The full story
This experiment came out of a debate about what programming language makes sense if humans are no longer the main authors. Rather than having AI emit binaries directly, which loses the program's meaning, the author asked Claude to build a whole application stack written directly in LLVM's intermediate representation. It turned out that works.
