Also, the field moves fast, but slower than people do. Researchers and engineers switch companies every year or two, and the know-how walks out the door with them.

It's absurd, but he partly reflects on that himself: "But more than anything, it was therapeutic for me. Some mindless entertainment. I'm not a big TV watcher. It allowed me to detach from the realities and the pressures of life."

I completely agree. In fact, I believe URL design should be part of UX design, and although I've worked with 30+ UX designers, I've never once received guidance on URLs.

It is mentioned in the post:

> Traditional LLMs output everything they think immediately, without stopping to consider the best possible answer. New techniques like scaffolding, on the other hand, function like a thoughtful agent who explores different possible solutions before deciding. This “thinking before speaking” approach provides over 10x performance on demanding tasks like code generation, fundamentally boosting the intelligence of AI models without additional training.

Re:Istanbul: A JavaScript code coverage tool written in JS on Wednesday September 24, 2014 @11:08AM (#8361862)
Great tool, perfectly fits to the node.js ecosystem, lightweight and fast.

However in case you use co-mocha[1] to test your generators, istanbul won't work properly, the generators in the reports are shown as uncovered. Therefore I made a mocha fork[2] and directly applied the changes from co-mocha to the source (instead of monkey patching); it solved the problem.
