spelunker commented on I built a programming language using Claude Code   ankursethi.com/blog/progr... · Posted by u/GeneralMaximus

> While working on Cutlet, though, I allowed Claude to generate every single line of code. I didn’t even read any of the code. Instead, I built guardrails to make sure it worked correctly (more on that later).

Impressive. As a practical matter, one wonders what th point would be in creating a new programming languages if the programmer no longer has to write or read code.

Programming languages are after all the interface that a human uses to give instructions to a computer. If you’re not writing or reading it, the language, by definition doesn’t matter.

Like everything generated by LLMs though, it is built on the shoulders of giants - what will happen to software if no one is creating new programming languages anymore? Does that matter?

This is definitely a "known problem". At my company we call it "promotion-driven development". The promotion guidelines call out that knowing when _not_ to build something is important, but how do you put that in a body of work? "Decided not to build A". Nobody cares.

I've been trying out vibe coding with my 4 year-old, but they quickly lose interest once we start getting into the "weeds" of implementation. Hey kiddo, which CSS library should we use for your web game?

This is neat! What kind of steering or context did you provide to the LLMs? Super basic like "You are playing a card game called Magic: The Gathering", or more complex?

What was the actual intended goal of the malicious code? Or maybe that wasn't the point. I had no idea .vscode/tasks.json was a thing.

I'm saying this with complete sincerity: WHAT IS IT THAT YOU PEOPLE SEE!? What is the fun? What are you addicted to? Typing and seeing the output? Solving a problem?

I feel like I am missing out on some amazing life altering experience when I see people state that. The same thing I have with the article - what does it mean to love a programming language?

Pattern matching and function guards sold me. I'll never look back, you can take patterns out of my COLD DEAD HANDS!

They should try writing a spellchecker first, I found the article difficult to read because of the high frequency of typos.
spelunker · 5 months ago
It became distracting after the first two or three spelling errors, agreed.

This is also good advice for personal projects - want to ship stuff? Just do what works, nobody cares!

Ah yes - nobody is doing REST correctly. My favorite form of bikeshedding.
