> Without being glib, I honestly wonder if Fabrice Bellard has started using any LLM coding tools

I doubt it. I follow him and look at the code he writes and it's well thought out and organized. It's the exact opposite of AI slop I see everywhere.

> He codes mostly in C, which I'm sure is mostly "memorized". i.e. if you have been programming in C for a few decades,

C I think he memorized a long time ago. It's more like he keeps the whole structure and setup of the program (the context) in his head and is able to "see it" all and operate on it. He is so good that people are insinuating he is actually "multiple people" or he uses an LLM and so on. I imagine he is quite amused reading those comments.
