10 years ago, I thought "programming is too hard, I'll make tools to make it easier".5 years ago, I thought "I'll make a new language to make it easier".now I'm working on tools to make "making new languages" easier 😂.

So it turns out Legolas just had access to AI upscaling when the physical behavior of light & the dimensions of his eyes were too limiting 🤔 (.

RT @DaveEvansPhD: It's great to see thoughtful cost-benefit analysis in this work.

New blog post! "A Practical Comparison of AI Coding Agents".giving a real-world complex ambiguous scenario to 14 different LLMs.

I could imagine strongly-typed full-stack languages like Gleam or Grain or Moonbit having some advantages in terms of "the compiler helps you write code that works, or fix code that doesn't", but then ts/js have the advantage of tons more training data.

I would be interested to see a "how well [some LLM, e.g. Claude] writes [x language]", especially using languages that compile to javascript. Like "if I want to start a greenfield webapp, what language should I tell claude to use to get the best results" kind of thing.

this is very cool.

the fact that a bash script will change behavior if the source file gets modified while its running seems like such a clear footgun. Are there any normal use-cases for this? I would love to be able to `set -no-footguns` to disable the behavior.

It's, uh, interesting that none of these include a "understands the limitations of AI".you do get some points for mentioning safety I guess. I guess this is one way of saying "we're most interested in hiring unabashed AI boosters".

RT @DavidKPiano: @jacobmparis That's easy. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.URI stands for Uniform Resource Iocator.

how do you pronounce "str".

I'm *this close* to building my own PCB CAD software.
