Our readingWhat is a korrent?

A company on a monolith cannot use AI on it: no model in the next eighteen months will hold that codebase, so the monolith has to be broken up or rewritten.

Drawn from what Steve Yegge said

Should software be one program or many small services?under our view: A codebase too large for a model to hold has to be split, whatever it cost before

What Steve Yegge actually said

  1. Steve Yegge Software engineer of four decades who spent years at Amazon and Google
    If you're a monolith, you're kind of hosed because I told you the ceiling's going up for what they can do, but it ain't ever going to hit your monolith. They will never fit in the context window and you're never going to be able to never in the next 18 months be able to tell a model go fix my monolith. You have to break it up.
