Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Okay, so another question I have for you, because the other thing is that when you are, I mean, as you say, it's, I've got the pattern, I want you to replicate it.

Oxide and Friends

It also makes for a code that's pretty easy for you to review.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

This kind of reminds me of my experience.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

I pretty much know exactly what I'm expecting here, and I'm going to be able to review this

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

pretty quickly.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Rain, one question I've got for you, because one thing that was super surprising for me is, and like, look, maybe, hopefully I'm in a safe space here.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Like, I've got the brain that I engage when I'm writing my own software, and I struggle to engage that when I'm reviewing someone else's software.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

You know, I try to.

Oxide and Friends

And the best reviewers, I think, are able to review code as if they themselves are writing it.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

And I think, but to me, like, I really have to work on that.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

And I definitely know when I'm in the like, yeah, yeah, this probably works mode of my brain versus the like, no, no, wait a minute.

Oxide and Friends

Like this, like, I need to like, I'm in like doing my checklist before takeoff and I'm like, I'm going to die in this airplane if I don't get the flaps down correctly.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

So I'm like, and the thing that was super surprising to me is that when I was reviewing Claude's work, I was in that mode of like, I'm writing this myself.

Oxide and Friends

and like a heightened state of alert, really reviewing things closely, finding some subtle things in its script.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Did you find the same when you were reviewing the code that it had written?

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Yeah, like, oh, by the way, like here, let me show you all the trivial stuff, the non-trivial stuff.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

I don't know.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

That's a lot of files.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

That's a lot of lines to render.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Let's not review that.
