Yeah. I work with bleeding edge zig. If you just ask Claude to write you a working tcp server with the new Io api, it doesn’t have any idea what it’s doing and the code doesn’t compile. But if you give it some minimal code examples, point it to the recent blog posts about it, and paste in relevant points from std it does incredibly well and produce code that it has not been trained on.

It’s always been about context, then being able to communicate it.

Manager people or managing a hyper-knowledgeable intern (LLM). If you know what you need, actually want what you want (super difficult), and have the ability to provide context to someone else… management has always been easier for you than others.

I find one of the more interesting things about the current “AI debate” is that many programmers are autistic or at least close one side of an empathetic spectrum that they’ve always had trouble communicating what is needed for a task and why. So it’s hard for me to take the opinions going around.

It also needs a validation loop. Give it the compiler output and I bet it would fix that code even without examples/a blog post.
