Never tried Elixir myself but came here to say the same thing. Tencent put out this study showing that Elixir seems to reign supreme: https://autocodebench.github.io/


Yup! This was the study that I was mentioning. Thanks for providing the original link for that :-)


Neogit, Magit inspired, does the same for Neovim. Would recommend!


I think you can do the same with tig and lazyvim. Sometimes you just need interactivity.


I never experienced this as a problem while working with OCaml. I wonder if the author is aware that the compiler can be ran in “watch” mode where the project is immediately rebuilt on file save.


Any noticeable difference how you feel health wise? Energy levels? Mood? Sleep quality?


Unfortunately too many other changes happened at the same time. I am enormously healthier now (in numerous measurable as well as subjective ways) but it may be that the D levels played no role.


Not the same person here, but a data point nonetheless. Before supplementing D3 I had a cold basically every year, sometimes twice a year. Since I brushed up my levels I average 1 cold in 6 years.


Oddly, since the Covid time, I haven't caught a cold or flu once. I'm not sure it's the vaccines, the flu shots, or the less physical contacts on things overall. I still go to crowded places from time to time, like plane or train rides. May be the population in general have less cold or flu virus overall to go around.


for me, i was so deficient that i would notice it the next morning. also probably not a placebo as the D supplement i am taking is not something my mind goes to 7 am pre coffee lol


> We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.

What happens when this person inevitably leaves and they have no one who knows even a little bit about the process or tools used?


This is the holy-grail in TradFI, not sure if it applies to fintech. It's not uncommon to hear from people who own an internal process only they know that's essentially their whole job security.

The extreme being people that produce only one report a month and that more than justifies their income + bonus.


Simple, we make them use a company computer, log everything they've ever done then reverse engineer it


Paying the person's income + bonus is a lot cheaper and safer than revese engineer some processes.


Isn't that why you have processes to create documentation?

I would forget half the processes I use if I didn't document them all religiously. The benefit now is that I can save myself significant time by having an LLM help me write the docs.


Lol even if you spent all day documenting what you're doing it wouldn't be enough to transfer all the learning and context.


Don't worry agents will take over job

You sound like you've explored at least a few options in this space. Have you looked at https://agones.dev/ ?


Yes! It’s a great project. I’m super happy they have a coherent local development story. I kinda abandoned using it though when I said “keeeep it simple” and stopped using containers/k8s. I think I needed to journey through understanding why multiplayer game services like Agones/gamelift/photon were set up like they were. I read through Multiplayer Game Programming: Architecting Networked Games by Joshua Glazer and Sanjay Madhav really helped (not to mention allowed me to better understand GDC talks over multiplayer topics much better).

This all probably speaks to my odd prioritization: I want to understand and use. I’ve had to step back and realize part of the fun I have in pursuing these projects is the research.


I’ve also found docker / k8s to mostly just get in the way. Even VMs are often a problem, depending on the details of the game.

Bare metal is the only actually good option, but you often have to do a lot yourself. Multiplay did offer it last time I looked, but I don’t know what’s going on with them now.


Your post made me curious to try a problem I have been coming back to ever since ChatGPT was first released: https://open.kattis.com/problems/low

I have had no success using LLM's to solve this particular problem until trying Gemini 3 just now despite solutions to it existing in the training data. This has been my personal litmus test for testing out LLM programming capabilities and a model finally passed.


ChatGPT solves this problem now as well with 5.1. Time for a new litmus test.


Any chance we could get a poll on changing the default swap strategy as documented in the quirks page? https://htmx.org/quirks/#the-default-swap-strategy-is-innerh...


Just went to the comments searching for a comment like yours and I'm surprised it seems to be the only one calling this out. My take on this is also that "Skills" is just detailed documentation, which like you correctly point out, basically never exist for any project. Maybe LLM skills will be the thing that finally makes us all write detailed documentation but I kind of doubt it.


I think part of the reason developers are resistant to writing docs is because the perceived value is very low.

This perceived value would be much higher if the docs were to tangibly become part of a productive tool chain


I generally find the aversion to documentation comes from one of three places:

* A belief that sufficient documentation means their job is at risk (which, to be fair, is 100% correct in this Capitalist hellscape - ask me how I know first-hand)

* It’s irrelevant since the code will change again in a short amount of time

* A fierce protection over one’s output, sometimes manifesting as a belief that nobody but you could ever understand what you created

Sure, sometimes there’s wholly incompetent developers who can’t even tell you their own dependencies, but I’d like to believe they’re still the exception rather than the rule. As for the value proposition, collaborators and cooperators understand the immense value of good, thorough documentation; those who don’t see the value, at least in my experience, are often adversarial instead of cooperative.


> we can so readily afford better

Can we really? All the reporting on climate change definitely has me thinking otherwise. There are options more respectful to our planet than digging tunnels like for example planting trees to help mediate temperatures.
