Programming can be really fun, but we've drown ourselves in complexity and tooling...

Yeah, had to get out of pdx for this reason - Reno is sunny!

Haven't tried a shell, but sounds like fun - must be best to do in an event-driven manner; maybe epoll?

Like complete loss of coding or reasoning abilities - crippled by an LLM - it's weird to me and kinda frightening. Like Flowers for Algernon shit.

But yeah, the talk of replacing all of some large class of jobs with AI I think is hugely over-estimating what current AI will be capable of or how close we are to actual AI; a _thinking_ machine.

Current AI + robots I think is going to displace a lot of manual labor as well...

I think this is basically going to be replacing two devs with one, two lawyers with one, etc. Perhaps a higher factor than two in the longer term... Or perhaps lower?

And all benchmarks are kinda bad - especially micro-benchmarks...

Tldr, very long video, bug in input parsing makes fortran look like a boss...

cli is easier - just ask chatgpt...

Quite nice code!

Came to a much more elegant solution after talking to some other folks - amazing how easy it is if you take a more optimal approach.

Actually, the really easy trick is just to print ansi escape home "ESC[H" aka "\033[H" before you print your stuff...

Using any libs to draw in the terminal here? Or any tricks?
