but did they change the process-per-connection model? if not, wtf??

seems like `cargo nextest run` just runs `--lib` tests by default? however, `cargo test` is not so slow if you do `cargo test --lib`. how do I get nextest to execute the doc tests,…

hoping this is a joke

claude is so slow for interactive use like described, do people just run it in low effort mode or what?

optimizer can't inspect the value? pretty dumb optimizer, then.

that's A choice.

wow that sounds like a PITA to deal with

was expecting to see examples of python tests you would use, presumably for testing the rust code? like, how would writing the tests in python be easier?

a man can dream

I would like a workstation with 900k cores. lmk when these things are on ebay.
