And produce nothing of substance besides more incestuous content about AI and AI-development.

If you like Claude Code, then Gas Town (recent discussion [1]) will probably blow your mind. I'm just trying to get a grip on it myself. But it sounds incredible. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46458936

Just wait ‘til Gas City ships.

Anyone tried claude code with z.ai subscription? It's only for a fraction of the price, but 3 times as much limits. I currently use github subscription for hobby projects.

Nothing competes with Opus 4.5 in Claude Code. Codex & Gemini are arguable.

I found that when I used ChatGPT's web chat, I frequently went back and forth, shuttling its output to an editor or IDE and then coming back to ChatGPT with "oh, now it fails like this: ...". It made me feel like I was the automaton now. Claude Code was transformative and it made me realize that something very incredibly significant had occurred. Letting the LLM "drive" like this was inevitable. Now I see just exactl…

I've found that "back and forth" is part of the learning aspect LLM's provide. Even when the LLM provides code snippets, I type them out myself, which I've found forces me to think and understand them - often finding flaws and poor assumptions along the way. Letting an LLM drive in an agentic flow removes you from the equation. Maybe that's what some want - but I've personally found I end up with something that doesn…

It's correct, you didn't write it. Do you also avoid using frameworks and libraries for desire of feeling like you wrote the program you produced? You must have another reason to not want to use this code.

The mayor doesn't communicate to the deacon or refiner well enough. Sometimes my polecat acts like a witness so I have to restart it...

Codex 5.2 XHigh + 5.2 Pro as oracle is the leader for getting to working solutions

And how exactly do you foresee probabilistic systems working out in real life? Nobody wants software that seldom does what they expect, and which tends to trend toward desirable behavior over time (where "desirable" behavior is determined by the sum of global feedback and revenue/profit of the company producing it). Today you send some money to your spouse but it's received by another person with the same name. Tomor…

I think you misunderstand. Once established a function found through random walk is no different than a function found in any other way. If it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't.

I didn't misunderstand. I'm talking about all the exciting unintended behaviors you're adding and all the invariants that you're not preserving by arriving at solutions through randomness rather than careful design and engineering.

Yes a function will always do "the exact same thing" at runtime, but that "thing" isn't guaranteed to be free from race conditions and other types of bugs.

what the fuck this articles supposed to be? interesting read at first but down below it become really disorganized almost like aslop

How can I improve it in the future? The intention was to start as a story, and become more of a structured guide as you read on.

Meanwhile here’s me still just using the ChatGPT web chat asking it for code snippets.

Try Cursor Composer! It's the most natural transition. Exactly what you're currently doing, but it inserts the code snippets for you from within your IDE.
