I generated a script today to diff 2 CSVs into a Venn diagram, ran it twice, then deleted the code.


I think the future of computing is ephemeral code like this, created rapidly on demand, then done when the immediate task is done.


The LLM itself could do have donne it, maybe you didn't need the code at all


It's a language model, not a compiler. Which is what people get wrong.

Ask one to count the 'r's in "strawberry" and it may or may not get it right.

Ask it to create a program to do it, it'll get it right instantly and it'll work.

When we get to a point where "AI" can write a program like that in the background, run it and use its result as a tool, we'll get the next big leap in efficiency.
