I've been pondering having some kind of environment that the language model can just modify the application in real time while it is running.

I asked chatgpt and it said hot reloading in a browser, but thats not what i'm talking about. I'm meaning realtime high performance desktop applications that the user can prompt to change the app in realtime while it is running.

The closest thing i saw to this was something called VibeOS, but thats a whole operating system.

"If you're toilet is leaking its probably a faulty flapper" is rooted into my brain. What is a flapper, and why is it called a flapper?

I have a few personal projects, i let codex do all the code - i do the thinking and testing.

One time, something didn't work as expected - its the first time it happened with this project. I read through the section of code and it was perfectly readable and well-written.

Turned out a plugin wasn't effecting the audio, so i just got it to pad some blank audio onto the beginning before processing it, then remove it at the end of the process. That fixed the issue, there was nothing wrong with the code but my ability to think laterally is what made it work.

We're getting to the stage where you can just ask them to write code and they will do what you want, and it writes good code. Its up to you to test everything beyond the internal tests it writes.

I knew this was possible, i asked chatgpt about a year ago and it said no the latency would be too big of a problem. I spent the best part of a year learning libp2p and was looking for a project to do with it at the time.

"NO AI" needs to be the norm, we should be working on better ways of sharing information and better documentation instead of fighting with computers for substandard results.

It doesn't take a week to learn the async basics.

add async keyword to functions add .await when calling them use tokio in your main function (easy to look up) use the async recursion crate if you need to use recursion but don't want to box everything

There are some bonuses like calling functions in parallel, but there you go.
