I guess the question is, does the Dunning Krueger effect apply to models? The dumb ones might think they're up to the task.

Author here. I've come up with a method to inform a developer about the code their agent has created. The gist is - I have the agent create a set of lessons with a quiz at the end of each section, plus a guided code review section at the end. Hopefully some folks will find this helpful!

Are these even meant to be used though? It seems more like performance art.

One good timesaver: debug in the easiest environment that you can reproduce the bug in. For instance, if it’s an issue with a website on an iPad, first see if you reproduce in chrome using the responsive tools in web developer. If that doesn’t work, see if it reproduces in desktop safari. Then the iPad simulator, and only then the real hardware. Saves a lot of frustration and time, and each step towards the actual hardware eliminates a whole category of bugs.

But it’s based on a misunderstanding. Xenomorph just means “alien”— it wouldn’t make any sense for that to be the term for that specific alien, because their existence isn’t common knowledge.

Also, not the point, but plumbing is very lucrative.
