The latest big refactor

I want to make sure everything is still working as I‘ve just deployed the latest refactor of my publishing software. I previously wrote about the rendering tool, but this is the publishing side of things, it‘s the software that manages the content through a neat publishing workflow once you‘ve pushed it to Github.

As far as refactors go, this was kind of a big one. There had been a apparent misunderstanding between me and the LLM for quite a while. I thought we were on the same page about the architecture, so did the LLM, but we kept running into strange dislocations in the code. It‘s not always obvious immediately that this is happening, because sometimes the LLMs do come up with some really novel ways of architecting things, they have access to basically all of programming through all of time after all. Anyway the same sort of thing kept happening, but in different ways.

I eventually got to the bottom of it, and when I pointed out the ridiculousness of two entities that were clearly supposed to be different things, in the mind of the AI they were the same thing. Anyhow perhaps a story for another blog post.

For now just hoping this makes it onto the blog later tonight. Should know by morning if it worked. #
