It does everything better and orders of magnitude faster than me. And has absolutely no issue writing Symta code. In a few days it rewrote Symta and speed it up by an order of magnitude. And that is without even touching native complication or JIT. It just seen all the cache miss places, and moved a few thing here and there.
The hardest part for Claude was porting the parse to C. Symta's syntax baroque enough for AI to get some bugs on the first try. But Claude fixed all bugs on 2nd try. And I confused it by telling to implement weak hash for metadata. Weak hashes ended up 10x slower than than just a wrapper object.
TLDR: don't tell frontier AI how to code, it knows better.
If you don't know what architecture to use, as AI to survey, benchmark each approach and pick the best. Which Claude offers by default. Never be overconfident.
