   Well, if you’re coding it in Zig, and it’s barely seen any Zig, then how exactly would that argument hold up in that case?

   Congratulations, you are clearly the smartest person on this forum, and I don’t mean that facetiously. The number of naïve comments here is absolutely astounding. It would be like a spouse proposing restrictions and terms of their access to

   This is nonsense, you can’t fire an AI and an AI will never take credit nor will it take responsibility. Humans will always be in charge, because you will never be able to completely trust an AI, because it has no skin in the game, literall

   That’s why I think the sweet spot is to write up plans with Claude and then execute them with Codex

   So what is your motivation for doing this, incidentally? Can you be explicit about it? I am genuinely curious. Especially when it’s to the point of, you know, nagging/policing people to do it the way you’d prefer, when you could just r

   I have successfully reproduced a few projects with LLM assistance via strict cleanroom rules and only working off public specifications.

    Are you sure it's simply because YOU don't understand it? Because it seems to make sense to me after working on https://github.com/pmarreck/codescan

    The same guy who thinks AGI will eliminate "centaur coders" (I respectfully disagree) and possibly all white-collar work, is now concerned about the misuse of the same AI to make war? That's cute. Literally just giving busine

    Companies need someone to blame who has skin in the game. An "open source contributor" is not gonna wake up at 2AM on a Saturday because the business that someone else partially built on their free code suddenly went down. This is

    So the perverse "logic" here is basically that since very successful products sometimes get enshittified, there is no point to seeking ANY success? Do you realize how out-of-touch with reality this sounds? For every $45M Tailscale

    I don't understand this attitude. Some humans have to eat and put a roof over their heads sometimes, and extracting consulting fees from open-source work (i.e. the Redhat model) is not always a paying business model. A hybrid model is

    Gee, good thing I didn't make a blanket statement and qualified it by saying "often", which is true, my contrarian dude. https://tigerbeetle.com wouldn't have chosen it unless they found it faster than C- and

    Ah. Yeah. My main Zig project will need over 1,000 edits to get it up there :O I've already had Claude spec out the changes required. I'll just have it or Codex or whatever fork itself into one agent per file and bang on it (for t

    Well, it has helped me reorganize my notes and add appropriate links based on context (which AI is good at, of course) since I tend to still use it like a glorified notepad (which it's also good at, but really doesn't take much ad

    FYI, firing up Claude Code or Codex inside your Obsidian repo location is a game-changer

    because Zig is simply a better C, often faster (normally at least as fast), but with way more safety guarantees or at least things preventing the vast majority of traditional C footguns from happening

    yeah, I’ve noticed it do that too, it literally goes to the source and for all intents and purposes, “figures it out” that’s why it sounds to me like these people commenting haven’t even used these models yet.

    Ever heard of Bun? Uber? Turso? Vercel? (And the highly-regarded Ghostty terminal of course) I mean, less is true, but “hardly” is doing a lot of work there https://github.com/rofrol/zig-companies-and-organizations
