I think as a manufacturer I'd be less worried about competition than about vertical integration by large players.

It makes sense to de-risk your supply chain and at this point memory is a key supply risk.

These are both big motivations but not the only ones.

But there's still play. There's still curiosity. And there's still the drive to understand something for yourself.

I've been using rust since 2017 and still code in it professionally and am a fan.

Moonbit is pretty cool too so I thought I'd mention it for other people who like cool things.

I'd argue for moonbit -- faster compile times, almost as fast, smaller wasm artifacts and like lean can have proof of correctness built in.

I think this is only a partial answer but I've been surprised by how familiar dev leads become with the app even if they are not in the code.

They tend to stick around and they engage in the problem solving on a higher level and develop a detailed picture of how the app does and should behave. So at least that part of the expertise may come from working with an LLM to solve problems.

I think evals are the key here. If your fable system fails them, it's a bad system for your use case. If not, compare cost with other systems that also succeed.

To me this doesn't seem like a disaster but just the kind of thing that happens as you role out a service and expose it to new challenges.

Presumably they haven't had the chance to do a lot of flood training but now they have that chance.

The huge advantage they have over people in general is that ideally if they figure this out then it will stay figured out. Then they can slowly role out and watch for the next hitches from new situations.

I hadn't even thought about these -- inspecting and deleting from the TUI makes a lot of sense.

Thank you!

Good question. I haven't done any work yet to make this fast so it might not be too quick...

My kids and I have been playing this for about 20 years. It's worked on Linux, Mac and Windows and has never stopped working.

In the meantime so many other favorite games have disappeared or become obsolete.

There's no absolute reason great games can't be as immortal as chess. Maybe Wesnoth can be.

A couple of months back I was looking for a fun quick project and also was having space issues on my Mac.

So github copilot and I wrote a little disk usage exploration tool in rust with very few dependencies.

It's called "syz" and I pronounce it "size" since it's all about exploring disk usage and figuring out what to trim.

Someone I respect started using it and reached out saying he liked it so I figured I'd dust it off and share it here!

After `cargo install syz`, use the `syz` command to enter the interactive cli starting at the current directory. Then use arrow keys to navigate directories and compare their recursive sizes.
