This ignores that non-developers have gone from 0x to 0.5x.

Yes. Because that is where the intent is/was. In the future, as more changes are made, having the history of the intent is helpful context. And in that back and forth there are also details of what you didn't want, and why. Some of that can be captured in decision docs, etc.

when devs work in isolation, that context/memory is siloed. Same is true when working across platforms (codex, claude, etc).

they are saying the prompt is the source, the code is the artifact. I think it is a valid comparison. when reviewing a PR, I do want to see the prompt(s) that generated the change.

it’s the wifi hotspot name.

though Okta is the first provider working on the enterprise mcp stuff.

agents are pretty good at cleaning up a codebase, finding dead code, fixing bad abstractions, etc. You just have to spend some focusing the agents on that goal.

my cellphone has been named “sneakernet” for years. it’s a throwback to a time when it was faster to walk a zip disk across campus than it was to send it.

Fun fact. My wife and I met on something similar in 2006 or so. "My Blog Log" was a sidebar widget that showed other people who we reading that blog. She was in marketing, I was in tech, and it was a blog at that intersection written by Rex Hammock (RIP).

i have been thinking about this from a different direction: how do we make these shared within a company in a way that increases the productivity floor of the team/department/company. Sure, they can still be extended/enhanced by individuals, but we don’t need everyone configuring mcps, building institutional memory, etc.

for me, it’s not about the cost to leave, it’s about lowering the cost of onboarding and change.

I think the fourth would be "lie to those who want you to tell the truth".

His father's saying may have been: "There are three honest ways to make a living".

The fourth option is where scams and fraud live.

Nashville is paused too. I don’t know why.

I assume he is calculating the loss as depreciation - what they would have spent on cloud bills if they hadn’t been doing this locally.

But copilot code review agent is pretty good at catching when code and comments diverge (even in unrelated documentation files).

I didn't even know there was a "three em dash". Bravo.

i also first thought of point of sale servers
