> enterprise-grade code

What even is that?

davydm•2h ago
Crappy, bloated, slow, buggy, frustrating for customers. This is modern enterprise software. Older enterprise software was mostly just bloated and stagnant.

Somewhat ironic because this is the rant that Steve is famous for: https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/03/execution-in-kingdo...

250k lines that are "carefully reviewed"? "Enterprise grade" I'll buy because enterprise code, especially now, is pretty shit - slow, buggy, insecure.

I guess we all wait for the output, which is the only true proof. Right now, it's a loon getting excited about llms competing with each other to produce what is quite likely way too much code, within which lurks way too many bugs. Any seasoned programmer will tell you less code is better, both for performance and for reliability.

I'd say I can't wait to see the output, but at this rate, it will likely be 1m loc when done, and if I was going to review a million lines of code, I'd be looking at the Linux kernel - a carefully crafted bit of software with actual review processes in place, that's used in millions upon millions of devices. I can pretty-much guarantee that whatever slop is finally served up, it won't be anywhere near the same league.

If he didn’t get any human help, “carefully reviewed” must mean “LLM X, carefully review this code that LLM Y wrote” or even worse, LLM X carefully reviewing its own code.
