Paul Frazee suggests AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle, being scope, ship speed, and correctness. "Small tool are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to 'fast prototype,'" he posts. It is further suggested this was coding before AI tools. They're an accelerator, not a sea change, someone posts.

According to her plea agreement, Wang, 58, and an associate, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, 65, worked on behalf of the People’s Republic of China to promote the government’s interests through propaganda efforts. Among their platforms was the U.S. News Center, which purported to be a news source for Southern California’s Chinese American community, according to the DOJ. In one example from June 2021, prosecutors said Chinese officials contacted Wang through encrypted WeChat messages to deliver prewritten news articles.
Tim stared at me over a sloppy taco and told me there was no way Bigfoot was a made-up creature. Too many people had seen him. Heard his delicious howls. Smelled his rank odor drifting through the Tennessee tree line like a large, ambulatory crime scene. Bigfoot was real. Bigfoot was in Tennessee. And Tim had a theory that elevated the whole enterprise considerably — Bigfoot might be an alien. I want to be precise about my response to this moment. I did not laugh. I am a professional. I did point out, with the measured diplomacy of a man who has spent years in both intelligence work and elected office, that Tim’s belief rested entirely on the recollections of others. Souls who I humbly submit are either sadly and credulously mistaken, or liars, or possibly both simultaneously — a category I have encountered with surprising frequency in my career across multiple institutions. Tim considered this. I pressed my advantage. I noted that many people see Jesus in wood paneling. In grilled cheese sandwiches. In water stains on highway underpasses. These are not isolated incidents. These are documented, recurring, geographically distributed phenomena involving sincere witnesses with no apparent financial motive. Are they to be believed? Tim Burchett, United States Congressman, former mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, genuinely kind human being, looked at me across the ruins of his taco and said: “I guess so.” I have thought about that answer for six years.
