Yeah I really think with AI tools for synthesis the old dogma that formal methods are to expensive and cumbersome can be revisited.

I’ll take a look! I’ve been going through Algebra of Programming and the JFP Pearls and it shows how nice FP can be. Structural recursion and program calculation has been refreshing.

There needs to be an alternative teaching of computer science. One where the semantics of a language and construction thereof is taught before its syntax and parsing. One where algorithms is algebra and only later do you learn about representation, memory, and performance.

I have had the same thoughts while working with Agda. Use LLMs for proof search. I've been revisiting Bird and Meertens' work with this new lens.

City doomerism is the regurgitation of social media algorithms optimized for rage bait. A decent indicator that they have stopped critically consuming media and their other opinions are equally shallow and worthless.

Writing code will be a pedagogical tool like practicing math by hand before being able to use a calculator.

Writing code can be a bottleneck, but it also builds understanding and develops taste. I'm hopeful both can be had with tooling that will become table stakes to handle the influx of infinite monkeys coding. Such tools will be equally helpful with legacy code.

Currently in Atlanta, have been pleasantly surprised with the tree coverage, neighborhoods, and bikeability of the Eastside via the Beltline.

The more the AI bubble inflates the more I want dependent types and simple functional program calculation.

I’ve found it to be a great personal litmus test when engaging with someone. Why are we punishing children for things out of their control? Peer stigma of having subsidized lunch vs. normal hot lunches. Improvements in focus and test scores. Expand to breakfast. Provide access during holidays.
