I was hoping that near the end the author would have tried to contributed any new tests to the official testsuite to help catch these same errors elsewhere.
For the first one, Zero Is Not Null maybe there is a missing test in in the call_indirect test?

> Trying to work around Anthropic blocking security-related prompts does get pretty tiring though. Didn't know this is a thing... interesting for a company that's marketing their Mythos so hard not allowing security prompts. I am also curious how the cheaper Chinese models do, I have an Opencode Go plan, so I'll let 'em rip over the weekend, hopefully I get to see a few bugs!
He describes himself as "Software engineer. Writing code prompts at Google". So throwing his own, apparently poorly written, creation under the bus will get him applause and promotions by the AI lunatics. It is a currently popular strategy among AI boosters.
Honestly your poor assessment is in all ways poorer than his poorly written creation. Did you even have 2-3 minutes to click around his website and gave a read to his other article "Something that I used to love"? Your type of disparaging comments give the impression of HN to others what HN totally isn't. I don't know if you wrote your comment esp. for engagement baiting.
So I don’t buy that they are mourning it. Give me a freaking break. Mourn your professional programming, maybe? But if this is your “passion”? Freaking keep doing it voluntarily. Is playing in a rock band dead?
Or no? Too busy being a “code prompter” at Google? Sellout.
The cool thing about LLMs is that once a capability is "good enough" you can always "chain" them together for better overall results. On the client side this means "write an API that does x y z" -> "analyse this API for security concerns" -> "PoC for each finding from this report" -> "fix this code according to these verified claims". On the "server side" (i.e. training) you can use the current gen models to improve…
If the snake oil isn't working, it's just because you haven't drank enough of it yet

Coding as we knew it ten years ago isn’t dead. I have had a great time in the last quarter doing a little voluntary open source programming. I improve or make something and the upstream accepts it. I have fun and it isn’t just an idle hobby that is useless to anyone but me. So I don’t buy that they are mourning it. Give me a freaking break. Mourn your professional programming, maybe? But if this is your “passion”? Fr…
Passion is a feeling, and feeling changes.

This sounds pretty much like what the AI profiteers want everyone to at least believe : that if it isn't working, all you have to do is burn 10x/100x tokens (that they charge for and jack up the fees for steeply over time) for that extra few percent of improvement. If the snake oil isn't working, it's just because you haven't drank enough of it yet
That wouldn’t hold for boring old tech; too inert, too passive. But it does for agents because they gestures rainbow have autonomy.

All LMM discussions—no, all code discussions here—have these trivial-looking comments about how you can agent against agent, or agent chain with agent, or agent compose with agent, either to supercharge productivity or solve some problem. That wouldn’t hold for boring old tech; too inert, too passive. But it does for agents because they gestures rainbow have autonomy.
Boring old tech is not doing code reviews?
