On the note of language choice, i've been experimenting with Claude Code recently and thought the other day how happy i am to be using Rust with it and how afraid i'd be in Python, JS, etc.

I've noticed Claude Code introduces quite a few errors and then walks through the compile errors to fix things up. Refactors/etc also become quite easy with this workflow from CC.

I'm sure it does well in dynamic languages, but given how much the LLM leans into these compile errors i get the feeling it would simply miss more things if there was none/less.

So far though my #1 concern is finding ways to constraining the LLM. It produces slop really, really quick and when it works more slowly i can avoid some of the review process. Eg i find stubbing out methods and defining the code path i want, in code, rather than trying to explain it to the LLM to be productive.

Still in my infancy of learning this tool though. It feels powerful, but also terrifying in hands of lazy folks just pushing through slop.
