Thanks for the improvement. Highly appreciated.

Nope. Probably never will be.

I was in the second camp until last summer, having been hand-writing code since 1979.

On this; I think we may just have to let go of pride & kudos and their connection to our identity.

For those who may be interested - I broke down some numbers for my CHasm and Fe2O3 efforts in a new blog post: https://isene.org/2026/05/Audience-of-One-Numbers.html

Hmmm

I do the same also

No idea. Probably quite expensive. I usually run 4-5 concurrent CC sessions, so hard to pinpoint for just CHasm and Fe2O3

Dictionaries on the second row down that aisle.

Just goes to show how little I know about Rust.

Cool reply & thanks for the links.

I monitored the process very tightly. I have programmed my fair share of asm (and some 30 other programming languages), but for this I did not read any code. I hit lots of obstacles on this road, lots. In the process we also created a complete TTF rasterizer on par with what kitty gives me, and that was a true deep-dive.

That would be a huge payload with a few thousand prompts...

I like the image. It was simple.

Thanks. I'll look into it and borrow whatever is useful there into bolt.

A really good and thoughtful response. Thanks.

I need Claude Max in any case for my work, so the cost is effectively null. And I do creative stuff in my spare time regardless, and I don't really think about my hourly rate when I play with my kids either ;)

^^ some anti-luddism right there

I'm sure I can. The original challenge was more in line of "I wonder if CC can do this now?"

And it apparently can. And very well.

One advantage seems to be that the complete asm file fits easily into CC context window.

I'm on Claude Max, so it didn't cost me anything more than the subscription I already have. Had to use it for Something. As for time - for the full CHasm and Fe2O3 suite of sw, I started the work 2026-03-29 and have probably spent 60h or so of my time. But then again I have a very tailored CC setup that I have fine-tuned since last summer with more than 70 CC projects helping me get it the way I need it to be since then.

It feels very different. It's all damn instant. Me happy.

Less memory footprint. No reliance on libs. Pure first-person control. No wasted CPU cycles is the target here for me. And if you read the post, the asm set is only for the desktop itself. The tools I use are in Rust. Result is: Laptop now runs at between 5-6W (down from ~9W) [XPS14 latest hw] on Ubuntu 26.04 - giving me around 3.5h extra battery life.

OP did this: Prompted CC for all the points I wanted included (something like a 200 word prompt) and asked CC to draft it, including all the links added to the table I furnished. Then I edited the draft (about 50% then edited). Then asked CC to spellcheck and fixed the 5 it found.

Thanks. Will check that out.

That's an excellent request. Thanks. Will do.

Nope. It handles pipes and everything else as it shells out on system()

Should be. Anyone with Windows, please do try, and I would be grateful for a quick report.

rbsh is actually a cool idea. I just might adopt that.
