    Performance-related command-line flags represent qualitative changes to restartability, buffering, or concurrency, not levels on a continuous performance dial.

    Their words/Z, /J, and /MT are not levels on a performance slider. They change restartability, buffering, and concurrency.

    A server's real network throughput can exceed what its single fastest port suggests when a protocol supports channel bonding across multiple links.

    Their wordsSMB Multichannel can make an old NAS with several gigabit interfaces much more capable than one might assume from looking at any single Ethernet port.

    Craftsmanship, taste, and human judgment remain valuable in software development despite AI-assisted coding tools.

    taste

    Their wordsThere is value in good taste, there is value in craftsmanship, and there is value in human judgment.

    AI-assisted coding will generate a lot of low-quality output that developers will need to clean up, even as it also produces good results.

    Their wordsI think that there will be lots of work for us cleaning up after the slop, but if you know what you're doing AI augmented development is going to get you some amazing results

    Impressive one-shot AI coding demos are not a good way to judge AI coding ability.

    Their wordsPeople should not be judging AI-augmented coding by "1 shots."

    Programming is essentially the craft of turning ambiguous ideas into precise, specific instructions.

    Their wordsIt's not trivial to one shot something unique, because programming is the art of making the ambiguous incredibly specific through sculpting.

    As AI takes over more of the coding process, clearly specifying goals and exercising good judgment will matter more than ever.

    writingcompilers

    Their wordsAs high-level programming cedes way to the prose compiler, making your goals and specs well understood to the ambiguity loop and showing good judgment is going to matter more than ever.
