@vaartis I have a good memory of Hard-boiled wonderland, possibly because I didn't mind his very "rambling" writing style that I grew to dislike in the shorter stories I read later. The way the elements constituting the full story converges over the course of the book is very nice

@lain @harblinger Judging by what I can read on the WWW it seems Mistral quickly lost popularity a bit after they released their pro paid service, I don't understand exactly why but I guess it's just that everything else on the market is just noticeably more performant (it's obvious compared to Sonnet). I'll try Codex today to write the missing tests from my program

@lain @harblinger So far I had better success by using Claude or Mistral as a "consultant" for when I have doubts about how I should implement something or how to rewrite part of the program I knew to be shoddy. I learned a lot by doing that. I set up gpt.el in Emacs for code and tend to use the web interfaces for questions that don't need a lot of context

The code produced by Mistral Vibe was getting a bit sloppy toward the end, like if it started missing some of the context along the way. I did nothing special regarding the feedback loop so that's most likely the issue

I did not try anything by OpenAI or Google yet, surely I must miss out but I slowly catch up with the new world

Currently trying Mistral Vibe to see if it can autonomously write the missing pieces for a Go project I'm sick to work on: HTTP handlers, missing bits from the "service" layer, entry point, and a few things in between.

It's a basic ass web service (a KMS over a set of plain text notes) so not a daunting task compared to what I read other people do with agentic AI but it's scifi-tier to see a bot writing valid code, testing and fixing what's wrong.

It produced me a compilable project while I was writing (so 5min top). It 404, but this still blows my mind.
