@poteto

Improving codebases for agents: recommends a yminsky talk on making codebases agent-friendly, listing types as feedback, making illegal states unrepresentable, property-based tests, fuzzing, deterministic simulation testing, expect tests, and formal methods becoming cheaper with agents (seL4 cited at about 8,700 lines of C and 25 person-years). post (https://x.com/poteto/status/2114626630429913383) · 735❤ · 45 RT

Programming languages for agents: quotes mattpocockuk's post that the next language for agents should be as fast as Rust, have Go's small design space, and the strictest type system, and says she expects much programming-language innovation in the next few years. post (https://x.com/poteto/status/2114608724312752550) · 1,002❤ · 20 RT

No moat: quotes jack's "there is no moat" with "few know this" and a link. post (https://x.com/poteto/status/2114537688347054558) · 1,187❤ · 39 RT

@HamelHusain

Benchmark quality: says public benchmarks are of poor quality relative to how much the industry relies on them, points to epoch.ai/benchmarks as an independent reviewer, advises running benchmarks and inspecting grader failures before trusting them, and plans a write-up. post (https://x.com/HamelHusain/status/2114434195854684330) · 503❤ · 52 RT
