Ming's Spell Compendium #6 -- A Generalized Curry–Howard Proof Searcher and Program Synthesizer (Crackpotizen Edition)

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:18:37 +0800

“Crackpotizen” combines “crackpot” and “citizen”: formal methods for the rest of us.

This is a cultural adaptation, not a literal translation, of the original Chinese article. The running “crackpot” joke plays on minke (民科), usually dismissive slang for an amateur theorist, and on the author’s name, Ming.

距离上一篇文章已经过去五个多月，这段时间里 AI 的玩法也发生了翻天覆地的变化。回想上半年，多少神棍（AI 导师）扬言软件开发已经被 AI 彻底解决， 99% 程序员都可以裁掉，甚至扬言软件开发已经进入黑灯工厂时代。各大技术分享会议的议题也只剩下了 AI 一个主题，大厂高 P 架构师们满世界宣传 AI 是如何给自己研发部门提效的，交付量增加了多少，工期一再缩短。甚至不乏有水货架构师自信地将提交次数和代码行数的巨幅增长当作提效的证据，在演讲中展示，似乎觉得代码行越多越好。但进入到下半年后，却又有冷却的迹象，甚至我在的最神棍的群也少有人讲这些神话了。

Ming's Spell Compendium #4 -- The Art of Whipping AI Grunts: FP's Great Comeback?

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 20:00:00 +0800

This is a cultural adaptation — not a literal translation — of the original Chinese article. Recurring coined terms: grunts = AI agents doing the coding labor; boss = the human; whip-iler = a portmanteau of “whip” + “compiler” (the compiler that whips misbehaving grunts back in line).

Times Have Changed

Let’s be honest: in more and more projects, the primary author of the code is already AI. Your coworkers have quietly subscribed to Cursor pro plans or OpenAI’s Codex. They toss requirements at the AI every morning, then spend their valuable working hours scrolling Reddit, day-trading meme stocks, nursing their phones back to full charge, ~~and quietly tanking their own projects~~. The human role is shifting from “writing code” to “feeding PRDs to the AI, pretending to review AI code, occasionally deploying some good old workplace gaslighting (‘You don’t want the job? There’s plenty of AI that do.’), and having the AI ghost-write your performance reviews and passive-aggressive emails.”

时代变了，大人

事实上越来越多的项目中，代码的主要作者已经是 AI 了，你身边的同事已经悄悄买了 glm coding plan 甚至中转站的 Codex 套餐，每天上班需求扔给 AI 后，自己则聚焦于：把尿喝白，把股炒红，把电充绿，~~把事办黄~~。人类的角色正在从"写代码"转向"把产品经理的 PRD 扔给 AI，装模作样 Review AI 代码，适当的调用一下 pua skills（你不干有的是 AI 干。），以及让 AI 代写工作总结和回怼邮件"。
