Astral founder Charlie Marsh, creator of Ruff and uv, sparks debate on prioritizing software speed versus correctness

@charliermarsh Why not both Charlie

@charliermarsh Heard an interesting take this week from a token maxxer (spending $200-$1000 per day).

Use the best model available. Less time wasted reviewing.

(This person also has 20 agents running at the same time, so everything is basically async.)

We should be able to make some good follow-up jokes no matter the results

@thsottiaux There’s no reason to settle for less than both

@charliermarsh A secret third thing

@jarredsumner @charliermarsh give us fable jarred

@jarredsumner I know. Second option was just for laughs.

@charliermarsh Is this even a question?

@charliermarsh

@charliermarsh fast is correct

@thsottiaux @charliermarsh Both is the correct answer, Tibo strikes again!

@charliermarsh if it's slow i won't know its correct because i've already cancelled it

@thsottiaux @charliermarsh Only kids make choices — Tibo wants it all

@thsottiaux @charliermarsh and cheap, plz

@charliermarsh Is it easy to determine automatically when it's incorrect? Because if it's fast enough, rerunning it until it's correct may still be faster a lot of the time

@charliermarsh Oh stop it.

@charliermarsh I can deal with my own time management if the system is correct.

@charliermarsh Thank god you had me concerned for a sec. Autism fortunately or unfortunately can make everything seem, well, literal

@charliermarsh First rule of software engineering:

Make it work, make it nice, make it fast (if necessary) Kent Beck
