From what I understand it cannot be used to perform work on contracts where the DoW is on the other side. [1]
In practice I would suspect companies with such contracts would play it safe by outright banning the use of Anthtropic products, even if they could technically be used for work on contracts with other parties.

Eh, of course you can. You can specify anything as long as you know what you want it to do. This is like systems engineering 101 and people do it successfully all the time.

Which is perfectly fine (albeit perhaps stupid, I agree) for private enterprise. It's the public ones that need to shift first and foremost.
Re:Ladybird Browser adopts Rust

Cool project, but I'm a bit curious hearing how the rest of the project feels about this?
I'm not sure how I'd feel if I woke up and found a system I worked on had been translated into an another language I'm not neccessarily familiar with. And I'm not sure I'd want to fix an non-idiomatic "mess" just because it's been translated into a language I'm familiar with either (although I suspect they'll have no problem attracting rust developers).

Are they though? I don't know what I expected, but to me they looked like nothing. Maybe they'd be more impressive if I'd read the transcripts but whatever.

Re:Systems Thinking

This isn't my experience. Requirements tend to settle over time (unless they're stupidly written). Users tend to like things to stay the same, with perhaps some improvement to performance here and there.
But if anything, all development is the search for the search for the requirements. Some just value writing them down.

Also consider the tools and materials available today. I don't know much about Michelangelo, but I imagine people's opportunity for sheer iteration (due to availability of qualitys pens, pappers, ink etc) is magnitudes higher (and cheaper) today.

Fully agreed. The Talk pages are a very interesting read these days. I things continue down this path I think Wikipedia will be a lot less relevant in the coming years, at least for current events and things related to the on-going culture war.

I will say though that my valgrind is broken due to march native. :)
