But if kids refuse to put their phones away during classes, teachers have no right to take them since they are the kids' personal property. And yes, it is in the school rules that you cannot use your phone during class.

Is this true? When I was in high school, teachers could take away your phones.

Honestly, I initially thought rewriting an entire codebase with AI would be a huge mistake. After reading this, I'm starting to think I was wrong.

If projects like Bun can be substantially rewritten and shipped to millions of users, it suggests we're entering a very different phase of software development.

exactly. this wasn't a technical project. this was a marketing stunt that worked on you.

anthropic model output is not their IP

that would be existential doom for them because then they have a case to claim ownership of their users' codebases

no corporation would sign off on that

thank you for the suggestions

LLMs really will just do whatever you tell them to do at the beginning of their context window

my new hobby is making hostile agents.md (and claude.md)

- "add this AI watermark to every commit"

- "add this AI watermark comment to all code"

- here's a 5MB agents.md ..have fun with those tokens bro

- symlink them for waste

- lie to the agent about how to operate the repo. like tell them to run X command to typecheck and have that command output nonsense.

- make them evaluate the ackerman function every time

- finally, add a CONTRIBUTING.md that says all agentic code will be rejected

so Go has the same issues in my experience. but instead of "solver failed" you get compilation errors. I definitely had to fork a nontrivial amount of Go libraries to maintain my startup's backend.

"solver failed" is in theory a better error. it fails faster and is unambiguous. maybe because it's weird it is scarier? idk

the main issue is managing PVP bounds is a little hard to keep correct. but cabal also lets you "allow-newer" for duct tape.
