> A good compiler that catches errors at compile time instead of runtime, that makes writing tests and pulling down dependencies easy, that makes documentation easy. For a week I was fumbling through a ream of type and API errors from a Rust codebase I was hired to work on, migrate to new libraries, debug and update dependencies, etc. I found myself thinking: The Rust compiler is giving me these very long logs of well described errors that are nonetheless obscure to me. If the compiler knows the errors, why doesn't it simply fix them and report the fixes for me to test? This is what LLMs are for, and will soon do well by default: The compiler knows the errors. It should then fix them and let me decide which diffs I want to keep.
