I have noticed, in recent years, a trend towards outfits not accepting (or ignoring) problem reports on their software.
Of course, there's issues of available talent, and on the other side there's people who have been happy to submit bogus problem reports. But, I wonder if this approach to software development would accelerate or reverse that trend? (Another trend is towards baking logic into hardware -- especially for consumer oriented goods. That, of course, has its own issues with problem reports...) -- Raul On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 1:59 PM 'Skip Cave' via Chat <[email protected]> wrote: > > *Open-Source Code Generator Is Very Good at Writing in C* > > > *ZDNetLiam TungMarch 7, 2022* > > Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers have launched an automated > code generator model trained on multiple programming languages, which they > said they found was very good at writing code in C.
