Modular: The Claude C Compiler: What It Reveals About the Future of Software

Compilers occupy a special place in computer science. They're a canonical course in computer science education. Building one is a rite of passage. It forces you to confront how software actually works, by examining languages, abstractions, hardware, and the boundary between human intent and machine execution.

"These tools are rapidly becoming part of the normal software development stack, much like compilers, version control, or continuous integration before them. Learning to work effectively with AI is quickly becoming a core professional skill. Ignoring AI today would be like refusing to adopt source control twenty years ago."

@lrz I wonder how ubiquitous VCS would be if you had to pay per commit or wait until your 5-hour commit limit is reset

@rodionovd Yeah... guessing local models will be the way to go for most people. This is something I dislike about LLMs, productivity is now measured by the amount of money you can spend on tokens. If you work for a large corporation that's unlimited, but if you're not that's an issue.
