Post

Inviting controversy with this take, which is outside of my comfort zone, but I do stand by it. You can generate good quality code with LLMs, it “just” requires a tonne of human oversight and automated guard rails. Got a week off then I’ll be building my first proper post with webernetes. Stoked.

I still can’t believe that this widget sits on top of 100,00 lines of etcd, kubelet, cluster networking, probing, pod lifecycle, deployment controller, namespace controller, GC controller, and more. And all of the perf issues I had with it were React and the SVG filters in the bloody blog theme.

Do you know if you went from TS 6 to TS 7 there'd be any performance gains?

I’m not aware of any reason there would be. As I understand it, there’s not much difference between the output JS from the TS compiler between 6 and 7.

Gotcha, so it's likely just faster and lighter compile times during dev/build?
