Quoting Paul Graham, John McPhee wrote that Bill Bradley's success as a basketball player was due partly to his extraordinary peripheral vision. "Perfect" eyesight means about 47 degrees of vertical peripheral vision. Bill Bradley had 70; he could see the basket when he was looking at the floor. Maybe great hackers have some similar inborn ability. (I cheat by using a very dense language, which shrinks the court.) https://paulgraham.com/gh.html It's doubly so with LLMs. You don't need as much clean code. Larger files. Make it easier to structure files for LLMs to navigate. Linting and tests that tells AI when it's making mistakes. AI doesn't always run the code, but something like Dart with hot reload, gives it much faster feedback. |
