By the way, I did start on the thing. Going okay so far, but so many small things to wade through :-) The abstract concept in your brain has a luxury to not care of that, but the code has to.

@fribbledom as soon as it will be able to "realize" anything for itself it probably would decide that there's no point in creating any of it.

Mastodon Feed"Excessive architecture" in programming, such as most of the "SOLID" practices I've seen (every class has an interface "just in case") is a worse form of "premature optimisation" (nevermind how out-of-context that quote is taken) than performance tuning.
Hate hate hate. Interfaces with a single implementor shouldn't exist.
OOP programmers should feel bad for the mess they have orchestrated.

it's called GPT-4 because they've finally reached stage 4 of Simulacra and Simulation
> The fourth stage is pure simulacrum, in which the simulacrum has no relationship to any reality whatsoever. Here, signs merely reflect other signs and any claim to reality on the part of images or signs is only of the order of other such claims. This is a regime of total equivalency, where cultural products need no longer even pretend to be real in a naïve sense, because the experiences of consumers' lives are so predominantly artificial that even claims to reality are expected to be phrased in artificial, "hyperreal" terms. Any naïve pretension to reality as such is perceived as bereft of critical self-awareness, and thus as oversentimental.
