@phnt @lain I love Zig though

@sun @phnt yeah i don't want to dunk on them, they make cool things and that's better than 99.9% of people

@lain @phnt there's a place in god's kingdom for rust and zig both. rust is great but aggravating, zig is 80% memory safe but tons less frustrazting to use

@sun @phnt nobody will care about languages in a year or two anyway.

@lain @phnt I use zig all the time and I don't, zig's great, it's my llm's language of choice

@lain @phnt @sun what does this mean?

@mirq @phnt @sun nobody will write code by hand so nobody will care much about what in-between step will translate human though into executable code

@lain @phnt @sun oh, gotcha
Were that confident in the continued rapid improvement of LLMs?
Not being confrontational - I genuinely don’t know
What would you recommend someone trying to get into tech study/learn in that case, aside from “do not”

@mirq @phnt @sun yeah i am confident about this. hard to know what to advise in the case of a new practitioner. probably to both learn how to think abstractly for good code and then use LLMs a lot to write code. so, read SICP, learn about TDD and then write a fediverse server with whatever is free on opencode at the time.

@phnt @sun @mirq or write a minecraft clone, can't be worse code than the orignal

@lain @phnt @mirq gonna get around to vbe coding a minecraft server one of these days to do genart in a map

@phnt @lain @sun @mirq anything but fixing pleroma

@i @phnt @sun @mirq there's no fixing what is already perfect

@lain @phnt @sun thank you

@sun @lain @phnt the creator of zig is a leftist

@genmaicha @phnt @sun a programming language is either tranny or nazi
