> They're also extraordinarily good engineers so idk wtf is going on in Uganda.

Uganda has no respect for talent. When I was there it looked like most people are just trying to survive the next day, tbh. Because there is no platform to develop their talent. Also Uganda seems to be more focused on agriculture so it gets more incentives than other industries.

But you're right about the talented part, there are a lot of good engineers there but lack the opportunity. Remember meeting one who worked at Boeing in Missouri and he even had a few patents in the aerospace domain.


Can never be arsenal


We'll find out.


it was probably not the real Satoshi, but a scammer. they are pretty common in there.

I don't see any evidence of a scam.


Yes, to some extent because AI only assisted the developer achieve their goal.

But the developer is clearly talented, no doubt about that. They know their stuff very well. Having tried writing a text editor myself, I could quickly tell they know their stuff by analysing the program design


> to some extent

so many commits authored by `claude` with 100+ lines each, that extent is not "some".


Read the commit history, almost all are written with Claude


i REALLY love this thing, especially the efficiency and speed (phenomenal!). gonna start using it daily. i guess i will be one of those providing feedback.

Great work!


Thanks! Don't hesitate to report even minor annoyances (e.g. github issues)


Surely! I will.


Nice read!

I also believe the difference between expert level and amateur programmers will be a lot easier to spot. Especially around the software or system architecture

Due to the inherent GIGO behavior of any software, it'll be a lot easier to tell that the code or software wasn't written by someone with deep knowledge since LLMs' output is just a good reflection of your prompts and creativity while at it(prompting). For instance, a prompt from Ken Thompson can't be exactly similar to your average Joe programmer. I've seen it a lot with most new open-source projects nowadays.


Sure?

Does it work if I have packages that have nodejs c++ addons?


Why wouldn’t it? The end result of a npm install or a bun install is that the node_modules folder is structured in the way it needs to be, and I think it can run node-gyp for the packages that need it.


Truth!

Lydia is very good at presenting complex ideas simply and well. I've read and watched most of her work or videos. She really goes to great lengths in her work to make it come to life. Highly recommend her articles and YouTube videos.

Though she's been writing less I think due to her current job


I think you should read to learn, instead.


Where did I wrote that this post is shit?

Learn to fucking read before writing lies.
