I agree. We need people to create test runners that are more git diff aware, fail faster and provide prompt like context to aid an LLM in solving the problem.
I think there’s a workflow here where you combine code coverage + faker-like data and you have a semi-automated fuzzer that fails if the LLM hardcodes fake data or the LLM fails to properly test code. Still need to experiment with this
Locked cap table data = messy audits, migration nightmares, and vendor jail. That’s why OCF matters: ✅ Standardized ✅ Exportable ✅ No vendor lock-in Walter stores all cap table data in OCF, because fixing bad data isn’t your job. getwalter.com/news/open-cap-…

Don’t make things so you can make money; make money so you can make things.
In 2022 @INL published the code to unlocking <$1/kg H2 from a low-emissions heat source, in this case a Light Water Reactor (LWR). This unlocks the pathway to synthetic fuels at a lower cost than fossil fuels. It has been sitting in plain view ever since.
