@Donald Ball

I get mad about the collapse a lot but mostly I’m into cats and games and books and cool people.

By day, I write software. By preference, I'd write clojure or I'd be learning rust and elixir. By necessity, I'm writing golang and typescript.

I think the way we model and transfer data in the industry commonly is woefully inadequate and am on a jeremiad to demonstrate alternatives.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I recently had to evaluate Claude and prompted it to explain why “dry drop metallurgy” was more efficient than prior techinques. Seven convincing sounding paragaphs produced on a non-existent technique.

I shudder to think how even very experienced developers could be fooled by such reasoning produced to justify one flawed source code production or another for domains in which they lack deep expertise.

This isn’t a “you’re holding it wrong” problem, rather: “unfit for purpose”.
