Nyquist Limit:The frequency of changes in tech is invalidating our understanding

It's an interesting metaphor, but the math is not directly applicable to software engineering, because the shape of the problem (not to mention the terms) doesn't translate. The main problem is that shannon-nyquist is concerned with discrete representation of a continuous/analog signal. But TA is applying it…

I liked the commentary and the metaphor with the Nyquist theorem. Mathematically speaking it's invalid but the problem being discussed is real - when the velocity of code generation (accelerated by LLMs) outpaces human cognitive capacity to review, test, and mentally model the system, structural coherence collapses.…

Funnily enough, there are techniques that allows to go under the Nyquist limit, eg compressive sensing. I don't like the analogy, it supposed that AI generated code will always be badly organized underneath if it is automatic, however, as time goes, I find the code better and better..
