Spending Too Much Money on a Coding Agent

> Use boring technology: LLMs do much better with well-documented and well-understood dependencies than obscure, novel, or magical ones. Now is not the time to let Steve load in a Haskell-to-WebAssembly pipeline.

If we all go that way, there might be no new haskells and webassemblies in the future.

I think there certainly will, it will just mean that only people who can function independently of the AI will have access to them a few years before everyone else.

LLMs can read documentations for a language and use it as well as human engineers.

"given a grammar manual for Kalamang, a language with fewer than 200 speakers worldwide, the model learns to translate English to Kalamang at a similar level to a person who learned from the same content"
