Useful ideas on supply-chain resilience assessment from Todd Gorsuch at Customer Science: 'Ecosystem Health Metrics: Resilience & Redundancy'
"Executives face fragile value chains, cloud concentration risk, and AI-driven dependencies that can break customer experiences in seconds. Leaders need ecosystem health metrics that track resilience and redundancy across partners, platforms, and processes."

🇳🇴 has much more left due to state stewardship

Someone in my last thread on the topic quoted an unnamed startup CEO saying something like "it only has to work until we get acquired," and that sums up our so-called industry's approach to code quality perfectly. Claude Code obviously looks like a power multiplier when nobody gives a shit about the long or even medium term.

Incredible thread.
Answered some of my questions about what people think the future will be if everyone codes like this. It seems to be: instead of thinking about constraints of any kind or "what is the most efficient way to do Y or the most readable way to do Z?" answer the question, "what is the most brute force way to perform X if I pretend that there are no resource constraints and nothing needs to make sense as long as I see some sort of test passing? Just ship it with spaghetti code.
What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
reminder that anthropic ran (and is still running) an ENTIRE AD CAMPAIGN around "Claude code is written with claude code" and after the source was leaked that has got to be the funniest self-own in the history of advertising because OH BOY IT SHOWS.
it's hard to get across in microblogging format just how big of a dumpster fire this thing is, because what it "looks like" is "everything is done a dozen times in a dozen different ways, and everything is just sort of jammed in anywhere. to the degree there is any kind of coherent structure like 'tools' and 'agents' and whatnot, it's entirely undercut by how the entire rest of the code might have written in some special condition that completely changes how any such thing might work." I have read a lot of unrefined, straight from the LLM code, and Claude code is a masterclass in exactly what you get when you do that - an incomprehensible mess.
