- CLI coding agents are a fundamentally different tool to chatbots or autocomplete tools - they're agents that can read code, run tests, and update a codebase. Ben O'Mahony explains that while commercial tools are impressive, they don't understand the particular context of our...
- One of the pieces of the Python standard library I tend to use the most is argparse. It is really convenient so I chose to implement that in Pystd. The conversion was fairly simple, with one exception. As C++ is not duck typed, adapting the behaviour to be strictly typed while...
