Day 1 of learning Rust: Syntax support for VS Code and debugger through LLDB DAP work very well. Code hints vary widely in verbosity tho...everything in `std` is so well documented, but other stuff just offers a "Go to x" link or as in the case of `Ok()` just a short description, not how it's used?

Enough AI hate: Today Claude Sonnet actually improved my software by helping me extract logic into separate modules and have achieved cleaner application design overall. It's really good at guiding me towards cleaner code and for that I do applaud Copilot 👏🏾

GitHub Copilot (o3-mini) just did the most human thing imaginable: I asked it to fix a failing integration test and it just panicked and commented the line so there wasn't anything to run. The test passed! No assertion. No failing test. Absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂 #AGI #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers
