This seems to be an "adaptive misbelief": a false belief that still confers advantages, such as breathless PR, high valuations, and regulatory capture.

AI really did solve a problem in mathematics. 2. Mathematics is only about solving problems.” https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/12/after-math/ Much here applies to software too.14 Sep 2026 13:30 +0000at://did:plc:a4slcmeql3w6vsdbjbcgxd3m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvi7s6vx4c2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/swtch.com/post/3mvaunabz322aRSA should be retired. Yes you can technically do it right, but there is so much history of doing it wrong. Just stop. Throw it all away, and move on to less error-prone systems.

I get these notices a lot now. Sometimes my 'stored rule' wins, sometimes it does not.02 Sep 2026 23:50 +0000at://did:plc:a4slcmeql3w6vsdbjbcgxd3m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mul4sz3b722fhttps://bsky.app/profile/swtch.com/post/3mtwnosklvk2vFrontier LLMs are much better and dramatically faster than I am at finding and fixing bugs. If you are not asking them to debug your code and review your bugs, you are doing it wrong. A thread of Claude wins. (No longer at Google, btw.)

If your test machine is on the internet (or just your local network), you can use it as a 'go test' and 'go run' target and keep developing in your usual setup.05 Aug 2026 18:28 +0000at://did:plc:a4slcmeql3w6vsdbjbcgxd3m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mse5rqpfnk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/swtch.com/post/3mrtadwli222lShut up money my take and!
