I posted this above but honestly OCaml makes vibe coding so nice. I went back to go after a few months with OCaml and it was deeply frustrating

OCaml works incredibly well with LLMs.

I must admit - I still don't understand macros. I get that they're code that's generated at compile time. But I don't understand how that's different than a function which evaluates other functions. I guess the latter would actually be evaluated at runtime? I think I get it conceptually but I'm not sure I have the muscle memory to reach for them. Anybody here have an "ah hah!" Moment with macros?

Pi.dev is great and with only a little customization made even previous gen open weights feel superior.

It also doesn't feel like they're trying to sell me on transhumanism all the time.

It also doesn't get mysteriously downgraded. It's just consistent, even before 5.2.

5.2 is great in a lot of ways - but it's best quality is that it gives some pushback and isn't nearly as synchophantic

This looks like an interesting design, but I kind of just want to wait 3 years and see if some new VC system emerges victorious rather than try out all these new things

I'm curious how folks here are using LangGraph

I'm using synthetic.new and Neuralwatt with pi and its good and also cheap

Maybe SWE is just a trade?

If you believe you have that, that's a privilege, but most people in the world don't.

All is vanity.

Its okay to be a tradesman. You don't have to join a cult and save the world. Work is hard and unpleasant. That's okay.

This is exactly it.

AI companies are becoming a catch-all / symbolic lightning rod for "the ruling class".

I live in rural Wyoming and it's a huge deal here, if these projects go through many people are affected.

Some of these data centers are multiple orders of magnitude bigger than a blast furnace.

I think people are pissed that they're subsidizing the R+D cost of their own unemployment.

I genuinely have no idea how some of these companies got so far over their skis on AI. It simply does not make sense to me.

Just call it vibe coding. You can still be an engineer.

Cool! I've been using OCaml and I'm really happy with it

Maybe this is because I live in Wyoming, but "AI is not ubiquitous, there are some people, like Vegans, who eschew it" is not the most compelling argument.

> AI as it is right now is probably a driver to make this worse because it makes it so much easier to throw random stuff together.

My experience has been the opposite: affordable slop makes me way more conscious about architecture because bad patterns become useless exponentially quicker.

I'm making DSLs a lot as an architecture pattern also. I'd be curious to know what stack you're using this and how you're approaching it

I don't know, I tried using one of the Chinese models and it was VERY quick to scan my entire home dir, so maybe your threat surface is a little different than mine
