An opinionated (and mainly correct) guide to naming

Substack 3 months ago 7

An article discusses best practices for naming variables, functions, and classes in software development from a cognitive psychology perspective. The author cites a study showing that improving identifier names yields the largest returns for LLM code understanding and that clearer names reduce debugging time by 19%. Better naming practices help both humans and AI tools understand code intent more quickly and reduce the cognitive load required to maintain and reason about software.

I wrote a 70x faster SQL parser while barely looking at the code

posthog.com 3 months ago 53

PostHog rewrote its SQL parser using Claude AI in parallel coding sessions, producing 16K lines of hand-rolled Rust code that achieves 454x faster performance than the previous ANTLR-based C++ parser on production queries. The developer used property-based testing with a custom SQL generator based on the grammar file, along with code-coverage-guided fuzzing and production corpus testing, to ensure the new parser matched the oracle parser's behavior on millions of queries. The rewrite—which would have taken months without AI assistance—demonstrates that LLM-assisted hand-written parsers can outperform generated parser frameworks.
