I like it too. That's how I feel about AI chats righ now.

There was no other option than traditional learning.

Skimming is not bad. Many things don't need to be learned anyway. Picking what to focus is more important now as everything seem to go so fast.

Do contract always have to be legal?

100%

In general I'm not a fan of middleman that don't add value. Those who find the way to bring value will stay.

aybe if you prompt LLMs to write specs, they can create complete specs of interesting systems.

I can't wait to live into the future and see how this turns out.

If interesting software can't be fully specified and LLMs/AI-coding-agents are spec to implementation kind of tools, then prompting won't be enough to build these kind of software.

It wasn't when I listened to it. Still it's free

I listened to that podcast a few years ago, before the ChatGPT launch.

I really encourage you to listen to it.

Two quotes from it:

1. "Most real systems can't be specified. If you could specify them then they are dead."
2. "[about Lisp] You stop thinking about the language because the language is simple. What you are thinking is about the problem."

Questions tied to the quotes:

1. Does this mean prompting software can only take you so far?
2. It was in 2021. Many would agree this is happening to English, not just Lisp, thanks to AI coding agents. Do you agree?

And sometimes really, really good!

I agree.

Since I started using GPT-5.2 straight from the OpenAI API, the responses feel less sycophantic. The experience is better because of that.

I should do this more often.
