antirez · x · 2026-09-27

Continuing the discussion with mitsuhiko, antirez argues that due to RL effects, the way AI writes code will diverge more and more from what we used to consider good and comfortable. He now only evaluates outcomes for extended periods — as long as the code delivers and the system understands his big-picture ideas, he's fine. He also laments having no time yet to hand-write small poetry-style programs.
