> Absolutely agree with this, the ratio of talk to output is insane, especially when the talk is all about how much better output is.

Those of us building are having so much fun we aren't slowing down to write think pieces.

I don't mean this flippantly. I'm a blogger. I love writing! But since a brief post on December 22 I haven't blogged because I have been too busy implementing incredible amounts of software with AI.

Since you'll want receipts, here they are:

- https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/tree/trunk/item/READ...

- https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/rooibos/tree/trunk/item/README.rd...

- https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/tokra/tree

Between Christmas and New Year's Day I was on vacation, so I had plenty of time. Since then, it's only been nights & weekends (and some early mornings and lunch breaks).

Are these software popular? Are these maintainable long term? Are you getting feedback from users?

RatatuiRuby is pretty new still: its beta launch was Jan 20. Octobox's TUI is built on it [0], and Sidekiq is using it to build theirs [1].

I believe they'll be maintainable long-term, as they've got extensive tests and documentation, and I built a theory of the program [2] on the Ruby side of it as I reviewed and guided the agent's work.

I am getting feedback from users, the largest of which drove the creation of (and iteration upon) Rooibos. As a rendering library, RatatuiRuby doesn't do much to guide the design or architecture of an application. Rooibos is an MVU/TEA framework [3] to do exactly that.

Tokra is basically a tech demo at this stage, [4] so (hopefully) no users yet.

Appreciate the response. My primary concern with llm coding is long term maintainability. The paper you linked seems interesting, will give it a read!
