Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

And this is, the actual structure itself, none of the fields is commented.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

You know how we, like, best practice would be to comment every structure member?

And in this particular source file, none of the structure members are commented.

Oxide and Friends

And what its proposal was, was to actually comment the structure member, like for bad reasons, like we're not going to do that.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

We're going to be consistent with what's there by not commenting the new member that you just added.

Oxide and Friends

Like the code you want to actually write is actually cleaner than what's there.

But it does think, the other kind of thing that it brought to mind is like, boy, there's so much like technical debt kind of things.

Oxide and Friends

And one thing I think would be interesting that actually we're going to see is people going into existing source code and commenting it better, using Claude to just have better comments.

Then obviously validating all of its work and not allowing, anyway, that's kind of my story from my experiment over the weekend doing Illumis kernel work and came away pretty impressed.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Yeah, definitely.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Yeah.

I mean, like this is one of these where I, in many ways I had biased it for maximal success.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

I knew I had a pretty good idea of what it was going to look like.

Oxide and Friends

But there's also some fiddly bits that people, you know, look at the, and I actually, I'll put a link to the diff in the actual bug.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

It's like, there are some fiddly bits to get right, actually.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

There's a little bit of math that needs to be, that you need to do correctly.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

It's not, but yes, I definitely knew what the code was going to look like.

And this is, it doesn't span multiple things.
