The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source OpenAI's new text classifier, teach yourself CS, programming philosophies are about state, you might not need Lodash & overrated scalability (News)
Feb 6, 2023
OpenAI is developing an AI classifier to differentiate between human and machine-generated text, facing some unique challenges. A new guide simplifies the journey for self-taught computer science learners. A recent revelation reveals that diverse programming philosophies can essentially be summed up by understanding state management. The discussion also questions the necessity of libraries like Lodash for modern development. Lastly, the idea that scalability might be overrated adds a refreshing perspective to coding and business practices.

Episode notes
AI Text Classifier
- OpenAI's new AI text classifier is not very accurate at distinguishing between AI-written and human-written text.
- This highlights the challenge of detecting AI-generated content and the ongoing arms race in this area.
Self-Taught CS
- Bootcamp grads and self-taught engineers can deepen their CS knowledge.
- They should study nine core computing subjects for 100-200 hours each using textbooks and video lectures.
State-Oriented Programming
- Charles Genswap suggests programming philosophies address state management.
- Object-oriented programming encapsulates state, while functional programming minimizes state modification.
