From Claude -r you can resume any conversation at any previous point, so there isn’t a way to lose context that way. As opposed to compact, which I find makes it act brain dead afterwards for a while

Oh God yes, I wish there were better tools to help one curate and condense a context when one finds that sweet spot where it's writing great code.

> That said, it was amazing to just see it go through the requirements and implement modules full of organised documented code that I didn’t have to write

Small side remark, but what is the value added of the AI generated documentation for the AI generated code. It's just a burden that increases context size whenever AI needs to re-analyse or change the existing code. It's not like any human is ever going to read the code docs, when he can just ask AI what it is about.

Often someone will have to maintain the code. Whether the maintainer is a human or an AI, an explanation of the intent of the code could be helpful.

I have been a member of a local musicians union for more decades than I care to admit. If someone was offering to replace me with an AI after a career of dedication to the art, I would worry there is a real risk of incidents of devastating loss of income if there is no financial cushion. Even if I had not lost any gigs yet, I would call a couple of the local union board members to discuss it, and I believe this is a concrete situation which the local board would take up for discussion.

I'm sure there are good things to come out of AI in the arts, especially if it becomes a tool for the artist. But offering to put a financially struggling artist out of work with low effort, even temporarily, is a nightmare for the artist. Guilds and unions [0] [1] have talented artists on boards of directors and lawyers on staff who can help them codify some of the issues into their standard contract used by member artists. I have seen bands fired with no notice when they had used a standard union contract. The contract and access to the Union's attorney is the only thing that protected them from loss work and not making rent that month.

But if they do get in the attic it's a nightmare. I would take 100 mice over one squirrel.

I would take a hundred squirrel over one raccoon.

Dang. I had hoped this was about the new borrow checker in Rust.
