Things must improve.

Which of these languages are best for AI? A rhetorical poll.

New article: Which of these languages are best for AI? blog.ploeh.dk/2026/03/09/w...

I had a long chat about this with friends. If nobody reads the code anyway, or not needed to touch it, I suppose it could be assembly (or a platform independent IL). If *I* am expected to optimize or fix parts of AI generated code (now or later) then the language *I* am the most fluent with.

I know these tools, and I am thinking buying a hw for it, but not sure what could be the best, given there is everything from a few hundred euros to thousands. Models are getting smaller and cheaper to run.

Do you have sources in this space to follow? I am really keen on having something locally.

So that to have AI to review AI written code, or simply for yourself?

But I don't get how law works. Some things are considered the same but some not. ie. the Uber vs Taxi.

These are typically not regulated markets (incl. crypto). They are prone the all the market manipulations that we have seen in the past. That is why they are popular: people try to get rich by using old tricks on unregulated markets and naive users.

Because there is a package for everything, and most of the work is boring integration and glue of packages.

I also notice that reviewing code is hard. In teams I worked only 1 out of 10 devs can do a decent code review. I think this is the main problem for long term maintainabilty, and circles back the question. Does the language matter, why not just assembly code then?

My experience with AI is that it generates OK code. On my primary language I can still write significantly better performing code. I also often find that it generates a solution, but as soon as I see it, I realize how to improve it. Something, that I would notice otherwise much sooner if I write it

Why does AI still write code on a certain language? Does the programming language matter? If it generates overblown solutions over time that nobody reads anyway, why not generate assembly or some sort of a cross platform IL and simplify the compilation step?

got it, thanks

Why not back up to a blob in azure storage?

I think re-usable building blocks are readily available more than ever before. Most enterprise "projects" are just integrating services in the simplest possible way without any real added value. 0 engineering, 0 thinking. This does not require talent.

Is thinking about it as a blog tailored CMS a good analogy? CMS like features make it valuable compared to say static blog site generation?

Yes, two tasks that are processed one after the other on single CPU, or concurrently (competing) on 2 CPUs.

Ambient contexts are usually culture, timezones, etc., but can be also CPU count, internet speed.

AI inverse:
The difference between a GUI and a TUI is the difference between arranging a room by simply moving the furniture where you want it, versus trying to decorate by typing out strict X and Y coordinates for every chair.

This is happening to me too. It is harder to reason about methods because they get (or not) inlined, and suddenly that completely changes the perf characteristics. Add something, IL gets bigger and not inlined anymore. It seems to have become more sensitive on things we cannot control easily.

That is cool.

Do you develop software at SpaceX? Are you "still" .NET based or did you switch?

Thank you very much! I will use your e-mail address I see on your blog. I will send the mail in day.

Or is HTTP/2 without a certificate supported?

How can I figure out why? Is this scenario supported?

@anthonychu.ca I am exploring container apps, and I'd like to setup a self-signed cert between the ingress and application (for HTTP/2). I have provided the certs for the app, and set insecure on the ingress. But I get this error: "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers..."

Good to see you back. May I ask why you had to be away? (if not too personal)

They learned the "good" lessons from Windows 🤣
