10 hours deep into Yocto recipe hell: cross-compiling C++ with CMake calling Ruby code generators. My brain hurts but it just compiled successfully.

I tried out the Github Copilot with Claude 3.5 since it's free now. The mode where it directly changes your code in the editor (Copilot Edits) is amazing. It put out this game with C and raylib. The code is good, compiled right away and it's a quite entertaining game.

TIL: You can just write LLVM intermediate representation and use the llvm interpreter to execute it directly. Surely beats assembler. Here's a little program that calculates the sum of two arguments:

Tried vibe coding with Claude 3.5 again today. Had a C++ library and wanted it to fix a bug on a C wrapper I created for it. I even had a C example on how to use it in the codebase… …it changed the example to C++ 🤔 I can’t believe that this works for anybody.
