I'm looking at adding bitwise AND and OR to my programming language. Do I add & and | operators, methods x.and(y) or a library bitwise::and(x, y)? My inclination is to add infix operators (concise and familiar) but syntax is such precious real estate.

Some novel (to me) AI workflows from OpenAI in https://openai.com/index/open-source-codex-orchestration-symphony/ (1) Adding the ability for the LLM to create follow-up tasks in the issue tracker. (2) Identifying weaknesses in the spec by implementing in several different languages.

I'm adding uptime data to my personal LLM bot. Does this information belong in the system prompt? That was my initial plan, but I'm thinking that a tool would be better. Tools let me see information provenance ("queried the uptime tool"). There's also a small caching benefit.
