It sounds insane until you drive full agentic loops/evals. I'm currently making a self-compiling compiler; no doubt you'll hear/see about it soon. The other night, I fell asleep and woke up with interface dynamic dispatch using vtables with runtime type information and generic interface support implemented...

Do you actually understand the code Claude wrote?

Do you understand all of the code in the libraries that your applications depend on? Or your coworker for that matter?

All of the gate keeping around llm code tools are amusing. But whatever, I’m shipping 10x and making money doing it.

Up until recently I could be sure they were written by a human.

But if you are making money by using LLMs to write code then all power to you. I just despair at the idea of trillions of lines of LLM generated code.

Well, you can’t just vibe code something useful into existence despite all the marketing. You have to be very intentional about which libraries it can use, code style etc. Make sure it has the proper specifications and context. And review the code, of course.

Fair enough. That's pretty cool, I haven't gone that far in my own work with AI yet, but now I am inspired to try.

The point is to get a pipeline working, cost can be optimized down after.
