@birgitta410.bsky.social adds exploration of three sensors for static code analysis, with mixed results. Computational sensors alone cannot help us much, AI is needed to add semantic interpretation, and consider trade-offs.

Fragments: thoughts from a software development retreat, would I be a writer without text editors, use LLMs as functions, don't use LLM skills, is the future of everything lies?
