I have been experimenting with having Claude Code and Codex pair program together and roleplay where Claude is Jeff Dean and Codex is Sanjay… The results have been great so far and no fancy setup is needed

@puf Seems like it. I have NOT talked to the folks doing the work, but I'm guessing the intermixing of the widgets from the core framework makes any notion of clean history preservation pretty tricky and of questionable value vs cost/complexity.

[Frank van Puffelen @puf]

@kevmoo Makes total sense. 👏

Maintaining history when moving significant code always seems reasonable at first, until the endless array of edge-cases starts.

Aan het einde van de oorlog (in Dutch only) tells the story of the final 24 hours of a concentration camp near the end of world war 2.

Hearing the same events told from many perspectives gives the story remarkable breadth and depth.

Easy four stars.

@puf Critical to note: (at some point) we will have an ~equal number of removals from flutter/flutter.

[Frank van Puffelen @puf]

@kevmoo No no no... bigger bundles FTW!

More seriously: since it's not a move in one go, I assume the per-widget history is gonna be broken going forward (not complaining, just confirming)?

@NoheDev @lmoroney Ooh... I recently did that with a question I couldn't figure out. I never post an LLM answer to Stack Overflow, but it did an eerily good puf-answer-style-and-voice.

[Frank van Puffelen @puf]

If you've ever wondered whether LLMs were trained on your code: yes, probably.

Here's how I found fingerprints of my own answers on Stack Overflow in ChatGPT's output.

@puf Very first time I did code gen with ChatGPT to build a TensorFlow neural network, it copied one of my course samples word for word.

Didn't know to be flattered or upset!

[Frank van Puffelen @puf]

@lmoroney I am just happy that all the materials that we created are still leading to value for developers.

[Frank van Puffelen @puf]

@lmoroney 🤭😂

I see more and more companies dropping the uppercase characters at the start of their sentences.

I hope they realize that lowercase sentence openers won't make their startup look like Linear or Vercel.

You can't borrow credibility by dropping caps.

[Frank van Puffelen @puf]

Gemini now has an option to import memory from other agents. 👏

It's a nice start, but what I really want them to do is to synchronize memory automatically, periodically, and between all agents.

Don't tell me to join *your* walled garden.
Instead, make them all interoperate.

[Frank van Puffelen @puf]

Talk to me, fam.

How many Ls are there in LLM, John?

One shots are nonsense when the corpus is well documented. Try that again, but you can’t use the word Minecraft. https://t.co/JHbhqKIvvh

@dariadroid They clearly should rebrand to RevenueBunny for the day! 💰🐰💙

The number of questions posted to Stack Overflow about Firebase seems to follow a middlefinger distribution.
