  The book Software Engineering at Google goes into this (all factors of programming at scale / over time), worth a read.

    It's available online for free: https://abseil.io/resources/swe-book

    And, yep, it's worth a read.

  Then a new term is warranted for what happens to programming when we add prompts & agents.

  An amazing distillation of the craft.

I recently learned that Russ also wrote software for The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (https://oeis.org) and is the president of the OEIS Foundation.

Russ also has a great blog, with the most recent entry on fast floating-point printing and parsing. I believe these performance improvements have landed in the latest version of Go. https://research.swtch.com/fp
