This was my approach to a large rewrite I'm working on. First create the multiple layers of test suite to map out existing behavior at the unit, API, and integration level (something that should have been done incrementally over the 20 years this software has existed), then predicate the new code on the tests. It's been remarkably effective.

They're pro-“fertility talking points” at least, but rarely in favor of economic and social policies that encourage child rearing.

I'm not sure it's really from the lack of change, though. I've used Claude, Kimi, and other LLMs to write a ton of Perl that's jacked up with weird sugaring packages like Moose and Function::Parameters with reified types, and they seem to pick up the new idioms pretty effortlessly. It's a really unexpected fluency, frankly.

For us nerds in the Portland/PNW area, the Rice Museum out in Hillsboro—despite a name suggesting it has an exhaustive display of rice varieties—has a terrific collection of large and unique mineral specimens. https://www.ricenorthwestmuseum.org

I've most frequently heard this referred to as “Gell-Mann Amnesia,” and yes, LLMs are fertile ground to find it.
