Comment on The biggest mystery known to mankind
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 week agoOh yeah, I was mostly just kidding with the LLM compiler bit. I’ve run into issues with incremental compiles working on the JVM ecosystem myself (mainly Kotlin though, as my work in the ecosystem took place early this decade). Still didn’t want to clean build every time though, because on an M1 Pro it was about 5 minutes to build some of our backend services from scratch and I tend to like a really rapid feedback loop for testing, changing code, recompiling, re-testing.
These days my docker container reloads the entire project when I edit any file, but it takes 10 seconds since there’s no need to compile anything since it’s Python. Pure bliss in comparison (the development pace that is; I actually liked Kotlin more as a language even though Python is fine)

Android had a quick deploy feature where you could push minor changes like text or layout updates to the phone while testing without having to actually rebuild it. Like press button and a couple seconds later it updates.
It without fail over years and years of trying to use it, always failed frequently, and you’d end up with unexpected behavior or crashes. For a time anyway, they tried to default it to on.
Im not sure what the current state of it is today, I just stopped bothering to test it out.
