Notes on rolling out Cursor and Claude Code

I'm wondering how much better llms are at "untyped"/loosely typed scripters like Ruby for large scale coding and error avoidance.

Presumably an llm can actually maintain better contextual awareness of code and variables than, say cold loaded syntax highlights.

They likely aren't. I'm getting occasional issues caught by type checks in the LLM output. They would be weird crashes instead in other languages.

ultimately, it comes down to training data and character count

llms can be better than most humans at applescript

just need a fuck ton in context

As a hobby rubyist, pretty terrible compared to Typescript. I suspect it's also that there's less Ruby in the training sata, but Ruby being so dynamic and ducktypable means it produces some truly nightmarish shit from time to time
