Programming Quotes<p>An evolving system increases its complexity unless work is done to reduce it.</p><p> — Meir Lehman</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/complexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complexity</span></a></p>

My introduction to ZFS was gradual, deploying it first on spare H/W to see what it was all about and about half a year later, migrating my home lab file server to ZFS. Years later I'm installing desktop, laptop and servers with ZFS on root. I admit to being a ZFS fanboy, but that took time and practice. </p><p>And as always backups are king!</p><p>1/2</p>

Programming Quotes<p>Ugly programs are like ugly suspension bridges: they're much more liable to collapse than pretty ones, because the way humans (especially engineer-humans) perceive beauty is intimately related to our ability to process and understand complexity. A language that makes it hard to write elegant code makes it hard to write good code.</p><p> — Eric Raymond</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/complexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complexity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>languages</span></a></p>

#AI: I've been trying to build a unidirectional specification driven code generation engine using AI for a little while now, but I'm hitting a #complexity wall. I get the feeling the problem isn't so much the MEANING embedded in the prompts as the sheer prompt size. Compressing the prompt (token) size through formal description doesn't just make it more tractable, it moves the system into an "expert" search space where there's theoretically unlimited amounts of synthetic data. Try it.
