"Evals and vibes" can I put that on a t shirt?

I literally don't know how compilers work. I've written code for apps that are still in production 10 years later.

Are you working on compilers? If not it seems you did not understand what is being talked about here.

Do you lack fundamental understand of those apps you built that are still in use? Did you lack understanding of their workings when you built them?

You don’t need to understand compilers because the code it compiles, when valid according to the language specification, is supposed to work as written, and virtually always does. There is no language specification and no “as written” with LLMs.

No problem with that.

However, at one point in my career, I was frustrated with limitations in a language (Fortran II) and my curiosity got the better of me and I studied compilers thoroughly.

This led to a new job and the understanding of many new useful programming concepts. Very rewarding.

But if you are curious, studying compilers, maybe even writing a new one, will give you tools to do other things.

While working with LLMs, much of my experience gives me new ideas to push the LLM to explore.

Have you written a compiler, though?

This looks like standalone Doppler (not a bad thing).

Wow: the Sinclair ZX81 launched in the UK in 1981 for around £49.95 as a kit (£50) and £69.95 assembled, making it incredibly cheap, and later in the US as the Timex Sinclair 1000 for $99.95 (kit) or $149.95 (assembled)

Cheap for a 1980s computer, now pennies. Wild.

SolidQueue is great. Rails 8 is great. Monoliths are great. Most of the time.

Humans making the most of the situation they're in is inevitable.

"Show me the incentive, and I'll show you the outcome"

I maintain a few rails apps and Claude Code has written 95% of the code for the last 4 months. I deploy regularly.

I make my own PRs then have Copilot review them. Sometimes it finds criticisms, and I copy and paste that chunk of critique into Claude Code, and it fixes it.

Treat the LLMs like junior devs that can lookup answers supernaturally fast. You still need to be mindful of their work. Doubtful even. Test, test, test.

Can we see any of this software created by this amazing LLMs?

Postgres and Sublime user here. Life is pretty good!

  Why can I not authenticate into Google Antigravity?
  Google Antigravity is currently available for non-Workspace personal Google accounts in approved geographies. Please try using an @gmail.com email address if having challenges with Workspace Google accounts (even if used for personal purposes).

I love how being a paying Workspace customer for a decade or more has actually locked me out of so many Google products and features.

Not that I have any desire to try this at this point, but it's always felt ironic.

Thanks. Actually did use my personal account and got the issue nonetheless.

To save others the trouble, it doesn't matter whether you use Chrome or Safari for the auth flow. It's broken on both. (I'm using a personal @gmail account.)

Had the same issue, have been able to sign in finally using a Google Cloud Identity (former Workspace) account by changing my IP via a VPN to Singapore. No idea why, but that worked. Tried a few other countries too, but only had success with Singapore.

Foobar2000… now there's an app I haven't heard of in (checks calendar) nearly 20 years. Glad it's still kicking.

It's still a wonderful piece of software and actively supported.
