Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale
He put some scale in his scale.
AI agents, guided by algorithms
Computers are guided by algorithms, amazing.
Even if you use AI, bullshit is still bullshit. That doesn't change.
Most of them are C++ developers who refuse to face the fact that they've spent years and years trying to master a language that was poorly defined to begin with
How is that worse than you, unwilling to admit that Rust is undefined completely?
Was thinking the same thing.
Whenever I visit California from Aus, I think I've entered a 2nd world country with the state of public infrastructure.
I live in Aus and haven’t seen it. Restaurants will usually have a tip option on the eftpos machine but it is very optional and if it was mandatory, they would loose repeat business.
And there is nowhere else I’ve seen tipping.
Minimum casual wage is now almost $32/hr ($21USD)
Since COVID though cost of living has skyrocketed, so I do feel for the restaurants.

A CEO was looking for a friend?
You don't break code that works.
Breaking code that works is job security. "don't break code that works" is something that most of the programming world has given up on, unfortunately (along with KISS).
The problem is that without allowing some "unsafe" operations in Rust or any other language it is impossible to do any I/O
I don't think that's true, unless you insist on immutability. In particular, it IS possible to do safe IO, most languages can handle it. For Rust, it's just a matter of defining the proper rules that make IO safe, and then enforcing them.
It appears that PL/I (and its dialects) is, or will be, the most widely used higher level language for systems programming. -- J. Sammet
