Fragments: April 2
As we see LLMs churn out scads of code, folks have increasingly turned to Cognitive Debt as a metaphor for capturing how a team can lose understanding of what a system does. Margaret-Anne Storey thinks a good way of thinking about these problems is to consider three layers of system health:
- Technical debt lives in code. It accumulates when implementation decisions compromise f...
The article highlights the growing role of large language models (LLMs) in software development. As agents take over more coding tasks, the importance of verification increases, leading to a potential reorganization of teams around verification instead of writing code. This shift could have significant implications for the software development process and team dynamics. Additionally, discussions about the future of programming languages are emerging, with some advocating for new languages tailor...
