100% agree

I was reading some stuff by Michael A. Jackson (Problem Frames Approach) and T.S.E Maibaum (Mathematical Foundations on Software Engineering) because I also had the impression that too much talk around LLM-assisted programming focuses on program text and annotations / documentation. Thinkers like Donald Schön thought about tacit knowledge-in-action and approached this with design philosophy. when looking at LLM-assisted programming, I call this shaded context. imo agent.md files are not requirements / specifications (yet).

as you say, software engineering is not only constructing program texts, its not even only applied math or overly scientific. at least that is my stance. I suspect AI code editors have lots of said tacit knowledge baked in (via the black box itself or its engineers) but we would be better off thinking about this explicitly.

no front, but do you even read what you write? incredibly insensitive

imo quite dubious to see the state only as "facilitator/suppressor" of economic activity and not also as a share/rent seeking entity itself. state capitalism is resurgent within a constellation of rampant international economic competition (especially in tech). taxing / fining US domination in tech is a working business model.

bingo

this is precisely why I was suprised to find out the author is actually a lawyer. I know you're joking ... but reality of legal practice entails so much more than just a "right"/"rational"/"convincing" decision (hell, there's an eternal debate in legal theory about whether or not this is even a sensible thing to ask for).
