Some of the best LLM uses don't involve code generation. I found a Rust miscompilation, but the repro was inside Turbopack (huge, many crates). It would've taken hours to minimize by hand, but I used an agent to prune code/dependencies until the repro was just 34 lines. github.com/rust-lang/ru...

Miscompilation causing segfault with `dyn Future` on recent nightly versions · Issue #152735 · rust-lang/rust

This is the smallest possible reproduction I was able to come up with: use std::{any::Any, future::Future, pin::Pin}; trait TaskFn { fn call_task(&self) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send>>;...

Coming soon to Turbopack in Next.js 16: Babel configuration files (babel.config.js or .babelrc) will be automatically detected and run over your project code!

I&#39;m looking for review/feedback, but DO NOT MERGE UNTIL NEXT 16.0 IS RELEASED. This is not supported on 15.5, and merging these docs now would be confusing to users. If you want to try it out, ...

During JavaScript profiling, I identified repeated calls to the exclude function in the webpack configuration and implemented caching to optimize it. I tested the performance using the chakra-ui-d...
