CloudBees surveyed 200+ enterprise technology leaders this year. 92% said they were confident their AI-generated code was production-ready before it shipped. Then after it shipped, 81% of those same people reported a rise in production issues. Confidence in AI output is now a measurable risk factor. A board can put the 92% "confidence in AI generated code" against the 81% "production issue rate" and really understand what is going on. Is it a bunch of unregulated tokenmaxxing? Or is there a plan and is it working? The report itself says that the bottleneck has moved from writing code to gover… bit.ly

I've been maintaining a Rails app for ~10 years. It has very specific business logic for on-site multi-day course registrations. DDD style like I learned at 37signals. For 10 years, I configured each course in the Rails console. It was never worth it to build out the configurator UI. This year, I just talked to AI to do it. And the payoff from the carefully written model is really amazing. The AI was completely speaking the language of the domain and even raising meaningful pricing/structural questions about how the packages are set up this year vs previous years. Sharing this example because… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they

this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
