raven-uxn now has an x86-64 assembly backend (yay!)
and it's about 2x faster (yay!!)
and the first draft was written by Claude (booo!)
and then I rewrote most of it, which made it even faster (yay!)
and introduced a memory corruption bug (booo?)
which Claude is better at debugging than I am (.......?)

if you too have complicated feelings about our robot buddies, you may enjoy my writeup:
@mjk > I would have made fewer changes to a human PR, because I'm sensitive to completely ripping up someone's work.
I too find that's a huge difference from the way I approach regular PRs. If someone comes with a LLM-assisted PR and there's anything in it that makes my life harder as a reviewer or maintainer, I respond without regard for churn or seemingly gratuitous changes. These things don't have feelings or memory.
