       | Weird submission. When I open the link I read that the tool is
       | deprecated.

       | Doesn't that workflow sound backwards? I'd much rather write the
       | tests themselves (so I can be sure it's working as expected in my
       | mind + get a somewhat reasonable interface for the functions),
       | then let a LLM write the implementation, than the other way
       | around.
       | 
       | I guess the end-goal is the same as "Acceptance Testing", have
       | the LLMs write both unit tests and implementation. Just missing
       | the piece of letting the LLMs debug the inevitable crashes that
       | will happen in production, and be able to hotfix it, so the
       | website visitors (LLM crawlers) don't complain.

         | Once you design the API and write a first couple of unit tests,
         | LLMs are pretty good at writing up the rest, including a lot of
         | corner cases.

       | There's an overview video of just-released v1 (early access),

       | Best UX so far.
       | 
       | Wish it had FIM completion via local LLM or Gemini Flash like
       | models and better Git GUI, it would have replaced vscode for me
       | already then.

         | I agree. Zed is the future.

       | magical.
