<p>I overall think the <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> technology world/sphere is about 70% there in development of systems, that everyone can use with a reasonable amount of effort, but the lapse set is affordability and <a href="/tags/disabilityaccessibility/" rel="tag">#DisabilityAccessibility</a> (mostly for mobility issues). Likewise it&#x27;s mostly in the <a href="/tags/hardware/" rel="tag">#Hardware</a> not <a href="/tags/software/" rel="tag">#software</a> nor <a href="/tags/os/" rel="tag">#OS</a> spheres, (70/10/20 split) which is why not finding much if any chatter on the Hardware problems is so disheartening, because it needs the most work.</p>

<p>Just had a sighted person tell me they often use features, clients and programs that were made for us, they don’t use screen readers, but they use accessibility features, even when they do not have disabilities, but also clients like a blind Mastodon client, or a text editor designed with screen readers in mind such as the ones I list on my Tools page at the end, as an example, because they said, the interface is 1000 times cleaner, there’s a lot of keyboard shortcuts, clutter free interface, even though the UI is basic, speed, less bloat, and a whole host of other things including, but not limited to, and never having to put up with distracting animation nonsense. You know software development has vastly sank in quality when sighted folk are using blind clients.

I recently reread Fred Brooks&#x27;s 1986 classic No Silver Bullet, which you can find here: <a href="https://www.cs.unc.edu/techreports/86-020.pdf" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.cs.unc.edu/techreports/86-020.pdf"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.cs.unc.edu/techreports/86-</span><span class="invisible">020.pdf</span></a> . I think it is useful to re-consider Brooks&#x27;s distinction between the essential complexity versus the accidental complexity of software development in light of the recent mania behind using LLMs for coding. Which of these types of complexity does LLM use address? Does it introduce more of either class of complexity?<br><br>In light of what I&#x27;ve seen, LLM use seems to provide the illusion of addressing both kinds of complexity in the short-term while it increases essential complexity in the long-term. It may or may not reduce some accidental complexity; the verdict is still out, as far as I can tell. Judging from the recent leak of the Claude Code front end source code, LLMs seem to introduce an enormous amount of new accidental complexity.<br><br>To the extent that LLMs are in the category of what Brooks calls automatic programming, this quote he shares from David Parnas is important:<br><p>Automatic programming always has been a euphemism for programming with a higher-level language than was presently available to the programmer.<br></p>The &quot;higher-level language&quot; LLMs trade in is English, which Dijkstra has strongly argued makes for a poor programming language. But even if, contra Dijkstra, it turns out LLMs somehow change that equation, we are still stuck with Brooks&#x27;s argument that higher-level programming languages largely only address accidental complexity. They do not get at the essence of what makes creating software systems difficult.<br><br>Taken together, all this seems to suggest that LLM use in coding is a net negative, and if the above is to be believed it will result in worse outcomes, not better, over the long haul. Definitely re-read Brooks and see if you agree.<br><br><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/genai/" rel="tag">#GenAI</a> <a href="/tags/generativeai/" rel="tag">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="/tags/agenticai/" rel="tag">#AgenticAI</a> <a href="/tags/llms/" rel="tag">#LLMs</a> <a href="/tags/claudecode/" rel="tag">#ClaudeCode</a> <a href="/tags/software/" rel="tag">#software</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> <a href="/tags/dev/" rel="tag">#dev</a> <a href="/tags/softwareengineering/" rel="tag">#SoftwareEngineering</a> <a href="/tags/softwaredevelopment/" rel="tag">#SoftwareDevelopment</a><br>

<p>I realized that if I was writing a program and it didn&#x27;t always work, I had a choice: I could either fix it, or call it AI.<br></p>--David Parnas<br><br><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/genai/" rel="tag">#GenAI</a> <a href="/tags/generativeai/" rel="tag">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="/tags/agenticai/" rel="tag">#AgenticAI</a> <a href="/tags/llms/" rel="tag">#LLMs</a> <a href="/tags/claude/" rel="tag">#Claude</a> <a href="/tags/claudecode/" rel="tag">#ClaudeCode</a> <a href="/tags/chatgpt/" rel="tag">#ChatGPT</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> <a href="/tags/dev/" rel="tag">#dev</a> <a href="/tags/software/" rel="tag">#software</a> <a href="/tags/softwaredevelopment/" rel="tag">#SoftwareDevelopment</a> <a href="/tags/softwareengineering/" rel="tag">#SoftwareEngineering</a><br>
