With the LLM labs raising prices - I’ve been working on a great new set of tools. They’re called “Integrated Development Environments.” They work with formal specification languages, and a series of language processing models to turn that formal language into working software. Best of all, there is little to no cost and they can be hosted entirely locally - even on very old hardware. And they work with the platforms you support today. All without usage limits.

@colincornaby can I get in on the ground floor of this new initiative? I think you might be in to something.

@colincornaby suggested term for the thing that can turn Prompt Specification Syntax Language into runnable software: a "compiler"

@colincornaby I'm trying to use a plainer implementation of that technology distributed by GNU and I absolutely love the generative text processing features like ‘kmacro-end-or-call-macro’.

@colincornaby It will never work! What you and the other new kids seem to forget is that you need to "pay" one or more "workers" to actually drive those software generation tools, probably indefinitely! Before you know it, they start demanding you actually take good care of them, too! The cost will go through the roof, you see!

@colincornaby I have also invented a cutting-edge IDE but I'm not going to release it yet because it's too powerful: in the wrong hands it could be used for productive software development and the LLM industry could be brought to collapse. Oh wait brb

@colincornaby I'm working on this new kind of automation. It's like an LLM, but it's declarative, simple, and get this.. the output is testable, consistent, and so efficient you can run it on an RPI zero! I call it "scripting."

@colincornaby yeah but I heard they were deterministic and reliable too. Where's the risk that it makes a massive mistake and deletes your database?
