Comment on Software design is now cheapparent

Comments

(Author here) I meant "design" as in designing physical objects — and all our "programming" is "design" in this definition, because "manufacturing" is done by compilers and bundlers.

And I wouldn't write this article 3 months ago. Since then the quality of the output jumped significantly, it is now possible to put the agent into a proper harness (plan/edit/review/test) and the output is good — and if it's not, you discard it and try again, or point out a detail for the next cycle of improvements.

Yes, this requires a lot of forethought to set up, but it works.

I'm not talking only about "web things", I'm working on a project that involves engineering calculations and a lot of optimization of hot paths, both CPU and GPU.
