Better than moose and squirrel.

> The LinkedIn Queens seems to be a much easier version of this puzzle.

This is exactly it. Queens is an “under two minutes” version.


> "I will fix the potholes on 1st ave."

I hear Dominos is hiring if you want to leverage the power of the private sector for pothole filling. ;)


Some relevant context here is that this paper was published in 1980 by the Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel. I would expect such references to be pretty common in such works.

Yeah, I don’t think I follow, just because the university is in Tel Aviv means they have to conflict mythology with science? Seems very condescending.

No worries. Just context to help with why they did it. Similar situation would be that we would expect ancient Roman writings to refer to their gods as matter of fact.

Religious bs comming from an university make it worse. Can't you see it?

> Their tech teams should know better, but it’s hard to say “no”, when it feels like your salary depends on you saying “yes”.

There's some truth to the difference between "short term profits" and "my salary depends on this" being whether you're the boss or the employee.


> In the meantime continue expecting mediocre results from mediocre people feeding LLMs mediocre context.

I can't even with the ego here. The best teachers practice humility.


> So how do you ensure everyone keeps to that agreement?

There's nothing specific to using Claude or any other automation tool here. You still use code reviews, linters, etc. to catch anything that isn't following the team norms and expectations. Either that or, as the article points out, someone will cause an incident and may be looking for a new role (or nothing bad happens and no one is the wiser).



> A riot or mob violence is a form of civil disorder commonly characterized by a group lashing out in a violent public disturbance against authority, property, or people.

> Uprisings which revolt, resisting and taking direct action against an authority, law or policy

See? Riots are by definition rebellions. They're both words for resisting legitimate authority. How do you expect there to be a riot that isn't an insurrection? That's why the lefties aren't getting much pushback on calling it an insurrection. Its a riot. Everyone agrees. Insisting that it use a specific word instead of the usual one is playing a bit of a game to pretend that it is some sort of special riot which is where the pushback starts; but there isn't any question that it is technically an insurrection - all riots are small insurrections.


I believe we already have the correct word (agent).

Agentic coding.

To me this implies that it's more agent than person... like when you use claude in github actions vs using it in your ide.

Agentic coding works via the IDE, GitHub Issues, and command-line tools like OpenAI Codex and Claude CLI. Agentic coding is AI-based feedback-driven multi-step coding. In general, an agent implies that the agent is working for someone, which in this case is a person.

Can you elaborate? You've made a claim, but I really think there'd be value in continuing to what you actually mean.


They mean “vet your sources and don’t blindly follow the internet hive-mind.” or similar; burden of proof is not what the internet thinks.

Tacked their actual point on to the end of a copy paste of op comments context, ended up writing something barely grammatically correct.

In doing so they prove why exactly not to listen to the internet. So they have that going for them.
