Sturgeon's Law predates LLMs by decades: 90% of everything is crap.


Sturgeon's law is generous to the output of LLMs.


Fair use?


No, it isn't, wealth is good. More readily creating and delivering value is good.


Wealth, at a reasonable level of distribution.

Total wealth is a meaningless metric.


What is a definition of "reasonable"?


Usually it's "anyone with more money than me has too much".


Billionaires and pop stars taking pleasure trips to orbit while millions of humans elsewhere are starving is probably not it


Planning is very useful even though things never go according to plan, honest.


Also who writes the plan is completely disconnected from reality, so the plan is completely useless.


The context of this conversation is the actions of a senior developer. If the senior developer allows someone else to write the plan in isolation (thus allowing a completely useless plan to be devised), then they’re by definition of the senior role, not a senior developer, right?

A senior developer is not a passive position.


Sitting on a Swiss ball hurts me less than a chair. For the first few days it even enforced perfect posture, but that effect went away pretty quickly.


Fixed goals and flexible tactics, I say. PG comes along and says it much better...


Or 5.


Nice solver! I did optimize the sieve a little...

N = 100000 primes = [False, True] * N // 2 for i in range(3, N, 2):

    if primes[i]:
        k = i ** 2
        while k < N:
            primes[k] = False
            k += i * 2


N = 100000 prime = [False, True] * (N // 2) primes = [] for i in range(3, N, 2):

    if prime[i]:
        primes.append(i)
        k = i ** 2
        while k < N:
            prime[k] = False
            k += i * 2
useful = [ str(i) for i in primes ]

# Enter your clues

for i in useful: if i[0] == '6' and ('3' in i) and len(str(i)) == 5: print(i)

Subarus tend not to make it to the used-car market because they stay wonderful forever. ;-)
