Not even vibe coders, but autonomous agents/bots.

I‘ve noticed that some projects have „Claude“ as one of their top three contributors.

Claude code co-authors commits, that might account

I glanced at zhe thread you linked. And as I understand they are in the process of migrating, which will take more than a year still.

If that’s the case, then it’s not necessarily a problem with Azure itself.

But by not having a checklist you avoid that your blind spots get exposed.

Why would you want to prevent your development team from learning about their blind spots?

I tried to make a joke about the tensions of security and accountability.

So you can move faster to the next features obviously. Refactoring for secure code is time consuming, and clearly wasted cycles as the code is working. /s

It seems to me that this sort of work is a usecase that’s actually very fitting use case for LLM agents and the like. Because they can be trained and tuned to find commonly known vulnerability patterns.

Here, something that looks like the thing is a strong signal, as long as the probability is high enough to be useful.

Remember Netflix‘ chaos monkey?

I tried to make sense of middle eastern politics once. My conclusion has been „It’s complicated.“

Reminds me of this (by now completely outdated) middle east friendship chart I once came across.

I'd go to you for information before I'd go to the people who say, "It's really all pretty simple..."

Yes - but complicated by what.

Apparently movement plus focus on the distance has a calming, clearing effect on the mind.

Do you have a similar experience when walking or running (deliberately)?

Rumi (the Sufi mystic) apparently walked and turned in circles in order to contemplate. The tradition merges music and movement with philosophy and religious mysticism.

Walking, dancing or manual labor (for example gardening or cleaning) can all be done in a meditative way.

But these are likely different types of meditation that have different effects. Even just a calm, sitting meditations might be vastly different from another, depending on the meditation object.

Of course there are people who lean into specific types over the others as you describe, but I think many of these activities share a common core and experience.

I buy it. I'm not really into meditation, but am deep thinking/reflection.

I found I got by far the most intense deep thinking sessions while mowing the lawn with a push mower. It was a large-ish yard, took around an hour. It's boring, monotonous, requires no thought. Keeps your hands occupied so you won't be tempted to 'check something real quick'. And lastly, loud enough to block any other sounds that could make your mind drift(sirens, birds, dogs barking, etc).

Yes, everything can be mediatative but it's more the matter of how you do it. You can do gardening but still renumerate about past and future. It's all about focusing on what you're doing and nothing else, centralising all 6 senses to one point of fucus.

LLMs have a lot of issues with facts, because they are probabilistic and you typically only get one answer per query instead of multiple covering a larger space.

However, they are still useful in these cases if you know the above and use their output as a starting point to think and ask questions.

I think you must be right to _some_ degree. The article illustrates that this org doesn’t know why they are doing certain things.

But there‘s something psychologically powerful happening with the interaction of AI. I think we overestimate our ability to be rational and underestimate how essily influenced we are.
