How could they do anything but implode financially? Genuinely curious. The numbers are not right.

Surely polluting the context with "export import" and #ifndef NDEBUG or general verbosity doesn't cost anything!

Nor the work of sociologists like Bourdieu's Distinction.

Reading an AI-generated bug report is awful.

You can find such @nogc collections in `dplug:core` or `nulib` packages.

It is, some part of it is going to be called BaseD and with a more restricted subset, without GC usage.

I didn't know 90% of that, it is heartwarming to see significant back and forth.

Even if you don't use D, I highly recommend watching some of the talks since I find them interesting and dense in information.

In D we've had several angry rants of people saying they were leaving D (it doesn't happen as often since most things got fixed) for other pastures and the leadership has never acted in an unprofessional way.

Mmm I have a different experience. For me other NLE tools were more crashy than Resolve. Resolve also has an incredible feature set and with a one-time payment is a terrific deal. But years ago, it was very much bug-ridden for sure.

yea

In my Dconf'24 talk "Software as investment" I proposed a basic framework based upon a value function (compositional) for each piece of software. This framework doesn't really need an update due to AI, apart from the (unrelated!) cost model being updated depending on how good AI is at maintenance. Apparently it would do 1.7x the number of bugs, but perhaps it fixes them faster too? I don't know.

Seeing software as investment avoids speaking about "technical debt" by speaking about "value", a liability just being an asset with < 0 value. When software exits the high-margin world of yesterday it needs to develop a precise definition of what software deserves to exist, economically.

Laziness in moral clothing.

This is like the "real world" argument. Nobody uses that "in the real world", except well people that do.

With Claude Opus I had no issues.

Exactly what some of us are doing with D.
