Towards Self-Driving Codebases

    This article hints at it, but I think the blocker is environment.

    How can you self drive an app on windows? There's no clear UI framework, design pattern, nothing which can bullet proof your app.

    I bet you'd have better luck on Plan 9.

    Remove the choice. Make frameworks which have limited options which are usable by default.

      Spot on about environment.

      I recently built a calculator to try to quantify the gains an org could expect as they become more "AI-native." I tried to account for a bunch of things including env, which I call "AI roadway," but I'm definitely missing codebase readiness (thank you, author), and also bottleneck analysis. Even without those considerations, though, gains are usually modest. It's hard to get to 2x.

      Tool is here if useful: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;timvasil.com&#x2F;ai-native" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;timvasil.com&#x2F;ai-native
