Excited to share a demo of Pax & why we're building it. Software creation should be more creative.

When a domain-specific language elegantly maps its domain, large language models become domain experts. Examples include Terraform & SQL.

Still haven’t used the library! 🤷‍♂️ Just wanted to see if I could go from idea to publish on an open source project on a whim. The whole process took about 15 minutes. Wonder if this is a similar feeling as going across an ocean by airplane when airplanes were new.

Rather than copy and paste the files, I asked o1 to write a script that would ⁠`cat` out all of the files in one go for me, and it did. I ran its script; fixed one compiler error. Unit tests and sanity check passed. So I documented & published it: github.com/paxdotdev/grap… crates.io/crates/graphia

Then I asked o1 to package its solution as a crate, labeling file names with their contents, along with unit tests, that I could publish without further intervention.

My prompt specified management of ⁠ `Arc` ⁠ and ⁠` Weak` ⁠ for nodes vs. edges of the graph, to handle the memory leak hazard of circular references ⁠, while leveraging `Arc`s advantages as a concurrency-friendly smart pointer. This approach results in a very simple implementation; this is a famously unergonomic problem in Rust.

Yesterday I used @OpenAI o1-preview to write a graph data structure in Rust.

@rauchg Exactly the opposite — the lowest-entropy solution will win as LLMs bring switching costs to zero. This is bigger than frameworks: LLMs will bring us to a post-HTML world. HTML/CSS are a poor substrate for UIs: complicated, legacy, perf, visuospatially mangled What comes next?

AI for development will likely yield a “rich get richer” effect for popular OSS stacks. LLMs are remarkably good at React and Tailwind, for instance. Which makes AI-using devs more likely to choose them. Which strengthens data flywheels… It’s a new kind of… network effect 🥁

Nvidia breaking a $3T market cap is inspirational. Designing chips for Nvidia could have been my career path after college! But that wasn't my passion. Nonetheless, I will celebrate that I just used my higher education to repair my dead refrigerator for $8 in parts.

Today for the first time, I talk about what I've been building for the last 18 months: Pax. I'm thrilled to partner up with @warfajibril to make software creation more accessible, more creative, and more collaborative! Read more: developing.pax.rs/p/back-to-life
