Unix and AI: why deleting code improves software

Can deleting code improve a product? Discover the Unix philosophy, software simplicity, and why artificial intelligence makes writing less and understanding more increasingly urgent.

We explore Ken Thompson’s lesson, Unix modularity, the risks of measuring productivity by lines of code, and how generative AI can make complexity more affordable. We also examine when simplifying helps and when maintaining controls, redundancies, and features is essential.
