LLMs generate code incredibly fast, but to ensure they generate exactly what is intended, they need clear boundaries. Abstractions and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) provide a strong harness that guides LLMs right from the start. Unmesh Joshi describes how the example of Tickloom - a domain model and DSL for illustrating distributed system behavior - shows how we can use an LLM as a partner to iteratively build a DSL and as a natural language interface to us

In the first article, we got started with Jeffrey Microscope and learned to read a single flamegraph — the timeseries, search, tooltips, and the allocation and wall-clock variants. This time we build directly on that foundation and tackle one of Jeffrey's most powerful features for real-world performance work: the differential flamegraph, which compares two recordings and shows you precisely what changed between them. A single flamegraph tells you where your application spends its time. But the
