There is no such a thing as a 10x engineer. Anyone who appears as 10x only do whatever that maintains that illusion. (don't help anyone else, don't do support, keep all knowledge in head, bad documentation, etc)

But many would list the things you've just listed as table stakes for any 10x engineer.

Yes this is what I call "the accountant/spreadsheet theory", and I think this is the most likely scenario.

What I do is turn off copilot, do the design, get in the zone and enable copilot. This way I do not get it to slow me down, otherwise I just wait for it to do API calls. Even then, I turn it off when it create complete wrong implementations.

Problem is it doesn't know the layer of utilities we have and just rewrite everything from scratch. Which is too much duplicatation. I have to now delete it and type correct code again.

One advantage I have seen is that, it can defenitely translate / simplify what my collegues say, fix typos or partial-words. Which is very useful when you are working with lot of different people.

Could you elaborate further? I am a skilled immigrant in the UK. I pay my taxes and have not used any benefits. I even pay for my medication; the only free service I have used is a GP appointment or a hospital scan, which was likely covered by the IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge).

What have I done to make the country worse off?

It's nothing against you personally. I'm sure many immigrants are good people and some scarce skilled workers must be imported. But there seems to be a desire from the top to import too many foreign workers across the West. This contributes to the low wages and lack of opportunities described in the article.

The UK also has outsourced a lot of manufacturing, which further worsens the job market. I don't know how many hardware engineers are imported unnecessarily or else part of "offshoring," but by all indications I've seen personally the number may be significant. This is from an outside US perspective, so take it with a grain of salt.

What about exports? do you want to stop those too

Kenny is great, I used Kenny Shape to draw Yaksha lang logo :)

Looks impressive - it can do lot of PDF modifications using a single static binary.

Good stuff, I like how individual tokens have colours in the tree view. it seems like a visual syntax tree.

Thanks for your kind words

How are syntax/structure enforced? Scratch/Blockly uses shapes to ensure things work, while node editors will disallow invalid connections.

As of January 12, 2025, PWCT2 will check rules (defined by each component) to determine the allowed parents and children. This functionality was previously applied in PWCT1 and is now implemented in PWCT2 as well. This prevents composition errors; for example, (Else) or (Elseif) components can't be added outside the (If) component.

In PWCT1 we provide two modes 1. (Free Editor + VPL Compiler) which allows syntax errors and can detect them 2. (Syntax Directed Editor) which prevent errors.

In PWCT2 at the current stage we provide (Free Editor), The (VPL Compiler) will be added to detect errors and the SDE will be added to prevent them as we did in PWCT1.

What you think of samples and FL Studio / DAWs?

I think LLM web applications need a big red warning (non interactive, I don't want more cookie dialogs) like in cigarettes.

> LLM generated content need to be verified.

Every LLM web app I have used has a disclaimer along these lines prominently featured in the UI. Maybe the disclaimer isn't bright red with gifs of flashing alarms, but the warnings are there for the people who would pay attention to them in the first place.

Unfortunately, even after 2 years of ChatGPT and countless news stories about it, people still don't realize that LLMs can be wrong.

There maybe should be a bright red flashing disclaimer at this point.
