I am okay with companies shilling their tools. Ultimately I'd want my employer to buy good tools that make our lives easier specifically wrt debugging which I genuinely hate. However this post could have been a better walk through about what Claude found, what was the exact root cause and how it can be fixed instead of the generic Anthithesis found it in 15m.
yeah im fine with shilling that has actual interesting substance beyond the ad. imo this is an ad + AI handwaving and nothing else.
this is a pretty wide trend for blog content nowadays so im not suprised overall, i just commented because previous antithesis blogs were better than this to that criteria. just take a look at the other older write ups on their site compared to this one and you’ll see a very clear difference in depth and effort of content.
I think its also about tolerance for failure. For software that must not fail or where reliability commands a premium you would be wise to invest in formal methods. Core systems at aws for example. For throwaway CRUD code its just easier to try iterations on the problem and call it a day. Its not about respect just RoI.
This is the thing. You "spend" lines of code, you dont produce it. The produced part is the outcome - a functional feature, stability improvements, some business outcome. Measuring productivity with LoCs is like measuring output with cash burn.
Same sentiment here. B-tier hit factory stuff is easy to catch and easier to ignore and move on from. Also happy to recognize a fellow Stevie Wonder fan.
