Genuine question: how will this "software for one" outlive its creator? I realize that if it were truly intended for just one user, it wouldn't matter, but in this specific case, the software is used by family members, so...
Yeah, this is a fear I keep bumping up against. Even relatively simple things like setting up pihole for my home network has pretty severe bus factor - if I get hit by a bus, no one else in the family would be able to fix the internet, short of chucking all the current hardware and asking the ISP tech to set up from scratch...
IMAP usually means that mail is stored on the provider server even if one can download and delete. Furthermore POP3 is a trivial protocol that could be operated via telnet before everybody went TLS.
The real reason I'm still using POP3 is that I'm using the mailboxes that are bundled with my domains. One on the registrars announced IMAP support a few days ago. All the others are still on POP3 probably because POP3 servers have been available since forever.
It doesn't, I get that it's _a_ benchmark. It's just not a good or insightful one, and having it posted so often on HN feels like low quality spam at this point
The issue is that benchmarks that look insightful will end up being gamed by labs quickly (Goodharts law)
The best LLM benchmarks test around the margins of those behaviors, tasks that are difficult and correlate with usefulness while being removed enough to stay unpolluted
"Waterfall" got a bad rep because it meant "we stay months in the requirements gathering, then months design phase, then months in development, then months in validation". If you compress "months" to days/hours, what you obtain is something that nobody from the 90s would recognize as "waterfall"; it is not the end of agility, far from it.
