An update on Bun’s experimental migration from Zig to Rust:

The Rust rewrite now passes 99.8% of Bun’s pre-existing Linux x64 glibc test suite.

6 days of work to do this. Even if it doesn't end up becoming meaningful, it shows just how tokens and work done will be linked now and in the future.

It's going to be hard to compete with someone or a company that has more compute. They will just be able to do things you can't.

I think the industry is moving to English as the programming language, and specifications-context-tdd as the framework for building software.

Many find it distasteful, and many finding liberating. I think it's broadly correlates with how they feel about expressing themselves in english vs say C++.

As a side question, is there anyone who's using LLMs primarily in non-english mode to program? I suspect there's quite a few people using mandarin, but can someone share first-hand account.

I wonder how well Mandarin works for LLM-based programming. On one hand, it's very token efficient as Mandarin script is very dense in meaning. On the other, I suppose this can increase ambiguity.

What a time to be alive.

So much of the fundamental dynamics of the industry and the job have changed in so little time. Basically over night.

Some days I am so excited at how much I can do now. You can build anything you want, in basically no time! 100% of my software dreams can be a reality.

Some days I am terrified at what's going to happen to the job market.

Suddenly you can get so much with so little. The world only needs so much software.

Is every company that sells software as their core business model going to go out of business?

What will happen if only certain companies or governments get access to the best models?
