Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

You know, it would still feel great because you'd be saving all this typing of the most tedious kind.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

You know, make this request, check this, you know, on the response.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

That was where it started to feel like it was really helpful.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

And I think I gave some demos of that kind of thing where it's like, you know what you want and you can tell it piece by piece and it'll fill it in and it would do a good job.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

This is kind of what people are talking about, you know.

in examples where it can follow a pattern really well.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Like if you give in one example, you do this thing yourself once, and you need to do it five more times, it can follow that pretty well.

But more recently, it seems like with Opus 4.5, it's been able to figure that stuff out on its own, even without the stubbing out of all the details.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

One example, the thing that really impressed me when Opus first came out was something quite different from you guys' examples.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

It was an example where I'm not an expert.

Oxide and Friends

It was specifically something where it was kind of a pure test of the thing's ability because I didn't know anything about what I was doing.

Oxide and Friends

And I was still able to get to a surprisingly good result.

And this was debugging crashes in the ghosty terminal.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

So I ran into a couple of crashes.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

I've never written a line of Zig.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

I don't know anything about the ghosty code base.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

I've never...

Oxide and Friends

looked at a crash dump to my shame as an oxide employee.

Oxide and Friends
Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age

Um, so, um, you know, a few crashes that I wanted to investigate that, you know, there were things that I couldn't find anybody talking about them on the ghosty GitHub.

Oxide and Friends

So I figured they were pretty rare.
