Is this worse Rust with poorly implemented algebraic effects?
Also why are they calling structs shapes?

Zero - Vercel's new programming language for agents It keeps effects explicit, memory predictable, and compiler output structured so AI agents can read, repair, inspect, and ship small native programs together.
English
Introducing Zero
The programming language for agents.
I wanted a systems language that was faster, smaller, and easier for agents to use and repair.
Explicit capabilities. JSON diagnostics. Typed safe fixes.
Made for agents on day zero.

hot take: if you are a programmer you should be able to invert a binary tree from memory, AI or not. It's ridiculously easy and if you can't do it, you should not have a computer science degree

I’m so glad AI killed LeetCode interviews. For 10 years, tech companies made every engineer grind the same puzzles and prove they could invert a binary tree from memory. Today, the dumbest AI model can walk in and one-shot the entire interview. Thank you, AI.

@SuperluminalSft Great can we Linux or Mac support, I can then pick a license for my dev needs, I can't in good conscience buy another Windows only app sadly. Nothing wrong with you folks just can't stand Microsoft, and I already own too much Windows specific stuff, though mac supports most of it

@min_aws It’s only our instrumentation API that’s now implemented; we’ve supported both platforms for a long time :)
English
Today is a beautiful day for updates!
On the Stable channel: rolling up a large number of features, perf optimizations, and QoL changes made over the past months
On the Insider channel: support for our instrumentation API has been implemented on PS4 & 5!
Go check it out!

@ibuildthecloud Centralize it cause if AI can't write your code you are holding it wrong, Dario has said all code is AI code now, and we believe in Dario
English
I swear do you guys just all write simple applications or something? Because AI is failing me. It absolutely sucks at distributed state management. I have gotten into this complete mess and now I have got to manually clean it up.

@sanjeed_i Wait is this serious, my last interview cycle with Google was over 2 months long, almost 3 months till the final offer, I took a different role in the fucking time with higher pay, well horrid experience for a Tech role...
English
Got an inboud for Google FDE recently
The craziest part is that they've compressed the hiring cycle
2 days, 2 interviews and done.
Let me know if anyone I know is interested

@maharshii Several years of doing that, doesn't change much. It's fine for now, but there will come a point when ruppee will start climbing because of the sheer fact that oil is used in transport (70% of our usage) and all transport can be electrified
Our consumable imports is >50% on oil.
English
@min_aws Smarter than most humans is nowhere enough. Bottom 50% humans don't even know how to write code.
English
We can blame Codex/Claude all we want, but Github is filled with example code over-using hashmaps. How is the AI supposed to know that most public code is shit?

Rust may be safer than Zig.
But Fil-C is safer than Rust.

@ThePrimeagen I mean you were at Netflix when it was still growing I am certain your stocks ended up paying you more than your comp, ofc you could have just converted them to pay but if you didn't.
English
There are alternatives that are very nice.
I was not early at Netflix
It was great
Was it life changing? Nah
Did it help allow bigger swings? Yes
kache@yacineMTB
Unless you are early at a startup, you should be job hopping as much as possible Every time I job hopped I've doubled my income. If I didn't switch jobs every time someone wanted to hire me, I would be much much poorer today

@thdxr you’re on to something here
can you start a youtube channel entirely based around it? possibly repost to a specific niche of reddit forums

finally found the right metaphor for this shift in how i use opencode.
i used to treat it like 3D printing, where you build the thing layer by layer and commit to each piece as you go
now it feels more like progressive rendering, you start with a blurry version of the whole thing, then keep making full passes over it, and each pass sharpens the entire shape
doing this with gpt 5.5 and voice prompting is the first time things feel like they're clicking
English
@siddak_b @thdxr I have had openrouter break for simple stuff totally not worth using further they don't even allow using a bunch of models via byok sometimes it's annoying beyond belief.
I so think litellm does fine but just write provider abstraction of your own for the providers you use tbh.
English
@thdxr Honestly, I'll admit I haven't built anything too complex with these abstraction libraries/APIs.
But OpenRouter seems to manage this decently well already.
What's it missing? Bit confused what some of these "quirks between providers" are
English
we're working on a library to abstract over all the llm providers
there's very few teams that have dealt with the quirks between providers at the scale we have
it's written in effect but will also have a vanilla api
progress is in the opencode repo under packages/llm

@ThePrimeagen Where is my wage growth I make the same money I made last year
English
O'rly
a16z@a16z
Narrative violations abound: - Demand for software engineers is rising - Software devs are rising as a share of new jobs - AI exposed industries are seeing above-trend wage growth - Open PM jobs haven't been higher since 2022 More from a16z's David George on the "AI job apocalypse" myth: a16z.news/p/the-ai-job-a…

@samwhoo nope, non binary formats compress much better, the difference is the fact that in protobuf compression is hurt by how it's laid out in memory not be very easy to break on punctuations or expected patterns, if protobuf built it's own compression that might do much better.
English
I have the exact same payload encoded in JSON and as a protocol buffer. The JSON is 34kb, the protobuf is 15kb. I compressed them in different ways and was surprised to see that the JSON often compresses to a smaller file than the protocol buffer does.
Does this surprise you?

WTF, no one told me about gbrain...
That's it, next Monday, stream Gstack and Gbrain
Y Combinator@ycombinator
We're hosting a GStack × GBrain Hackathon on May 16, with @TheHogAi, @transposevc, @askjoai, and @gbrainio! Build and ship something real in 12 hours. Win a YC interview and a 1:1 working session with @garrytan. RSVP at events.ycombinator.com/GStack.
