I'm a little sad that this has seemingly taken precedence over all other hardware support. M3 support, dp-alt mode, making the microphone work are all things that I was hoping were going to land in the past year.

I'm aware of no better way to see your desired features land in open source than to build them yourself. That is the power of open source, nobody can stop you!

i don't hate to be the one to tell you, but skills and context can be learnt. personally, i have found no better way to learn skills than to work on something i care about.

Sure, and it’s the same for quite a lot of people. It does not mean that anyone can do it, for a whole lot of reasons.

Perhaps the people who aren't willing or able to learn those skills shouldn't complain about what the people who do have decided to focus on.

honestly with chatgpt i don’t think not learning can really be an excuse anymore.

not saying have it write the code, but just recursively asking for explanations and resources can get you up to speed on tons of things

Yeah good luck with that in systems programming or anything complex. You’re not gonna get far.

I guarantee you'll get much further than you would have previously done in the same amount of time, just by virtue of it being able to point you in the right direction. You don't need perfection when learning, you need a wayfinder, and it can do that just fine.

It won’t point you in the right direction though. At least in my experience. It will only give very superficial answers. And fe just trying to write rust - it will try to explain the error message but most of the time says nothing new and to find out how to fix it you will have to read docs and understand things the old way anyway. At least in my experience

What can I say, Claude's been good to me for both computer science and Rust :-)

your experience is not my experience and i have done my share of systems programming

I do hope that LLMs learn more from the Asahi Linux team's code and their amazing blog posts, in order to provide better guidance for new systems programmers.

anyone CAN do it
