Where exactly, beyond the hype of "vibe-coding" and "instant solution" potions, AI can deliver sustainable value?

I wanted to use AI agents; badly! But I kept struggling and couldn't understand how they can be anything special.

Over time I got to know The Machine beyond the hype and developed a mindset that helped me speak its language.

Thrilled to announce the release of #bjForth v0.0.3 🎉

A heap of improvements and additions. What's best is that they are automatically tested every time a change is pushed 😎

Grab the latest tarball and hack yourself some serious Forth.

How simple-minded of me to think JONESFORTH's execution model can easily be translated to Java 🤦😅🤔

I just implemented the INTERPRET word along with tests in #bjForth.

A small step for the #Forth world, a giant step for bjForth.

Behold a screenshot of #SCID on a FHD vertical monitor.

There 5 databases open with "tree" and "best tree games" windows.

There are also 5 engines running simultaneously.

SCID rocks 🚀

In case you're interested, #bjForth master is broken as I am refactoring the tests case by case. The idea is to make them uniform, less verbose and more readable.

Are you actively using #bmakelib or have used/tried it in the past? If yes, would you be comfortable with me asking a few questions about what you liked and what you didn't? If yes, could you favourite this toot or drop me a message? Thanks in advance.

Working on #bjForth, I'm having trouble reading `INTERPRET` in jonesforth.S:2090, especially mapping it #Java.

Have you done this before? If not, would you be so kind as to give it a read and tell me in English or pseudo-code what does it do?

I'm back to BSky after quite a while. Though there have been changes to the UI and settings, the community feels as good as it was before.

I just need to get myself to write a custom feed which matches my particular interest.

#bjForth implementation has come a long way. Now I'm writing the code for the `INTERPRET` word - serious stuff!

I'm essentially just a few inches away from being able to feed Forth code to bjForth - fun times indeed!

Just integrated my #CommonLisp project (euler-cl) with #Codecov

Now I can see test coverage trends and enjoy a sweet badge 🙌
It'll hopefully help you with your projects. To get started take a look at this commit: github.com/bahmanm/eule...

When starting #bjForth, I spent some time writing builders for my tests so they read naturally.
That, paired with the custom assertions I wrote with #AssertJ, has really made my test code read very fluently.
An upfront investment I don't regret at all 😎

Victory 🙌

I got #Codecov working with my #Prolog project 😎 It means, now I have #TestCoverage reports as part of the #CICD pipeline!

Next up is documenting the process for the interested folks. Stay tuned 📻
