I started reading this out of curiosity, thinking: that's such a far fetched thought, I'm curious about what the author wants to say.
I think he makes a good point about execution vs. readability, and the actual need for the latter, drawing analogies to earlier abstractions.
I'm still skeptical about low level language generation (tbh, letting an LLM handle memory at this point of maturity feels scary to me.. leaks etc)... But overall very interesting writeup and many points that I agree with.
I haven't been actively monitoring for security vulnerabilities ever since I switched from system administration to software development a few decades back. These days, I just read news that talks about high profile vulnerabilities - I do see CVE a lot more than cert.
I switched from Samsung Galaxy (first S, then S3) to OnePlus years back, and I've been a happy camper.
I currently have an OnePlus 9, I've heard no so good (compared to previous) reviews of their newer models, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. My current phone has been running great for multiple years, minimal bloatware, would recommend.
