Hi!

Anthropic just gave me 6 months of Claude Max plan for my contributions to the Julia ecosystem (PrettyTables.jl + SatelliteToolbox.jl).

 ![Captura de Tela 2026-08-04 às 21.50.38](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/a/a/aa09eea02b29d89a1093d44f8fbac095e58d958f.png)

I am so glad for three reasons:

1. It is a statement that the Julia language’s importance is getting higher every day.
2. It confirms that printing tables and working with satellites is a good thing to do 🙂
3. I would never be able to afford Claude Max 20x here 😅

This tool is really helping me a lot in those two packages! I will be able to improve them, fix bugs, and add new features in a way I would never have been able to. For example, the time to print the first table in PrettyTables.jl (text backend) was reduced by 50%. The reason was a type instability that I would probably never catch myself.

Now I can use Kaimon.jl for more than 50 min 😃

The larger context windows and more advanced models do result in higher quality generation, IMO.

No! I missed that. I was trying to create a very nice “notebook” (I do not know how to call) to help us designing orbits here 🙂

Yes notebook is a correct term.

We’ve been working on some extensions for Slate which already show stuff in space! Stay tuned for more. 🙂

Would it be relevant to remind people of the “discourse” on the use of agentic coding output only a few short months ago, in this thread?

While I was told several times that this topic was not centered on _my_ projects, it’s in my opinion important to note that it was split off by the moderators from _my announcement thread_, of my project Tachikoma.jl.

Well, hold on to your hats because we are taking vibes to a whole new level now! I call it **jazz coding**.

It’s like if your vibes became so powerful they started to do this:

You know Julia is only pro LLM language I am seeing after all or any of the other languages, simple to code and read so it is fun generating and moderating the code

It’s not perfect yet but I believe it’s ‘pretty good’. Please DM me with any support questions.

That sounds nice – please use it carefully and responsibly.

For the general scheme that is coming up here again: One reason I stopped being that active here in Discourse is (a) I am overwhelmed by AI slop – from students, from colleagues, in reviews I get, in people telling me I should use it more,…yet those I also get AI slopped – that I am super super super tired of people telling me to use more AI.

_IF_ people would start using AI responsibly

- do not annoy people that everyone should use it
- do not annoy everyone that I should spent more money on AIs (those super duper rich Tech Bros ar not yet rich enough!) otherwise it would not work
- do not take things personal if I criticise AI as if I criticise their religion (I think by now it is one)
- do not annoy people with slop PRs – I personally have enough of these by now.

So while everyone is preaching this to me – I really only very seldom see responsible use of AI (and whether that is on paid plans, I then simply do not know).

We need more social responsibility both for how these LLMs are provided/run _and_ how they are used.

And no worries – I also do not get grants currently, so additionally to me getting silent now again here, I am als not attending JuliaCon for lack of funding. Also in academia, you only get funding if you preach to the Tech Bros.

According to a 2026 UN report, the world has moved beyond a water crisis and into a state of global water bankruptcy. Water diversion to data centers has thus become an environmental and public health issue.

Would you say that I use AI responsibly? Or am I simply annoying people?
