  Evan Prodromou has the unenviable task of making the whole ecosystem easy to understand. Thankfully he does that well. Things are logically laid out, there are comprehensive descriptions of even the most obscure parts of the spec, and it builds up nicely from the fundamentals.

  An agent can tell you whether a thing looks correct against a spec; it cannot tell you whether the thing is any good.

  Their words

  An agent can tell you if a thing looks correct, if it's matching a spec. It doesn't necessarily mean it can tell you what's good.

  Lines of code are the wrong artifact to review; what we should be storing and reviewing is an architecture that generates the code to spec.

  Their words

  Like that just does not seem like the ideal artifact. We should be able to store them somewhere. We should be able to have architecture diagrams that we can review and discuss that generate that code to spec.

  Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering

  Their words

  Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering by Robert L. Glass. In essence, this is a book about an industry that refuses to learn. That was true 25 years ago when this book was published, and it's probably twice as true today. (Just think about all the AI adoption metrics being rolled out — back to productivity mistaken for lines of code produced, only more elaborate. And expensive). What I like about this book is that Glass doesn't present anything new. Quite the opposite, actually. Rather, it's about research lessons that we all should know, but tend to forget. Ever had to do an estimate, or plan according to a requirements spec? Or maybe you thought that enough eyeballs make all bugs shallow? Then this book is for you. A great work by a fantastic author.

  Performance review is best done as a PageRank-style computation over continuous company-wide votes, not as an annual HR cycle.

  Their words

  This is a little bit different than actually literally I vector centrality but it's very similar and so we call this technique IGEN reviews and I've become convinced that this is more or less the right way to do performance reviews.

  AI did not create the bottlenecks in software delivery; it threw gas on processes everybody already knew were weak.

  Their words

  There were a handful of people probably managing a security review process or a launch process or a deployment process or, you know, sometimes reviews were a little slow and they got backed up. Well, now we just threw gas on the fire and so all of that is a problem.

  No person learns the way RL does: a human reviews which parts of an attempt were good instead of rewarding every step of a lucky one.

  Their words

  A human would never do this. Number one, a human would never do hundreds of rollouts. Uh number two, when a person sort of finds a solution, they will have a pretty complicated process of review of like, okay, I think these parts that I did well, these parts I did not do that well, I should probably do this or that.

  Most book authors optimise for the status of being published, chasing bestseller lists and reviews instead of the reader.

  Their words

  The authors of most books are looking for many of the magical elements of status that come from successfully being published. They pay attention to the bestseller list. They game it. They pay attention to reviews. They uh worry about what their friends think of the book, even though their friends don't read books.

  Quality means meeting spec and nothing else, so a product riddled with defects that fall within spec is a high-quality product.

  Their words

  Quality is not luxury. Quality is not expensive. Quality is not that you love it. Quality is just one thing. It meets spec. So, if I look under an electron microscope at any part of a Lexus, which is by any measure the highest quality car there is, uh under an electron microscope, it's filled with defects. But they're not defects that matter because they're defects that are within spec.
