Re:AI is forcing us to pay off 40 years of technical debt by naasking on Wednesday November 04, 2026 @03:51PM (#50371327)
It seems straightforward to present the tradeoff in a formulation that statisticians can understand, eg. the expected value of an 80% correct solution that ships now is higher than a 100% correct solution that will take 3 months. The opportunity cost of the extra care often only really pays off for security-sensitive code, like crypto, where the cost of failure is potentially catastrophic.
