I’m Bruce Hauman. I’m a Software Developer with over 17 years experience in full stack development. I enjoy making programming more fluid, productive and fun. I have a love of Clojure, PL, and the creative expression of programming.

I'm also the guy who loved in that dome... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6355488

My most recent gig was with Red Planet Labs.

Until you've tried using an LLM assistant fully hooked into a stateful REPL, you can't speculate. The experience is fantastic as the feedback for the code being developed is earlier and tighter.

The LLM agent will often write the code for a function and immediately follow that code up with several smoke testing expressions and the eval the whole thing in one go, function and tests.

It will creatively setup test harnesses to enable it to exercise code while it's being developed. (think html endpoints, starting and stopping servers, mocking)

And it goes on from there. Its an experience, and I submit to the reader that they experience it sooner than later bc its an extremely effective workflow and its AWESOME!

You beat it. Even on hard mode where the pop function wasn't working.

Well I'll need to fix that!

edit: it's fixed, you might need a shift-reload to get the new code.

I probably made the puzzle harder than it needed to be...

I fixed the sp error in the utility room.

Author here: I'm curious if anyone took the time to complete the text adventure?

Sorry but dependencies are choices. Rewriting on a new stack with less dependencies is just choosing less dependencies. People seem to believe that using React requires using all the other shiny libraries. Right sizing your implementation to your needs is important. But it’s not Reacts fault, it’s the false impression that you can accrete things without cost.
