tree-sitter's design has potential, but my impression is that even after all these years, it is yet to be realized. The speed claims turned out to be largely overstated in practice, for the general variety of usage (rather than single

ChatGPT 5.2 has been a good motivator for me to try out other LLMs because of how bad it is. Both 5.1 and 5.2 have been downgrades in terms of instruction following and accuracy, but 5.2 especially so. The upside is that that's had me

The original comment was about one language that borrowed cipher from Arabic (i.e. English) where the word no longer means zero. So my comment was about a different language that also borrowed the word cipher (i.e. Tamil) where it still ret

As your comment already hints at, using Python often ends up a hodgepodge of libraries and tools glued together, that work for their limited scope but show their shaky foundations any time your work is outside of those parts. Having worked

ChatGPT web UI was also like this for the longest time, until a few months ago: all sorts of random UI bugs leading either to data loss or misleading UI state. Interrupting still is very flaky there too. And on the mobile app, if you move a
