"Federate, don't concentrate: balkanisation is freedom.
- Vulnerability triage in the LLM era."
"The political instinct that calls federation "balkanisation" inverts the engineering reality. In a system whose sole central producer has just publicly conceded it cannot keep up, balkanisation (multiple producers, multiple identifier spaces, interoperability-by-design rather than interoperability-by-monopoly) is freedom: freedom from single-point-of-failure, freedom for specialised producers to enrich the slices they understand best, and freedom for consumers to compose the synthesis that fits their environment."

If humans have to review all the code LLMs write, LLMs will never produce the productivity benefits they're supposed to. But if humans DON'T have to review all the code LLMs write, what do we need Rails for?
Frameworks are designed to make coding more palatable for humans. But a LLM will happily churn out boilerplate all day. So what does Rails add? Who needs labor-saving if a machine is doing all the labor?
They have to emphasize how Rails code is easier to review, because that's the only way Rails is relevant in their brave new world
