Re:DeepSeek: X2 Speed for WASM with SIMD

I think, seeing recordings of people using LLMs to accomplish non-trivial tasks would go a long way.
I’d love to watch, e.g. you Simon, using these tools. I assume there are so many little tricks you figured out over time that together make a big difference. Things that come to mind:
- how to quickly validate the output?
- what tooling to use for iterating back and forth with the LLM? (just a chat?)
- how to steer the LLM towards a certain kind of solutions?
- what is the right context to provide to the LLM? How do it technically?

I believe Simon has full transcripts for some of the projects he’s had LLMs generate the code for. You can see how he steers the LLM for what is desired and how it is course corrected.
I've published probably over a hundred of those now, but they're scattered around. This tag on my blog has a lot of them: https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/
The ones who are self-starters will do fine - they'll figure out how to accelerate their way up the learning curve using these new tools.
People who prefer classroom-learning / guided education are going to be at a disadvantage for a few years while the education space retools for this new world.
