@hailey This year is definitely the year of the bicycle to the grocery store.

Could we design a skyscraper & sewer system with the intent of creating ecological niches all through the building? Some of the work with green roofs touches on this... can your building handle rain like a forest, not produce fast run-off? Maybe even act as a water sink for less well designed nearby areas. You collect the runoff and get all the moss and plants your parking garage neighbor can't be bothered with.

Don't be mad about the bugs in the walls, design walls that attract the best bugs.

@PaulWermer @ajsadauskas @futurebird The problem is that it's always going to be an extra cost; increasing the price of apartments and increasing the risk to the developer. Highrise buildings are already green by simply being extremely land efficient, anything that makes it more difficult to build highrise is impacting on that massive environmental gain for minor additions.

In five years time, some CTO will review the mysterious outage or technical debt in their organisation.

They will unearth a mess of poorly written, poorly -documented, barely-functioning code their staff don't understand.

They will conclude that they did not actually save money by replacing human developers with LLMs.

@TootSweet @ajsadauskas They'll just completely rewrite it from scratch using a newer LLM and that will be considered normal. In those 5yrs the percentage of developers who remember the idea of code having longevity will be tiny.
