Effect-TS
From Discord: Support for Empty Input and Output in Tooling for Real Developer Experiences
Summary
In the discussion, @sukazavr highlights the necessity for tooling within the Effect Typescript library to support both empty input and output cases. These cases are common in real-world development scenarios, such as when a tool returns the current time with no input or an operation changes an external system and signifies success without returning data. They noted that this functionality is not currently supported in LLM APIs and often becomes apparent to developers only when they face limitations in practice.
@maxwellbrown acknowledged the point and suggested that @sukazavr open a corresponding GitHub issue to track this concern.
Key takeaways:
- Empty input and output support is essential for real developer experiences.
- The Effect AI package should include built-in solutions for these scenarios to improve developer experience.
- Current limitations of LLM APIs don't support these cases, making it a hidden challenge for developers.
- There is a prompt to document and track this issue through a GitHub entry.
