If C++29 was exclusively about quality-of-life improvements, improving what exists, I'd bet the community wouldn't mind too much.

That depends on what else comes. There are a lot of ideas, some of which will get the community excited.

All I want from C++29 is a single-line random() function.

my absolutely-non-expert guess is that it would work much like any other fuel? Combine with matter, get a lot of head out of it and use that in the best way we know.

There's an interesting bit about talking to LLMs to help dispel conspiracy theory ideas. I can see how that would work but also, how that could backfire as well.

Great podcast episode in any case.


I'm happy to see so many philosophy or philosophy-adjacent books on that list. And I also wonder why that is.

I ran into a similar case recently, there was a ticket describing what needed to be done in detail. I was written by a human and it was a well written spec. The problem is that it removed some access controls in the system, essentially given some users more access than they should have.

The ticket was given to an LLM, the code written. Luckily the engineer working on it noticed the discrepancy at some point and was able to call it out.

Scrutinizing specs is always needed, no matter what.


There's nothing wrong in being nice and some chit-chat. Any kind of work, well most kinds of work, are about people and relationships. Building something with people when people can't relate to one another is quite hard.


Open source book dedicated to helping you to make the best possible sourdough bread at home.


Oh thanks, this is a pretty good elevator pitch, now I see the connections I was missing.


That's a very sensible, realistic and non-BS response.

I'm glad to see this coming from a company that is so popular these days.

Thanks!


One of the down sides of Vibe-Coded-Everything, that I am seeing, is reinforcing the "just make it look good" culture. Just create the feature that the user wants and move on. It doesn't matter if next time you need to fix a typo on that feature it will cost 10x as much as it should.

That has always been a problem in software shops. Now it might be even more frequent because of LLMs' ubiquity.

Maybe that's how it should be, maybe not. I don't really know. I was once told by people in the video game industry that games were usually buggy because they were short lived. Not sure if I truly buy that but if anything vibe coded becomes throw away, I wouldn't be surprised.
