People have been going nuts all throughout recorded history, that's really nothing new.
The only scary thing is that they have ever more power to change the world and influence others without being forced to grapple with that responsibility...
Also a lot of errors would be called "typos", not errors. Such as some edge cases missing in the theorem statement which technically makes the theorem false. As long as there's a similar theorem in the same spirit that can be proven, that's what the original was all along.
Have you ever read the (full) text of any bill that has been passed during the last couple of decades? How about reading all of them?
So are you proposing people vote on them without reading them? Or that we write very short bills aimed at a non-lawyer audience, effectively leaving most decisions up to the interpretation by courts? Or something else?
Assuming they even have code reviews - in your experience, in a situation where the person writing the code didn't check if it already exists, the reviewer will check that and then tell them to delete their already finished implementation and use that existing thing?
> models deployed in critical applications such as finance, law, and healthcare.
We went really quickly from "obviously noone will ever use these models for important things" to "we will at the first opportunity, so please at least try to limit the damage by making the models better"...
Most musicians (i.e. non-famous ones) get most of their income from teaching students. I don't think such a model makes sense for developers
(though who knows, maybe at some time in the future there will be significant numbers of people programming as a hobby and wanting to be coached by a human...)
Addiction is a matter of degree. There's a bunch of polls where a large majority of people strongly agree that "they spend too much time on social media". Are they addicts? Are they "coosing to use it"? Are they saying it's too much because that's a trendy thing to say?
I'd guess that's mostly because C has been around long enough to be chosen for it and people who are into that kind of thing don't urgently need more than one contest, regardless of language...
- it's possible to transfer knowledge, as demonstrated by the fact that human civilization exists. It's not always easy, doesn't always succeed, and reading is a part of that, but it's possible and happening. I'm confused about your intended meaning in claiming otherwise.
- It's very difficult to distinguish between (especially one's own) understanding and a false impression thereof. To an overwhelming degree, the main realistic way is applying the knowledge, which is easiest when far removed from the activity of reading.
- One's upbringing, environment, social circle, etc., strongly influence one's propensity for reading, both for work and for pleasure. People change, especially as long as they're young, but even adults do in a major way according to conditions.
Well, if you're using GRPC anyway, and have the protocol buffers already... It's hard to resist the temptation after a few hours of installing broken package versions.
Incidentally, I suspect this is the spiritual origin of microservoces...
