John RegehrI'm fundamentally a tool builder, and LLM coding agents work one million times better if you give them good tools, and I wrote a thing about this
I do enjoy using these things in ways that don't plagiarize and don't inflict slop on people. for example, when debugging an LLVM pass, this kind of thing can actually work. like, this actually found a miscompilation bug just now, and may find more if I ask it to keep going. it's an absolutely fresh LLVM pass, there is no chance that the LLM was trained on anything it's seeing here (much less on bug fixes to it).
Ramkumar Ramachandra@regehr Hehe, your detailed sanity-guards described in plain English made me chuckle :)
