I guess the highest level of intellectual integrity is to create a working product to prove a point.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Claude effortlessly wrote 1.2k lines of Bicep modules. It would've taken me a month. Suddenly the value of some of my expertise has dropped to 0, to the point that I'm wondering if I need to hire in a different way.

Devops and mlops have been a thing for almost a decade now, and every implementation I see is full of pitfalls. The most common is what I call the "sandbox deadlock".

I've been trying Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude Sonnet 4, and GPT 4.1 and for the moment the winner is, surprisingly, GPT 4.1. I think OpenAI is tuning it for agentic coding; the feedback and the questions back to the user are surprisingly good, same as editor tool use.
