He puts words around what I've been feeling for the past 6 months or more:

> Ousterhout introduces the term “tactical tornado” for a programmer who churns out tons of working but overly complex code that doesn’t fit well into the existing system. Worse, a bad manager often sees a tactical tornado as the most productive programmer on a team, failing to recognize the complexity and code debt left behind for the rest of the team to clean up. If we aren’t careful managers, AI agents can easily become the ultimate tactical tornadoes.

Did you validate this by running a A/B test? Main question is were you able to classify back into your known categories correctly all the time, or did the errors compound from the llm hallucination plus embedding search

You are right, this PR is where they introduced git to drone: https://github.com/harness/gitness/pull/3364/

Would have been awesome to see this as a separate project, but I guess they would like to ride the drone CI wave. I like drone, unsure about including git in there

So here's the GitHub project: https://github.com/harness/gitness

How does the project already have 27k stars? Surely this was not public before?

Or do you think drone always had this product?

Also https://taskfile.dev/ seems to be in a similar vein. Simplifying the authoring of the build specification.

There's this concept of "forward build system" that other people too have nibbled at. See:

* http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2021/09/small-project-build...

* https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3497775.3503687

Primarily trying to reduce the high learning curve of complete build systems like bazel/please/buck.

The author too seems to be heading in this direction

Interesting, I asked it this:

> Me: Write a golang function to get a http request, following the API of the get function in Python requests library.

> Bard: Sure, here is a Golang function to get an HTTP request with an API similar to the requests.get() function in Python:

It produced a function that takes url and parameters. Decent first approximation.

ChatGPT has trouble with this (when I tried a couple months back)
