Co-Authored-By: An old Stack Overflow answer, blindly accepting the compiler's suggestions, and a linter.
Claude asked me a question today: was I looking for an Emacs plugin (because I was talking about elisp) or a Rust program (because I have configured Rust preferences)?
I'm really impressed, it's rare to see LLMs ask follow-up questions.
(I wanted Emacs in this case.)
I find it really interesting how some areas of tech are widely expected to improve radically (e.g. LLMs and smart home tech), others gradually (CPU speed, battery capacity) and others very slowly (e.g. compiler optimisations).
Predicting the future is hard.
