    I am developing a formal theorem I call the Verification Complexity Barrier. In a nutshell, if a program has some components `n` that have connectivity factor of `k > 0` , then verification complexity increases superlinearly for each new component. Therefore the time required

    Good illustration of fractal complexity in software dev I often think about.

    Lots of thoughts on this wrt agentic coding. OP poses the real question at the end: who decides what "correct" means? Formal verification is great and all, but who verifies the verifiers? Can we really imagine handing it all over to AI someday? leodemoura.github.io/blog/2026/02/2…

    The "size" of a coding task is not intrinsic to the task. It exists between tasks in the graph of their relationships. That is mostly hidden and changes over time. This is why estimating software work is so hard, and why AI doesn't magically fix it.

    ~9 months ago I predicted the emergence of “open source, closed spec” Many ai founders have said “I can screen share the code, I will never disclose our evals” Now @tldraw
