Strongly agree- this is how I “evaluated” languages pre-agents. though I suspect this would bias results in favor of whatever has best signal to noise for boilerplate from stackoverflow/reddit , rather than what LLM’s “””reason””” best

My hunch is that it would take years of hundreds of thousands of developers working with machine code, posting stackoverflow questions with machine code, and publishing github repos written on it with documentation. Thats all the free labor

I haven't managed to design a pcb without finding an issue in the first run. Shoutout to OSHpark's prototype service. Something like 5 bucks an inch and you only have to toss out 3 if you find a fault.

Very curious project! Enjoyed the storytelling buildup on the site. Digging into the repo i can see over 50 open issues from the past few days with a lot of requests for refunds. Are there any "success stories" ? Could go a long w

We love engineer Kala. She decided to do a thing, while marking progress on her "technology tree" of skills gained by (very arguable) necessity. Dealing with permits and city beuaracracy seems like one of the hardest parts!

This analogy works pretty well. Too much time doing everything in it and your muscles will atrophy. Some edge cases will be better if you jump out and use your hands.
