly.
Writing lines of code was the bottleneck before. Vetting them is the bottleneck now, if LLMs are involved.
Do you not think rants belong here? What about linking to a rant on a blog?
to write the General American pronunciation of “mom” with French orthography would be something like “mam”.
Language jokes by people who evidently know bugger all about the language are extremely cringe
Your whimsy hurts me
As an ancient husk of a person, it all looks crack-addled to me. I don’t really see how you can parse out headings from emoji because their usage isn’t consistent.
I mean I am a programmer and while I don’t submit many changes written by AI, I review plenty written with its help, and plenty of those are actually decent. Plenty are shit or pointless, some execs’ expectations are utterly insane (“you’ll be submitting a hundred changes a week”). But plenty of others are sensible.
I can actually imagine this being pretty useful on phones so you can give a kid a phone but prevent it from installing certain software (from normal sources)
If you haven’t done it explicitly you still have one implicitly.
Or if they can firewall them, China style. California probably can’t do that, but the UK can.
My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it’s shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.
If a bunch of the emoji don’t even make sense it can get in the bin.
Nice! Hope you get some help. I am also interested in a notes organiser but don’t have the folder-structure constraint.
What you’re looking for is not a markdown editor but a notes organiser that uses markdown. Any text editor makes a decent markdown editor, because that’s the point.
A hammer is a completely different tool, but different defaults in a single program are not.
Point is there’s no objective standard for “perfect”
Instead of spending 4 weeks writing requirements and 1 week implementing them, have you tried spending a day guessing at requirements, half a week writing a prototype, and then asking the customer if it works for them?
Have you ever worked on a tools team where your customers are internal and your developers are also customers and so know the requirements inside-out?
