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.

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.

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

Because capitalism turns everything into a commodity. They did so with food, our data, and our intellectual and creative output. And AI is now about securing a means to produce those commodities without needing any humans at all. This is what the so-called "leftists", which are actually humanists, were always fighting against. And that's the reason why capitalists tend to lean towards right-wing ideologies and, often enough, even outright fascism.

True. The window of uncertainty closed somewhere between the thirties and the sixties. (It took some decades to learn the differences between physical and abstract machines.)
