Anthropic claims its engineers are shipping 8x as much code per quarter now as they did in 2022.

I don't know how to yell this any louder: EVERY LINE OF CODE IS A LIABILITY.
@wwahammy "Well yes, but what if we just don't care about liabilities?"
(I do care)

3 major errors in every 1000 lines of production code I think is the metric.

Unless you have 8x as many reviewers, that's bad. Like not just a little bad, but really bad.
This is such a house of cards built on debt and cheap power.

The 'number of lines' count as measure of productivity was already wrong in the 80's ... -

@wwahammy Sidenote: Anthropic claims many things all the time, many of which later turn out to be lies. I hope this one is a lie.

@wwahammy Code that writes code, exponentially so.

@wwahammy And power is only cheap in monetary terms, and money is just debt in the form of promises, from people who can't be trusted.

@wwahammy it's only technical debt if coded by humans. AI agents create leverage

@wwahammy
The 'number of lines' count as measure of productivity was already wrong in the 80's ...@dyrathror @wwahammy I don't program seriously these days but back in the day (1980s) I used to code in APL.
APL was famous for its one liners.
So if Claude rewrote my APL code in Rust would it take up less than 8 times as many lines, and would it be as efficient and easier to read?
Noting APL one liners were never very easy to read, which is why they were, or should have been, heavily commented.
Just asking. -

@n_dimension@infosec.exchange @wwahammy@treehouse.systems That's assuming skilled programmers, not fancy autocorrect generating the code, though.

@wwahammy What was it Linus Torvalds said to Linus YouTube?
"Anyone who thinks lines of code is a useful metric is too stupid to run a tech company."
