    Bookmark this link for future reference, it is very relevant in the era of “agentic engineering” https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1005937.1005938

    What I love most about your project is the super clean Makefile ( https://github.com/imtomt/ymawky/blob/main/Makefile ). It is a great template to jump start an ARM64 assembly proj…

    Some people must be working on training some models exclusively on high quality OSS code base like curl and SQLite without the noise of low quality training data. I would do that w…
