Truly, way better than before: https://github.com/waseigo/disk_space And it now runs on everything, across more Elixir and Erlang/OTP versions than before!

Thanks, one day I'll look into Zig too, because I've been impressed with what Tigerbeetle has achieved with it! For now, I'm all-in on Elixir.

Holy moly, you weren't kidding. Grok 4 is so much better. Thanks!

Given the amount of issues the code had when I ran splint on the C file, I agree. The question was for me whether I can get something working to get over the "speed bump" of lacking such a function for the API client I'm writ

Amen, thank you for noticing. The goal here was not to produce something of stellar quality, which is anyway out of the question as I don't have the skills/knowledge to evaluate anything other than "it returns the Elixir map

It's just that Grok 3 is faster than 4, so I've set it by default. But point taken, I'll try out the newer ones now that I'm converting it to Rust.

Because what difference would it make, given the bad quality of code? Also, is Claude Code free to use? The manual process has the upside that you get to see how the sausage is (badly) made. Otherwise, just YOLO it and put your trust in Gen

What is your definition of "a working project"? It does what it says on the tin (actually it probably does more, because splint throws some warnings...)

It's more of "yeah it worked, but I had to do a lot of hand-holding" and "it passes the tests but I cannot tell if the code has memory leaks". Actually, I can tell; I ran split on the C source and got things like th

You wouldn't ask a rabbi about the New Testament or an imam about the Torah and expect unbiased responses. So why ask a CCP-influenced LLM about things you already know you won't get an unbiased answer to?
