If you had to pick a default, an arena allocator would definitely be it. Although even better would be a fixed-size arena that can never grow, like Tigerbeetle does.

I don't think the footguns you're talking about are real by the way.

Why is that baffling? You usually have to diagnose what's going on before summarizing it into a status update.

Or do you mean you want to see: "Something is wrong, we're looking into it."

I totally agree. I have this nagging feeling that LLMs push things like this past the breaking point. Effects and contracts are _obviously_ useful to humans as well, we've just gotten by without them for a long time. But when you have intelligence on demand, context building is a huge bottleneck, and local reasoning becomes way more useful from an efficiency perspective.

I'd love to see some actual experiments with LLMs in this area. There are a fair number of languages with effect implementations at this point.

You can use them for dev environments.

You just have to finish development in 8 hours.

It would not, and you would know that if you actually evaluated the results.

It's not weird, since 99% of rentals are apartments, right?

I agree in principle, but I think the 2-5% estimate is extremely low. I could be sold on most developers spending ~25%, up to 40% of their time on code. But very few people are spending 2% of their time on it. Unless you're some sort of super senior staff / advisor to the CTO at a gigantic company, which has already placed you on rare terrain.

This is a really, really, really bad comparison. I used to say the same thing. But the semantic distance between compiling a for loop to equivalent assembly instructions is much smaller than the distance between "I'd like a web application that can store and retrieve todo items." The space of the latter is practically infinite in what can be "compiled."

Yes you're missing something: the snake oil.

I think so, yea.

Give it a shot

It 100% implies that it's looking for locally installed binaries.

So is human coding.
