Let's say you to render conditionally when `x` is present. You do `v-if="x"`. Now you want to refer to `x.y.z` in the body, while `y` is optional. Can you be sure that the value is…

JSX is a very thin layer of templating logic inside JS. Meaning you have all the language features available while templating. Some arbitrary JS can result in templating. Vue's DSL…

Scaling law is a power law , requiring orders of magnitude more compute and data for better accuracy from pre-training. Most companies have maxed it out. For RL, we are arriving at…

Math and coding competition problems are easier to train because of strict rules and cheap verification. But once you go beyond that to less defined things such as code quality, wh…

In simpler terms - they create an MCP server, essentially an API that the coding agent can call, that can fill in context about previous decisions done by the coding agent earlier …
