I am sorry, but this kind of comment has become too common on this site. It underestimates the kind of code a highly efficient human being coder is capable of writing and managing over a long period of time ( which is what is required in a real job, btw ).

The only thing that I think coding agents are better than good human coders is the ability to generate a lot of usable code in a shorter period of time.

But can they maintain it over a long period of time? I highly doubt that, given the evidence that I have with me. Coding agents under-perform quite often in my line of work. They overproduce and yet are not able to cover the given requirements.

Sometimes they do 100% of the given task, but miss a slight detail ( given clearly in the prompt ), that renders their product unusable. This quite often results in a complete rewrite - consuming more, guess what, tokens!!!

So anyone who thinks that right now, coding agents can replace human coders completely, is really not working with these agents long enough or hard enough.

Once you start demanding from agents the same quality of code and the added responsibility/liability that you would associate with a human code, you will sure see the difference and I can tell you that its a lot.

I work with Opus 5.5 and Codex Astra 6 on a wide range of projects and they are found completely wanting in certain situations where a human would be more trustworthy and produce better results.

When claude code became quite good, I became quite excited. I wanted to make sure that I consumed my full quota ( 5-hourly and weekly ). I was working on four to five different project at the same time. And it was excruciatingly painful after the initial rush wore off.

I went back to working on one project at a time to regain my sanity.

Hi,

First of all, congrats on the launch. I have worked with many such products and this is something that is required. There is no one solution fits all in this domain. Each vendor has their quirks that. So this is overall a great problem to tackle and kudos to you for taking this up.

Could you elaborate a bit more on how this is different from Renode?

Also you are entering into a market that has well established legacy players. Most of the firmware is developed in China. How do you intend to make a space for yourself in such a scenario.

How would a "9-billion-parameter model" replicate on IoT devices that have typically no more than 2-4 MB of RAM or 8-16 MB of flash?

As a fellow Indian growing up in 90s, I feel you. I had my fair share of beatings from teachers in school.

There were cases where parents who found it challenging to control their kids, would encourage teachers to use physical force on them. Parents deemed it was school's responsibility to instill discipline in their children.

As far as I can recall, use of violence to control kids was pretty common back in the day, both at home and at school. I don't see that happening nowadays, though.

what happened in 2018/19?

It would be great if these posting could have tags like below prefixed at the top by the poster.

[HUMAN-CODE] - code written by humans

[AGENT-CODE] - code written by Claude/Codex/Other agents out there

[HYBRID] - Combination of Humans/Agents

I would prefer to go through projects where people are writing code themselves. And this kind of tagging would help me filter through easily.

Excessive groundwater extraction and urban development could be reasons for this. But these are common practice in almost all of the modern world, so why is this only showing up in Mexico City.

There must be other contributing factors too.

When it comes to writing small scripts for various utility tasks, I now rely heavily on LLMs.

Additionally, lets say I would like to write something new that I don't know anything about, I now go first to a LLM, or two of them, to get an idea of what would be the best approach. It saves a lot of time that would otherwise go in research and discovery.

But I still don't trust it enough to write production level code. When I am writing something that I know will be released in a product, I steer clear of LLMs.

All of this when I am doing my day job. For my side projects, I try not to use LLMs.

That was really good twist in the book.

It made me think a lot what a normal Trisolaran conversation or exchange of information look like? How does a civilization evolve in this case?
