I was tired of wearing hoodies every day and my sweaters weren't warm enough, so I got a bouclƩ "coat" at 40% off in an end-of-season sale. (It wouldn't be warm enough for a winter coat. I call it my house coat.) Kona thinks it's the best thing ever. She buries her face in it and makes biscuits, purring to beat the band, until my arm goes numb.

Verification debt: the hidden cost of AI-generated code

Hidden? How the hell can it be hidden when every single critic has told you about it years ago, and have been sayings so ever since?

I know that overuse of AI results in rapid loss of cognitive abilities, but c'mon. Having to review the output of an unreliable markov chain should not be surprising! We've been doing code reviews for decades! For humans too, and they usually write more reliable code than AI.

Sheesh.

Folks, they're calling it "stagflation". Not a lot of people know about this word, it's an old-fashioned word like "groceries", but we're gonna bring it back, and you'll be hearing it more and more
