lom assisted right you're making i started to write and then eventually claude wrote all of it like it was very much like i started this before i even thought ai tools were good and then by the end uh claude was doing a lot of work uh i think what right before i left we looked at it and like my personal ai usage was like the same as the rest of the company at the

And I think it's gotten, it seems like y'all have used it even more since I've left, but like, yeah, absolutely.

I think this is definitely a huge thing.

I have several personal projects that are effectively just replacing, you know, SaaS tools with things that are bespoke for people.

And it's great, honestly.

There are a ton of industries that are normie industries where there is 10 consultancies that make shitty software that professionals use because those are the only 10 companies that know their vertical.

My girlfriend's a real estate agent.

And when I look at the tools and the SaaS tools that are useful for her, they're all garbage.

And I've been using Cloud to build her website instead.

And it's like way nicer and way cheaper because like, and I think it's just so many industries that are very similar kinds of things where there's like the software that's made for professionals is just bad, actually.

I've been wondering lately if one thing that has a really good test suite is the Rust compiler.

And I've been working on a little programming language for the last two weeks, and I've gotten way farther than I ever expected to, partially because I went spec first, and that's how this sort of dovetails into that.

But I've been thinking about, should it have just been a Rust compiler instead of my own little language?

Because there are so many tests for the Rust compiler.

They've done a very great job with that, and I'm really curious if that's something that

Similar to like, I'm going to build this HTML5 thing.
