what if AI produces code so bad every online service and piece of software gets poisoned by bad code so much we cant run AI models anymore cuz everything is crashing and we have to go back to doing code by hand so AI can run and then AI ruins code again and so on and so on

Behind every iPhone. His compiler.
Behind every Android. His compiler.
Behind every NVIDIA GPU. His compiler.

Meet Chris Lattner 🇺🇸

> Started LLVM in late 2000 at UIUC as part of his graduate research.
> LLVM is a compiler infrastructure ~ the software that turns code into machine instructions.
> Apple hired him in 2005. He stayed 12 years.
> His toolchain now powers iPhone, iPad, Mac, PlayStation, Android NDK, and NVIDIA's CUDA.
> Also built Clang ~ the C/C++ compiler used by Google, Microsoft, and Sony.
> Built Swift in secret. Nights and weekends. While leading a 40+ person Apple team by day.
> Apple leadership was skeptical. He shipped it anyway. 🚀
> Swift now powers the vast majority of iOS apps on earth.
> Won the ACM Software System Award ~ same as Unix, Java, and TCP/IP.
> 2017 ~ Tesla VP of Autopilot. Worked in Elon's orbit. Left in 5 months.
> Joined Google Brain. Built MLIR ~ the compiler infrastructure behind TensorFlow.
> 2020 ~ joined SiFive to build open-source chips competing with Intel and ARM.
> 2022 ~ left Big Tech entirely. Founded Modular AI.
> Built Mojo ~ a new AI language that runs Python up to 35,000x faster.
> LLVM, Clang, Swift — all open-source. Mojo follows in 2026.
> Targeting NVIDIA's $4.8 trillion CUDA dominance. Raised $380M. Valued at $1.6B.
> Still writes code. Still answers GitHub issues himself.

He spent over 25 years building the compilers Big Tech is built on.
Now he's openly building the one that could break NVIDIA.

What a mind. Compiler GOAT. 🧠🐐

Some time ago I coded a TUI Minesweeper in Pascal. Today I coded an AI agent in C to play that Minesweeper for me so I have more time to increase the shareholder's value. This is only the beginning. We are not ready for what's coming.

Wading Through AI episode 2 is now up! In it, @DemetriSpanos and I discuss the recent Anthropic announcement about building a C compiler with "parallel Claudes", and how to properly assess AI announcements in general.

Very often I want to temporarily disable a piece of code. I comment it out, but then I'm faced with a problem that since the code is never compiled it gets "stale". Some functions it uses may have changed and it is never type checked. So the next time I enable it, it doesn't compile and I spent a lot of time fixing it.

The solution I came up with so far is to "comment out" the code with the runtime `if (0)`. The code will never be executed, the optimizer will very like eliminate the code entirely, but before doing so the compiler will type check it, and will force me to fix it on the spot.

Ever wondered what Cursor's Agent would feel like if it weren't running in Electron?
You don't have to wonder anymore!
