One non-obvious reason is that an important aspect of their community is to shepherd new contributors [1]. LLMs crushing everything would reduce that. More obvious is all the toil for maintainers dealing with LLM PRs (broadly it’s an issu

They've been back and we're all taking them further than ever before! For the past few weeks I've been wrapping up Booba [1], which is developer tooling to combine BubbleTea and Ghostty in WASM deployments (using ghostty-web)

Mixing metaphors, there is signal and noise. You can keep asking for noise, but the suggestion is to not train your neural networks with it as it will impair your inferencing. That said, we all have our own cost and reward functions...

The repo doesn't say it, but the Author noted on the Gophers Slack #showandtell that the style was inspired by SwiftUI. That VStack example shows it quite well.

While I’ve had tremendous success with Golang projects and Typescript Web Apps, when I tried to use Metal Mesh Shaders in January, both Codex and Claude both had issues getting it right. That sort of GPU code has a lot of concepts and machi

Huh?? You are replying to a comment about a Free Speaker who was murdered point blank on a US street for protecting another Free Speaker who was being pepper sprayed for exercising their Free Speech!

I think the main technological limitation is that other browsers cannot just-in-time compile (JIT) JavaScript or any other embedded language. Except in the EU. ETA: your link includes JIT; I’m pointing out that that’s why they don’t exist

It's a grift tactic (even the exact type of laugh when he brings up Freud), but I agree with you that he's not literally grifting, more like a white-washing. Thanks for bringing up Meditations -- it was gifted to me three years ag

I agree with you, but also we will start sharing these conversation traces more and more. That's why it is important for redaction to be in the export pipeline. There can be both deterministic (eg regex) and LLM-based redaction.

Building a TUI was easy before, especially with the great toolsets for their respective languages BubbleTea / Textualize / Ratatui. And thanks to those frameworks, LLMs can manifest useful tools. Similar to WebApps, it's onl

That is great, thanks for sharing your work and that other link. Codex also supports OTel. I love that you made the OTel DuckDB extension last year and then were able to flex it months later for these pursuits.

I see what you are saying, and perhaps we are zeroing in on the importance of ground truths (even if it is not code but rather PLANs or other docs). For what you're saying to work, then the LLM must adhere consistently to that initial
