Until you've tried using an LLM assistant fully hooked into a stateful REPL, you can't speculate. The experience is fantastic as the feedback for the code being developed is earlier and tighter.

The LLM agent will often write the code for a function and immediately follow that code up with several smoke testing expressions and the eval the whole thing in one go, function and tests.

It will creatively setup test harnesses to enable it to exercise code while it's being developed. (think html endpoints, starting and stopping servers, mocking)

And it goes on from there. Its an experience, and I submit to the reader that they experience it sooner than later bc its an extremely effective workflow and its AWESOME!

Let’s throw this relevant link of yours in here as well: https://faster-than-light-memes.xyz/conversation-1.html

Awesome!

You beat it. Even on hard mode where the pop function wasn't working.

Well I'll need to fix that!

edit: it's fixed, you might need a shift-reload to get the new code.

I probably made the puzzle harder than it needed to be...

I fixed the sp error in the utility room.

Author here: I'm curious if anyone took the time to complete the text adventure?

Sorry but dependencies are choices. Rewriting on a new stack with less dependencies is just choosing less dependencies. People seem to believe that using React requires using all the other shiny libraries. Right sizing your implementation to your needs is important. But it’s not Reacts fault, it’s the false impression that you can accrete things without cost.

To be fair, the XML is listed at the very bottom as the last of the options for getting your dependencies.

I wrote an intro to React that emphasizes it's functional/reloadable nature. http://rigsomelight.com/2015/06/09/straightforward-live-func...

The general rule being that its completely dependent on the situation.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. Really great stuff.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and agree that your stated goals are important. But if you are serious about this project having an impact, you may want to get some feedback and help with the voice of your presentation. You talk of saving the world, but you are mainly talking about "you" saving the world. It comes across as grandiose ... Please speak clearly about your project and its specifics and less about you if you want people to listen.

Exactly but keep pages of these ui components and review them before a push to production. In fact, work on the component in this setting to get maximum feedback.

You don't need a library to do this stuff though. Just a functional approach and a willingness to work on a storyboard application, which iterates over all the states of your components, instead of just working on the main application.

This ability to concretely display a component in all of its different states is one of main reasons I created devcards (ClojureScript, Figwheel). One can use it to create storyboards live as you are programming.

I have been putting a lot of work into devcards lately so forgive me for being so focused on it.

:)

Your welcome! Glad it was helpful.

Dude! You are welcome!

This is author here. I'm available for questions.

I'm a big fan of "The Complete Works of Derek Dingle" and "The Secrets of Brother John Hamman"

Both are absolutely excellent.

For goodness sake people. You can take a comic as an attack on a particular programming language, but how is this useful? Maybe there is wisdom in this comic or not, but there is value in people reflecting and presenting a humorous point of view.

I have used all of the languages above and found the comic humorous and greatly exaggerated. But I think that there is something here. If you haven't really used the exalted languages in this comic please try them. You can only learn from the experience.

Also, if users of a particular language appear to be elitist, this does not say anything about the value of the language itself.

An open mind is going to be both happier and more capable.

The last line is priceless.

"So the moral of the story is: Sometimes quickly and mindlessly choosing a random solution isn't half bad!"

Let me know how it goes. I'm still trying to figure this out

You're talking about the leinigen template? I just don't like the current situation for distributing these resources. I figure if you want, you can always download and store these resources locally if you want.

Really glad you liked it.

I'd love to hear what your experience is and/or see examples.

I have only seen Chris's Strange Loop presentation. So I don't know much about his plans for Aurora. I do agree that the time is ripe for a visual programming language built in the browser.

I haven't looked into LT integration just yet. But I am open to that of course. Sounds like an absolutely great idea.

Devcards is still super new. And I hoping that people really think about what this means in their particular workflows and hopefully reintegrate knowledge back into Devcards.

Actually, that's not pie in the sky, running selenium against a set of cards would work great. And may be an easier env to work in than the actual main app.

I have been working towards that. If you are still following the queue of messages that you mentioned a while back, then you could supply each card instance of your "program" with the list of messages that you need to get to the state you need. So you could make a loop to create the list of cards you want to look at.
