Yes, it has become quite common that Claude’s text feedback, e.g. Claude found an issue in the existing code that requires a decision and Claude tries to explain it, it is a paragraph of bullshit words stringed together.

Then you investigate it and it is often something relatively simple that could have been explained with short sentence.

Yes, unfortunately a lot of requirements and specifications are now AI slop, thus developers stop reading them, and agent produce even more slop.

We need to take back writing requirements and specifications to humans.

Adopting high level BDD style testing of human written user stories (cucumber) is probably a good idea.

You have to classify each code review based on what it changes and decide how to handle it, agent review and/or human review. You can have an agent do that.

Not that strange, Malcolm Kyeyune is a member of the Örebro Party, and he’s had a podcast together with the party leader, Markus Allard, since 2015.

Kyeyune was one of the members - along with Allard - who were kicked out of the Left Party’s youth organization in 2014 for supporting the Revolutionary Front.

One thing to remember in Swedish politics is that the old idea of the Folkhemmet ("the Home of the People") is always lurking in the background: a political mix of conservatism and socialism - Sweden as a home for Swedes, but also an egalitarian home. Some view, both on the left and the right, Folkhemmet as peak Sweden.

As a Great Power, Sweden had a great need for engineers to build forts, canals and other important infrastructure for the Kingdom.

These engineers came in handy when the Industrial Revolution started.

Thus Sweden has a long history of manufacturing industry.

To get robocopy fast you have to disable all console output, something like five extra flags.

I can highly recommend PureBasic. Still actively developed and with an active community.

But why pick PHP then? Why not use nodejs or similar where the language, application stack and the community is already in agreement on the execution model.

Correct, the real bottleneck is almost always the database.
