Dzugaru | on: We should be more ambitious with the software we build
If you didnt before you won't start now. AI does not speed up this kind of effort enough - its interpolating between existing stuff.

the threshold to start is definitely lowered now. So i disagree strongly.

the difficulty now is finishing.

However you can set up loops where the AI do improving by themselves and you just have to steer

Sigh. It was always like this.

I disagree. There are things which are very annoying outside of core ideas or otherwise take a lot of time. Too much time and energy to justify normally. Personal example: https://github.com/wiwa/gpu-typing

Typechecking with my own algorithm. Simple enough to specify in Python. Annoying with much boilerplate in CUDA. Similarly annoying to test.
