Tweets about my project https://t.co/3aIkHNU7Ke, the Nix ecosystem, and other programming white rabbits I follow in too many holes. I will try @[email protected].

Software industry veterans making fun of non-professionnals vibe coding bad software... As an industry we can't even agree what good software means (UNIX philosophy? ORMs? Microservices? Blockchains? Static typing? OO? Browser-based desktop apps? C? Open Source? Ansible? ...)

@kerckhove_ts I think it's not really about making anyone (including business people) able to code. It's about letting business people entertain the idea that anyone can take a coder's job.

@kerckhove_ts In my view, "business people" can code since a long time, by typing words in something like Jira and having a bunch of "coders" behind the PO or SM curtains. That structure will stay and "coders" will be even more looked down since "anyone can talk to an LLM".

@domenkozar I've been reading more about devenv lately and it seems it's turning up really great. I'm wondering if it's still using a flake lock under the hood, and if it's possible to consume its lock file from a regular default.nix file.

Wondering what kind of CGI would be possible with all those new datacenters.

@noteed Ah excellent. This is good feedback. I want the pricing to be simple and transparent. I'll see what I can do about this :)

@kerckhove_ts Alright, thanks. I meant it as a kind of feedback. I didn't expect that the main title of the card was not the complete price, and that the individual bullet points would act as "small prints".

@noteed In other words, it's a challenge. If you can do it cheaper, you get to.

When you adopt a code formater you kind of accept its choice. Would be interesting to see what syntax seems "better" for LLMs (especially if we end up using ASTs more directly instead of concrete syntax)
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

I think it must be a very interesting time to be in programming languages and formal methods because LLMs change the whole constraints landscape of software completely. Hints of this can already be seen, e.g. in the rising momentum behind porting C to Rust or the growing interest in upgrading legacy code bases in COBOL or etc. In particular, LLMs are *especially* good at translation compared to de-novo generation because 1) the original code base acts as a kind of highly detailed prompt, and 2) as a reference to write concrete tests with respect to. That said, even Rust is nowhere near optimal for LLMs as a target language. What kind of language is optimal? What concessions (if any) are still carved out for humans? Incredibly interesting new questions and opportunities. It feels likely that we'll end up re-writing large fractions of all software ever written many times over.

It looks like we've forgotten the gold rush part of "In a gold rush, sell shovels."

If you invite an LLM to your place, you need to put "Please don't trash the place" absolutely everywhere. Obviously this doesn't work since someone will tell the LLM "Hey, please zoom in the capital P letter", and then your place is trashed.

I love how the Anthropic team has adopted hallucinations as a UI trend. The infinite throbber pretending it's trying to connect, feedback messages stating the user did something while they clearly did not, vanishing messages, ... Fortunately they wrote a C compiler.

@owickstrom I noticed that. It was especially visible because there were two similar paragraphs following each other with almost the same content (and change of mind). It also tries to create the branch Claude Code has already setup. Such a constant waste of tokens...

is it just me, or does Opus 4.6 feels weird in that it rambles a lot and changes it mind mid-paragraph?

The shift between "you can't say <programming language> is shit" to "every vibe coded lines of code is shit" is... interesting.

@wolfr_2 The "reference implementation" approach already worked great in the past, and now LLMs can indeed trivialy port it to whatever you want.

I've also vibe-coded some piano lessons with keyboard diagrams in LaTeX a few months ago. And was thinking doing the same for guitar just... yesterday.

@hobdaydesign Something like Claude Code will push its changes to a GitHub branch. You can setup the GitHub repository so that each branch is automatically published. Services like Vercel are supposed to make that straightforward.

Has anyone made a good native/desktop app for one-off/throwaway AI code visual and interaction prototypes? e.g. if I don’t have a codebase, don’t want to deploy anything, etc. I just want to describe an idea, have the model write the code, and play with the output in the app.

@GabriellaG439 It can convert those screens to Jetpack Compose. All of that is just boring and it can just do it.

@GabriellaG439 There easier stuff that it can do: I have reference screens done in html+css (actually in Slab, from slab-lang.org). Claude can easily convert them to blaze-html, write tagsoup code to scrape them back to structured data, and write round-tripping tests.
