Seeing a number of people commenting on "A Metallurgist’s Doubts About Self-Replicating Probes", and it's making me think about "what if amino acids are the probe?"

What would "heirloom quality" products, things worth passing down generations, look like, and is that even a goal worth pursuing?
Do we bother to build things to last, or do we just melt down the parts and repurpose them?
(Buildings, furniture, tech, tools, etc...)
Okay, so the line number error reported by the build process was from the bundler, not from Typescript, which is why it had nothing to do with the code I was looking at.
When I say that the appeal of LLMs for programming comes from modern languages and tools being shit: this is why.
