> Don’t abuse DRY, a little duplication is better than unnecessary dependencies.
That's an interesting thing to include. I agree with this point in principle, but I've found that Claude, at least, duplicates logic FAR too often and needs nudging in the other direction.
What would you title this article to make it less "clickbait"? This is one of the least clickbait headlines I've seen, it's literally just describing what's in the article.
> Realistically, what are the odds that our not very large or clever brains really do have the potential to understand the entire universe
My belief on this is not entirely rational, of course, but it seems to me that there's probably a sort of Turing-completeness for intelligence/understanding, where as soon as a mind starts being able to understand abstraction, given enough time and resources, it can probably understand the entire universe.
It would also be presumptuous to say that brainfuck is equally powerful to every other programming language that exists, and yet we know it to be true. The fundamental reason we can prove that Turing-complete languages are equivalent to each other is that we can build the same abstractions in both, so intuitively it feels like a similar principle holds for human intelligence.
