Barriers to trying out new ideas to build on top of LLMs are quickly falling. Approaches that seem like wasting inferences are the way forward to finding new powerful and innovative uses for generative AI. https://www.sublayer.com/blog/posts/waste-inferences

Gall was right before LLMs, and he's still right after them: A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.

Ever wish you could do TDD with an LLM? Well you're in luck! I just put together a demo of how you can build a TDD bot yourself, quickly, using the Sublayer ruby gem. https://www.loom.com/share/c9a41f43e18c4d40ae23034620149a1a?sid=8b0e01b4-2b53-4919-bfa4-9f1f76b7b9e0

In case anyone hasn't seen it, Obie Fernandez has a new book out on Leanpub: Patterns of Application Development Using AI. The examples in the book are in Ruby ;) https://twitter.com/obie/status/1774810281379602808

Just created a new channel for people building AI projects with Ruby. I know there aren't many of us out there compared to other languages, but I'm sure there are some! Come join us and share what you're working on!

You can guarantee your code is testable by writing your tests first. (TDD) You can guarantee your code is promptable by only using code generated by AI. (PDD?)

We just changed Sublayer's agent framework over to using GPT4-turbo and it is shocking how fast it is. Just threw together a quick demo where I pair program/tdd with it: https://www.loom.com/share/6970b51856b04a91b792f14e848e9b6d

When AI agents are writing code for us, premature optimization becomes an even bigger trap. Why optimize by hand at all? Start with a simple implementation. Have an agent fully cover it in tests. Then let another one loose optimizing the performance of the function or service...

Devs out there: would you ever pay somebody to pair with you to learn something instead of buying a book/course? (What if you could use your company’s learning stipend?) Think something like guitar teacher but for that new language/framework/library you want to learn?

Have any casters played with using emitted events as a data store for web2-style UGC apps? Would love to chat... Had this simple idea over the weekend for an on-chain Last.fm: https://mumbai.polygonscan.com/address/0x625189dcb63ae84b4656df59b2839f02ca547b3c#code

Any chance there are any casters in Bangkok? There's a scavenger hunt / ARG going on in this one NFT collection that has led us to a canal near the Sathorn Unique Tower and current theory is that we need to find something in person...
