Id be keen to read/hear more about the experiment you've been undertaking as I too have been thinking the impact on the design/architecture/organising of software.

The focus mainly seems to be on enhancing existing workflows to produce code we currently expect - often you hear its like a junior dev.

The type of rethinking you outlined could have code organised in such a way a junior dev would never be able to extend but our 'junior dev' LLM can iterate through changes easily.

I care more about the properties of software e.g. testable, extendable, secure than how it organised.

Gets me to think of questions like

- what is the correlation between how code is organised vs its properties? - what is the optimal organisation of code to facilitate llms to modify and extend software?


Its not even a POC at this point, just a readme and a sandbox for testing it while I work on it. But you might find the readme interesting:

I'm especially pleased with how explicit it makes the inner dependency graph. Today I'm tinkering with pact (https://docs.pact.io/). I like that I'm forced to add the pact contracts generated during consumer testing as flake outputs (so they can then be inputs to whichever flake does provider testing). It's potentially a bit more work than it would be under other schemes, but it also makes the directionality of the dependency into a first class citizen and not an implementation detail. Otherwise it would be easy to forget which batch of tests depends on artifacts generated by the other.

I suppose there's things like Bazel for that sort of thing also but I don't think you can drop an agent into a bazel... thingy... and expect it to feel at home.


I recently discovered Tauri. What was the development experience like? Is the project open source? I'd like to take a look :D


It was frictionless to get everything up and running.

Communication between the frontend and backend is via an `invoke` method, easy as pie :).

It's not open source, but once I get the Apple developer stuff all done, I'll add an auto-update feature and open source it.



I'm intrigued by the various reasons why you think there are not any large scale SAAS operating this in production?


I was referring to attributes of the ComfyUI software/project, not the idea of serving an image generation API to be clear. There are several of those providers.


i dont believe there is a viable use case for large scale AI-generated images as there is for text... except for porn, but many orgs with SAAS capabilities wouldn't touch that


This is my algorithm for wetware llms.
