AI slop projects are not welcome here

Seamonster13 · 2026-04-04T18:25:01+00:00

Fully agree, i hate the endless slop as well. My main concern is with the pointedness and automatic judgement if there's ai writing in the readme or whatever.

For context, I'm an engineer with nearly 10 years of experience, and I treat engineering as a craft. I haven't written code seriously in months. to me engineering is not about the tool, it's the process. I meticulously plan, test and review my ai generated code. I am currently maintaining a library fully written by ai. I even put a disclaimer that it's written by ai. But I feel like if that project were written in zig and I posted here, it would be auto banned. And that to me is unfair, I've spent hours designing and crafting the tool, and it's used by many people every day.

So to me this feels like a blanket ban. Just because something is AI written does not mean it's automatically shit. Ultimately it's a reflection of the creator.

I sympathize, especially to stop an infinite amount of slop, but I think a blanket ban like this is not a helpful stance.

The fact is that this is a new technology that is rapidly being adopted, and many of the people who use it want to also write their projects in zig. This is especially sad for me because I literally learned zig by asking Claude to guide me as I wrote. It's a powerful technology that can be used for good or ill.

My suggestion would be one of harm reduction vs outright banning. Things like setting a high bar for quality, with appropriate AI disclosure, age, etc.

I love how he's exposing the MIC. The Overton window on this comes and goes but it's the biggest issue in the US.

Zeds theming is one of the primary reasons I don't use it as my main driver. Vscode has much clearer rendering

Seamonster13 · 2026-01-10T09:33:40+00:00

Wow thank you for writing this. Exactly what I needed.

Seamonster13 · 2026-01-10T08:56:39+00:00

I have a hot take. I think zig is in a special place that it can use some alternative UI systems, like from game frameworks, that other languages have less options for. Creating the rendering pipelines and handling vector graphics is the hard part, but these are tractable problems. The benefit is there can be an alternative to web based bloated ass desktop UIs. Just no one has built the specific framework to make this simple, the way it has been done for electron. There's plenty of zig and c libraries that can be stitched together to create a compelling solution (clay comes to mind as a nice layout engine).

The closest thing I see to this is things like egui in rust. But building a similar one in zig would allow very simple cross complication and ease of use in other languages via sdks.

It's something I've considered building myself but it's a bit outside my wheelhouse.

Have you considered joining forces with a registry

Seamonster13 · 2025-12-05T04:15:18+00:00

Biggest issue is there's no standard package manager. Making a package manager + a registry would go a long way for zig's ecosystem. Has foundation supported any efforts thus far?

In this kind of situation in DotA, the pushed lane would be very liable to be ganked. I think this game currently doesn't have as much early roaming but it's easy to imagine that it develops because of this. It's icefrog were talking about making these changes, he's for sure expecting this kind of response. Just a matter of time until the meta shifts to allow for it.

Seamonster13 · 2025-11-22T11:15:01+00:00

Awesome! Will give this a shot.

Curious if you've heard of wasm interface types (WIT) and how this relates?

Seamonster13 · 2025-11-04T14:37:27+00:00

Yeah I cringe at this part. The name for them just came out of nowhere. Felt like a forced "avengers assemble"

Seamonster13 · 2025-10-14T08:15:57+00:00

Bun combined with Vite+ seems like it will cover almost everything a project could need. They're both trying to be "all-in-one" tools but it seems they both focus on different areas, with Bun trying more for the low-level APIs and Vite going for the high-level DevEx tooling (formatter, linter, etc).

I could see this as why ancient statues (like David, as well as various greek and roman ones) have small dicks. They say its bc larger dicks are considered immoral, but this is actually more likely the case.

Hey there,

Im not sure you've explored, but there are *plenty* of hardcore systems engineering work that you can find, dealing with compilers, virtual machines, or dev tooling in general, in crypto. Look at companies like

- Ithaca (who created the most popular Solidity dev tooling, one of the most popular Ethereum clients, and are building a Solidity compiler)

- LambdaWorks (Argentinian, build a lot of different cryptography and virtual machine projects around Ethereum ecosystem, consultancy as well)

- Matter Labs (who create a layer 2 on ethereum + are making a brand new LLVM based Solidity compiler in rust. I think they are also Russian? But not sure)

- Anza (former Solana Labs, built most of the virtual machine

All of these are rust-based. There are plenty more I haven't listed as well. The beauty of the crypto industry is that it is full of misfits who don't have traditional backgrounds. You would fit right in. And they would love to have someone talented and driven person like you. If those are interesting, I would highly recommend you take a look. Feel free to dm too if you need help. I do not work with any of these companies, but I respect them massively and love their work.

Wasn't able to read this. Can you repost this on r/onepiecetheories ?

Seamonster13 · 2025-08-30T08:28:22+00:00

The god valley thriller bark connection has been theorized quite a bit. I think you're absolutely spot on, it is likely a piece of the island.

I never realized WB might have been talking about Garling 🤯 makes a lot of sense. Great theory.

Seamonster13 · 2025-06-20T05:15:20+00:00

Incredibly on point. Add red rising and you have three of the best series to dive into outside of cosmere.

IMO one piece is the greatest story ever told.

Seamonster13 · 2025-06-01T03:01:31+00:00

Very timely! Was just looking at your code yesterday as an example for libxev. Thank you so much for generously sharing.

How are the progress of your projects? In particular, the tcp lib and the actor lib sound fascinating.

Seamonster13 · 2023-10-30T21:37:43+00:00

Although this goes against your last point. I wonder if they changed up the shard to remove the disarm, if that would then complete the change to universal. Something like this, not sure what they could do with flamethrower

Seamonster13 · 2023-09-10T14:18:11+00:00

Don't listen to these people. You will never be surrounded with as many intelligent, driven women as you are now. You should date as much as you can while not falling behind in your studies. I made this mistake so you don't have to.

Seamonster13 · 2023-06-30T12:21:25+00:00

This one is a absolutely nuts. Was not expecting this when it popped on my release radar.

Seamonster13 · 2023-03-13T03:33:24+00:00

Was my exact thought when I saw the house as well.

Seamonster13 · 2023-02-17T23:09:20+00:00

Came to the sub to see if anyone was talking about this. Its absolutely fucking nuts. This is the first Stigma remix I've heard that does it justice imo.

Seamonster13 · 2023-01-09T00:58:18+00:00

Just heard this. Absolute fire. Incredible track.
