> sad to see how the fully AI generated "why this matters" section in the blog gives a lingering vibe of slop.

I am quoting this verbatim from offending section:

Why this matters

The traditional eBPF workflow is: write C for the BPF side, compile with clang, then write Go or Rust or Python for the userspace side. Two languages, separate build steps, multiple processes.

With Whistler 1.0, the workflow is: write Lisp. The compiler, loader, and userspace application share a process. You can develop at the REPL — modify a probe, re-eval the form, see results immediately. The feedback loop is instant.

Seems like a reasonable paragraph. I sincerely feel we must stop tainting things with the "slop" pejorative unless it really seems egregious. Also in 2026 is it easy to be so confident about what was generated by a human, edited by a human or generated by an LLM ?

My main metric is: does the paragraph add value ? It does to me as a summary.

That dude just wanted everyone to know that he found the emdash, that he is so vigorously looking for in everything he reads these days.

It's more the repeated 'rule of three' that's getting me here.

That said, this is a relatively tame tack-on to a very meaty post, not worth harping on unless the project itself has similar issues.

The author has been using AI for other Lisp projects.

He's been also doing Lisp projects before GenAI, so…

Yes, but it seems to me like atgreen takes care to ensure the result is decent, so I would hesitate before calling it slop. I may be wrong, though.

if you rip out linux from your linux distribution you usually end up with GNU.

So, that would make this GNU/Windows

They could brand it as “New Windows”

Out with the old, in with the GNU.

well, maybe you should own your agent and fund a cooperative for that purpose?

so: where do you go and what do you do? All your land and food is subject to property laws and the way things are going the owners will be allowed violence to enforce their rights. Essentially you'll be a serf again just like 99% of other people and 95% on this site (which sadly has owners very much intent to become our lords)

>so: where do you go and what do you do?

Literally anywhere else where a house doesn't cost 7 figures? I think you're missing the point of the OP, which is that nobody is going to want to buy overpriced houses in superstar cities, and that bodes badly for real estate agents.

Private equity will buy them all up and rent them out.

We will own nothing and be told to be happy or else.

look at grist! I played around with it and it seemed quite awesome.

Not even remotely near Access 2.0 from 1994.

TIL hn will tell me about archeology just a bikeride from my office.

very fun!

probably the likes of Enics and GPV - nowadays this is likely a field overrun by military demand and private equity squeezing the supply side... Also I doubt that they can/want to compete with jlcpcb et al.

Good to see that hands are still not solved...

> It also strikes me as a uniquely difficult challenge to track down the decision maker who is willing to take the risk on revamping these systems (AI or not).

here that person is a manager which got demoted from ~500 reports to ~40 and then convinced his new boss that it's good to reuse his team for his personal AI strategy which will make him great again.
