jira/trello: ergonomics. to set them up correctly exactly the way i want would take me 20 hours (or hire a PM), i can vibecode for 20h and get the same result. plus, being able to crossref internal data types is chef's kiss. i

you cant easily vibecode everything . in my startup this is what I am not buying (and vibecoding): - JIRA/trello/monday.com - benchling - obsidian this is what i buy and have no intent to replace: - carta - docusign - gusto&#x2F

Honestly claude doesn't typically do this the way you think. It's perfectly capable of working in files that are "way too big for its allowed download window". But in general you want some amount of context (what functi

It's a thing in c. foo * bar; Is that multiplication? Or a declaration of type foo*?

Reading files is not that input tokien heavy, I suspect. But anyways I omitted it because presumably it would have done so to gain local context in general.

No problem. It's an SLM, I have a dedicated on-prem GPU server that I deploy behind tailscale for inference. For training, I reach out to lambdalabs and just get a beefy GPU for a few hours for the cost of a Starbucks coffee.

I think we need a LLM equivalent of this part's of fitt's law: The fastest place to click under a cursor is the location of the cursor. For an LLM the least context-expensive feedback is no feedback at all, the LLM should be able

why? I suspect that writing code itself is extremely token efficient (unless like your keywords happen to be silly, super-long alien text). Like which do you think is more token-efficient? 1) <tool-call write_code "my_functi

in the era of LLMs, syntax might matter more than you think. The c form of `type name;` is ambiguous because it could actually be more than one thing depending on context. Even worse if you include macro sheananigans. The alternate (~rust

I don't think LLMs benefit from having code properly typed (at the call definition). It's costly to have to check a possibly remote file to check. The LLM should be able to intuit what the types are at the callsite and elixir

It's 2026 and the LLMs score high on elixir, just write it in python and patch it over to elixir gradually

oh awesome. I thought error traces were only on debug and optionally on ReleaseSafe.

Can you phrase that as a direct answer to my question? Trying to learn something here. Appreciate it!

If you can statically analyze c for memory safety, why did pazlo bother building fil-C?

Zig has error unions on return types which are basically a special cased (rust enum aka sum type) of the return type with a special cased (c enum aka enumerated type), and stacktraces are only available in certain build modes. A "diagn

You can't really easily have useful user defined payloads in errors without implicit allocations. Best way to do it is to pass a payload pointer into the function call. You can put it into an options struct with a default null pointer

It will never be in the main compiler, since it was written by Claude. I think that's ok. The general concept is sound and won't break (modulo names of instructions changing etc). In fact it will get better. With the new io, c

wow, what a list! all of these are statically analyzable using a slightly hacked zig compiler and a library! https://github.com/ityonemo/clr (Btw: you can't null pointer dereference in zig without using the naviga

It's possible to do memory safety analysis for zig. I think you could pretty easily add a noalias checker on top of this: https://github.com/ityonemo/clr
