About Me
My name is Marc Brooker. I've been writing code, reading code, and living vicariously through computers for as long as I can remember. I like to build things that work. I also dabble in machining, welding, cooking and skiing.
I'm currently an engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Seattle, where I work on databases, serverless, and serverless databases. Before that, I worked on EC2 and EBS.
All opinions are my own.

Agentic software development hypothesis
This is the quality content you come here for, right?
Agentic Software Development Hypothesis:
- Weak form: Any coding task for which a complete specification is available will become trivial.
- Strong form: Any coding task for which a deterministic oracle is available will become trivial.
First objection: Few meaningful tasks have a complete specification.
Second objection: Most oracles aren’t deterministic.
- Strongest form: Any coding task for which a non-adversarial (pythic?) oracle exists will become trivial.
