The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Matt Bornstein no published score: only 2 usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q And what is your mental model on, on coding specifically? Will there be like fewer engineers who are just higher powered or sort of whether fewer junior engineers? How should we think about

A I think the best way to think about this is simply that we're going to have more developers. I, I think it's very unlikely that like we're going to shrink development teams because we have amazing new tools. Like that's just kind of not how these markets have worked in the past. I think exactly the opposite is going to happen. It's like, we're going to be creating so much great software and it's going to be so accessible to so many people who may work at a big company or may just be sort of hacking on the weekend. You can't anthropomorphize these models, right? A model is a file on a hard drive in a computer somewhere. And when you run a Python script, you can transform one piece of data into another piece of data like that. That's what this is. And programmers, um, you know, programming is a fundamentally creative job, right? You are literally creating things in the most strict sense of the word, which is you're creating software. It doesn't exist before. And that's something only a person Can actually do at some level of abstraction. So I, I, I personally think this is a huge boon for, for programmers, and you have to change the way that you're working, and it's like a huge productivity boost, and, and I think that's like more, it creates more not less.
