Below I’m going to maintain a series of bullet points that contain some things I’ve learnt or thought I’ve learnt. I expect it to stay in a state of flux for some time. The goal eventually is to have something like my software-engineering-quotes which serves as a massive summation built on years of software development experience.
- From “Can I build a database? Peachq” presentation:
- Code is cheap.
- Context + validation are expensive
- Unknowns are difficult
- Sub-linear validation of outputs is now the engineers primary goal
i.e. We must find a way to scale validation of the outcomes we want exponential to all other factors.
Faster than we add people, faster than we add AIs working, faster than any factor. - (article)
- Graduate jobs are doomed short-term and will have to transform to survive long term.
- It’s no longer worth learning a new technology unless you can learn it really well.
- (article) “Software development becomes designing the evolutionary environment instead of manually evolving the code.”
- The target user of many software tools should now be AI and the good news is we can repeatedly test it.
