Most classical engineering fields deal with probabilistic system components all of the time. In fact I'd go as far as to say that inability to deal with probabilistic components is disqualifying from many engineering endeavors. Process engineers for example have to account for human error rates. On a given production line with humans in a loop, the operators will sometimes screw up. Designing systems to detect these errors (which are highly probabilistic!), mitigate them, and reduce the occur...| Simon Willison's Weblog

Choose the least capable feature/tool/pattern/etc. suitable for a given purpose. This optimizes for the capability/tractability tradeoff: the more things you can do with something, the harder it is to reason about. Using a less capable thing...| Josh Beckman

In the last episode—Is software engineering a thing?—I (apparently controversially) suggested that software is the reification of thought, and that software engineering is thus the art of reifying thought, and that thus there can’t be any single one-size-fits-all software engineering … Continue reading →| Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programmers
In the title I’m kindof punning on the word “a” (it’s my blog, and I get to do what I want). Is there a single thing, software engineering, that all people making software should (or could, or would find to be beneficial) do?| Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programmers
In my latest project, SweetFriend, I created a comprehensive diabetes management app that helps users track their glucose levels, log meals and exercises, and receive personalized insights from LLMs. This post details the technical aspects of the project, focusing on the innovative integrations and the architecture that powers SweetFriend. I built this project at the PennApps hackathon, the demo site can be found here, the GitHub repo here, and the DevPost blog here.| dmicz devblog
