I like the approach; it reminds me of Towards Zero Defect Programming by Allan Stavely and Dijkstra's idea of deriving programs mechanically from their specifications.
Were LLMs used to produce some of the writing? Not sure how to describe it, but it has a certain recognizable writing style (e.g. "The Problem"/"The Solution", lots of bulleted lists with bolded first words, etc.) Readers might appreciate if AI use is disclosed.
It’s definitely AI generated. I suspect much of their portfolio is. See spec.md. Also, the committer’s username is “williamofai”.
Yeah the AI smelling writing style put me off. If you have 30 years of experience then you should have had ample time to build your own prose and style. I'll pass on this.
Given they have 30 years of what looks to be safety critical UNIX experience, it’s probably not AI. They might come from rigorous fields like medical device engineering where writing and design are continuously audited for spec and standard conformance
