AI and readable APIs

In the AI age the importance of readable APIs goes up, as this can mean the difference between not reading the code because it’s too much, and easily reading it to verify it is correct because it’s tiny. It’s been pretty clear that one of the superpowers of AI development is that it happily deals with enormous amounts of boilerplate and workarounds in a way that would drive a human insane. But we need to be careful of this, and notice that this is what is happening.

Using Claude for spellchecking and grammar

On the pytest discord channel Sviatoslav mentioned a pull request with a bunch of spelling and grammar fixes. We had a discussion about the morality of not disclosing that it was an AI driven pull request up front, but what was pretty clear was that the quality was surprisingly high. Since I have a project with extensive documentation that I’ve spelled checked thoroughly this interested me. I write all the documentation with PyCharm which has built in spelling and grammar checks, so I was thinking it would be hard to find many errors.

@b0rk totally get you there. I've abandoned Django a while back but recently I made two projects in it because it just was a perfect fit and it's so much fun.

If I may recommend something: I've used https://iommi.rocks for the frontend.

iommi - Django Power Tools

iommi is a productivity toolkit for Django: ship forms, tables, pages, and an admin with tiny amounts of code and zero boilerplate.

@daringfireball Moving fast IS breaking things. The faster, the more breakage. Just ask Mao or Stalin.

If you run too fast you don't notice when the direction is wrong until it's far too late. If democrats go this way they will be the problem too.

And got rejected with "Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality", I guess 500+ levels is not enough to be a game 🤷 @rejected

How about no.

Me: iCloud sharing only works if the app is already published on the App Store, which means I test the app before submitting to App Review
Apple: Please provide a sysdiagnose
