Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

you know, a lot of times like people are, it's just like, people are just hitting okay or whatever, or they're reviewing it for like stupid, like syntax stuff or whatever.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

It's not actually like reviewing the big picture of like, does this actually do what we want it to do?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Not everyone, but like at some point, like sometimes, yeah, even for me, like not all my code reviews are great.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Like some of my code reviews, I'm just like, it's on this day.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

I'm just like, ah, let's just get this through.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

yeah you know have you ever seen the meme where it's like you submit like a 10 line change and like 100 nitpicks on your code review and then you submit like a 3 000 line edition and it's like lgtm you know merging wave it through yeah exactly i get that i think there's some truth to that uh yeah i mean i i i think it's it's tricky because like for better or worse like software engineering is changing and i think people are just gonna have to like

deal with that.

I think for people who was, somebody wrote this the other day, it's like for people who are like, maybe it's Andre Karpathy.

Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

It's just like for people who, you know, fancy that, who always loved software engineering because they like,

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

to build things, those people are fine.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

But for people who like software engineering, because they like the details of writing code, those people are kind of hosed because, you know, those days are, are, are limited at best.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

you can create it.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And when you toss it up for code review or whatever, like people don't nitpick it because the stakes are lower, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

They're just like, ah, it's internal.

It's not going to go out to a customer.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

That's true.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

You know?

So the, the problem is when you raise the stakes, when it's like going out to a customer and you really have to worry about it, then it becomes harder to ship.

Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Right.

And then the, then like your enthusiasm goes,
