I Hate AI, so I Built a Compiler
Learn how one developer's frustration with AI-generated code led them to build a compiler from scratch, highlighting the need for better foundations in AI-assisted development and the importance of deterministic programming
- Burn AI-generated code to identify limitations
- Learn a new programming language from scratch using online resources
- Design a custom compiler with specific features like WORM immutability
- Implement memory laws to enforce data integrity
- Test and iterate on the compiler to ensure it works as intended
- Document the project and its goals in a README file
Software engineers and developers on a team can benefit from understanding the limitations of AI-generated code and the value of building custom solutions, while product managers can appreciate the potential of deterministic programming for improving system reliability
💡 Deterministic programming and custom solutions can be more reliable than AI-generated code
🚫 Frustrated with AI-generated code, one dev built a custom compiler from scratch 💻
