@nolan@toot.cafe @megatronicthronbanks@mastodon.social I don't think this is the slam dunk Anthropic seems to think it is. This isn't vibe coding, it's a carefully constructed workflow (made by humans), then passed through an ocean boiling amount of tokens to provide a subpar result that's basically unmaintainable. The fact that it kinda works is impressive (I guess?), if you value magic tricks more than maintainable software that works reliably.

@nolan@toot.cafe @megatronicthronbanks@mastodon.social the problem is that there are a lot of C compilers out there, it's not surprising that Claude, having ingested many of them in the training data, is able to transliterate a compiler to Rust. It's more interesting to see how good Claude is on novel problems or how well it can come up with novel compiler optimizations, etc.
