Hello, My name is Bryan MacLee. I am co-owner of a small trucking company in rural Ut. I run the business, drive, mechanic, apparently I'm the HR department. I am also a husband, father and sometimes, a wannabe coder.

This message is from me. I typed it. but ~96% of what you read (99.9% for the actual code) is claude "written". (I don't care about the exact brand as long as I have a tool that will get the job done.) I do my best to skim, and review as much as I can. But (see the prior list). If you find this interesting, continue reading. if you find something doesn't quite add up (or some straight up bullshit). let me know.

This is my third round with the ai and coding. the first two were pretty underwhelming. This time around I wasn't expecting much but I thought "the hell with it" and I tried out claude. I was fudging impressed.

I had been working with these ideas (in one way or another) for a long time. Over the course of about 3 years I learned (yes, the old school way, not much different than I am doing right now) how compilers work and how to implement various parts in various methods. programming has always been my favorite activity. the thing that I look forward to all the time (other than hanging with my wife and kids. Of course.)

After my first couple of experiments with claude I realized, I might actually be able to build this language. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely could write this language by hand. I can say that factually. BUT it would absolutely take me 10-20 years to do it. I think the ideas are worth surfacing at least.
