Great episode. The part about using an AST gave me flashbacks to to a language translator project I worked on in uni.
A screenshot of a podcast player displaying an episode from ‘Syntax - Tasty Web Development Treats’ titled ‘884: TypeScript Just Got 10x Faster.’ The background is a brownish-gold color, and the transcript of the podcast is shown on the screen. The transcript includes a conversation about TypeScript’s Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and emitting Go code. The text reads: ‘It’s. 27:14 • Speaker 3 Meaning that it’s syntactically correct. So we would literally take the TypeScript AST and then we had an emitter that would emit out Go. Now it’s syntactically correct, but it’s not going to compile because, you know, these functions’ The player controls at the bottom show a progress bar at 27:20, with a total duration of -41:22. There are rewind and fast-forward 15-second buttons, a play button, and a share icon.

Tweet by Andrej Karpathy @karpathy There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so l barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, l'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

Surprised Conform wasn’t a default option.

conform.guide
State of React Survey question “Which libraries have you used to manage forms?” with “Conform” as the answer.
