I think the industry is moving to English as the programming language, and specifications-context-tdd as the framework for building software. Many find it distasteful, and many finding liberating. I think it's broadly correlates with how they feel about expressing themselves in english vs say C++. As a side question, is there anyone who's using LLMs primarily in non-english mode to program? I suspect there's quite a…

I wonder how well Mandarin works for LLM-based programming. On one hand, it's very token efficient as Mandarin script is very dense in meaning. On the other, I suppose this can increase ambiguity.
After all `def func():` is only 3 tokens on o200k_base.

"No one has the intention of building a wall" - Walter Ulbricht, chairman of the central committee, a couple of months before the Berlin Wall was built. The AI companies and their associates are beginning to surpass that level of denials and lies.
It’s disrespectful to immediately jump to adversarial conclusions from a simple desire to refactor and poor netiquette.

It's very easy to just instruct the LLM to build using isolated crates, to maintain boundaries, focus on "ports and adapters", etc, and not run into this - in my experience. I haven't had any issues with this getting out of hand on >10KLOC vibed rust codebases.

That's a hell of a lot more than "basic extrapolation." You're misrepresenting the original claim to fight against one that's trivially easy to dispute. "Bun has had an extremely high amount of crashes/memory bugs due to them using Zig" (which unlike Rust, doesn't prevent you from writing them) is a completely different statement than your "using Zig results in an extremely high amount of crashes/bugs." Implying that…
The point is that the "extremely high amount of crashes/bugs" is maybe not the fault of Zig after all, as was implied.
My question is, to people even older than me (and I'm certainly not young), does anyone remember this much enthusiasm about people rewriting C code into (C++/Java/Whatever was new and hot)? Because I don't, but maybe I missed it.
