Thorsten Ball ships three working Jev demos, including a Neovim plugin that predicts your next jump target
Joy & Curiosity #100 on September 20 is built around Jev, which Ball describes as a "smart if-statement" for fast structured decisions. He built a shell autocomplete that predicts the next command, hunch.nvim which predicts which line you will jump to next, and a model-switching interface for the Amp Dial, and argues "sometimes a change in cost and performance is what creates a whole new category of technology," comparing it to cheap computers ending up inside lightbulbs. This is the first named engineer publishing working artifacts rather than launch commentary, and the demos point at the real pattern: Jev is interesting where an LLM call was previously too slow or expensive to sit in a hot loop.
