The author argues that LLMs are not similar to compilers because they lack precise semantics and force users to relinquish control over the underlying system, leading to a lack of functional correctness and potentially dangerous laziness in software development. To mitigate this, the author suggests that specification and verification will become the bottleneck and core skill in software ...
The author argues that C's influence on programming languages has created a protocol that makes it difficult for languages to interact with each other and with operating systems, leading to a nightmare of foreign function interfaces and ABI compatibility issues. The author suggests that changing fundamental types like intmax_t would require a new target triple and would likely cause chaos in ...
