I’ve written code professionally since 1994. I’ve been a team lead. I’ve been a development director. I’ve been a CTO. I like to help. No question about software is too basic or too complex. I just want to share what I know.
Why isn’t AI getting the returns Big AI hoped for? We haven’t done the work yet. open.substack.com/pub/graves…

Physicists think AI is physics.
Statisticians think AI is statistics.
Mathematicians think AI is mathematics.
Psychologists think AI is psychology.
Neuroscientists think AI is neuroscience.
And they’re all right.

The artificial path to intelligence will be very different from the human one.

The fact that the word ‘needy’ is such an insult speaks to how terrified we are of our own needs and dependence.
We are all needy when our needs are not met, just as we are all hungry when we go without food.
Do you mean threading by quote tweeting like this? Because you can’t use the thread tool in replies.

America needs to de-emphasize intelligence and emphasize hard work and honesty.
We also need to glorify genius less and glorify average people more.

Nice read on reverse engineering of GitHub Copilot 🪄. Copilot has dramatically accelerated my coding, it's hard to imagine going back to "manual coding". Still learning to use it but it already writes ~80% of my code, ~80% accuracy. I don't even really code, I prompt. & edit.
A while back I'd done some shallow reverse engineering of Copilot
Now I've done a deeper dive into Copilot's internals, built a tool to explore its code, and wrote a blog answering specific questions and pointing out some tidbits.

Do read, might be fun!
2023 is going to be a wild ride. I think it’s going to be the most important year in tech since the Internet got popularized around 1994.

I wrote a VSCode extension that allows you to use ChatGPT within the context of your code 🔥
You can click on code blocks to paste them into the editor, or use a selected code snippet as a reference.
The extension is on GitHub if you want to check it out github.com/mpociot/chatgpt-v…
Dismissing ChatGPT because it sometimes hallucinates or gets things wrong is like complaining that a dog’s Chinese is not very good. Bro, it’s a talking dog.

Just 8% of CTOs are women. I'm not a CTO yet nor a man but @etdebruin invited me to speak anyway at the 7CTOs conference in San Diego today. Great decision on his part because honestly I'm brilliant and hilarious so these dudes are in for a treat. A TREAT.

When a big consultancy sells you @ScaledAgile, and the mere mention of SAFe makes you cringe, no need to fret. You're not going to get SAFe, you're going to get Waterfall 🤣
