hilariously, coding agent AIs spend a lot of time looking at compilation errors and trying to fix their shit... you know, just like people.
(sometimes to the point where it says, "f*ck it!!!" and deletes-and-rewrites entire files.)
maybe that says something about the entire programming paradigm we have?
oh and the AIs grep the heck out of things when trying to do work. which to me indicates using arbitrary unconstrained unhindered ascii (let alone unicode) is kind of a horrible thing. there's just no semantics. we should always be working in abstract syntax probably ideally instead. i mean we shouldn't have to "grep foobar /" every time. lord knows that's like 80% of what i as a human have to do when programming since the tools are never really working right.
