I've been experimenting with LLM autoresearch. I prompted Sol to make difftastic faster without changing output on the test suite, and log everything it tried: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/blob/c6e9c6fed4c71276a8b0e377c92695c3d929dc7f/PERF_RESEARCH_LOG.md It found some interesting performance tweaks, although it's too tolerant of complexity.

I'm trying to teach LLMs to yak shave responsibly. It's normal to be programming and notice other clean ups that really ought to be done. I don't want it done in that PR though. Currently experimenting with asking the AI to just create hand-off tasks in the issue tracker.

I'm experimenting with imitating window UI elements when showing code snippets on my website. What do you think? Do the familiar dots of the title bar help, or is it just confusing decoration? First image is the current style, the second image has the window UI.

I've been experimenting with different pagination UIs. It's so common to have arrows, but I've realised they're redundant here. When you have the adjacent values as well as the final value, you don't need > and >> arrows too. Thoughts?
