For THEN — ELSE I would also add IF split between the backhands.

GOTO — HARM

The problem is when abusing terms sells and it ends up being a race to the bottom.

Duolingo is down. Coursera is down. What am I supposed to do? Read a book? Where are my fake Internet points?

Half the internet seems to be down thanks to the us-aws-east-1 outage

Perplexity, Amazon .com, Signal all down (just 3 services I tried to use)

When aws-us-east-1 sneezes, the whole world feels it indeed

Old man yells at slop.

It‘s almost as if writing more code faster was never the bottleneck… 🤔

We got a lot better at marketing, 40 years ago we would have called it LLM++. 😃

Reminds me on how much care needs to go into making sure that communication channels are such that neither the sender nor the receiver have to carry the bulk of the effort so that the message is understood.

Sorry for making this way too generic than it needs to, but it just got me thinking.

OH: "This organization is 70% bureaucracy, 30% politics, and 10% data made up to make a point."

It's a very small step away from literally herding cats. 😀

IIRC it’s AI, then Z, then Super, with the akward non-canon GT happening between Z and Super.

The new #Develocity #IntelliJ plugin's Live Build Timeline helps you find issues like a faulty input file configuration causing redundant test tasks to run every time.

This fix took the build from 18s to just 1s!

If Brian’s not there the question becomes “Valhalla, where?”

I found this blog post to verbalize perfectly thoughts I had over the years on engineering preferences and the importance of your environment. mmapped.blog/posts/38-sta...

When you choose a language, you’re also choosing a community and their views and goals. I love how much the Zig community cares about fast builds and tight feedback loops.

My favorite thing about LLMs is that when it tries to fast-talk its way through an issue and I ask for facts, figures, and proof, I know I won’t have to manage an ego on the other side.

In other news, if I disappear right after the singularity, you know what happened.

Someone just upped their Scrabble-fu. 😂

Is this a tariff on talent?

Our greatest escape room yet!

I think the prediction wasn’t that far off. If you only consider what electricity automated it probably exceeded it. What we are really bad at imagining are the new opportunities people can take on once some task becomes automated.

TIL about Programmer’s Day, which I find hilarious, especially because there’s a special case to consider, as any programmer that ever went close to touching date representations knows. 😂

3-0 blitz is probably even more time-constrained than 2-1 bullet -- I won plenty of """games""" #manyairquotes by simplifying a winning game and relying on increments when decisions became easier, which is a strategy I'm not really sure you can apply without increments.

I got into bullet and realized it was a _terrible_ idea later. Had to uninstall the app from my phone.

That’s a step up from reading German shampoo labels. 💫

I’m not too surprised. Despite being fluent in English and Italian I always found that having to somehow use both at the same time (e.g. acting as an intepreter) to be its own separate skill.

I find the concept of simulation testing feeding into observability tooling _extremely_ interesting. youtu.be/eZ1mmqlq-mY?...

The penetration is still impressive from a GTM perspective, but either the estimate you shared is off by an order of magnitude, or the numbers shared by GitHub need some understanding before drawing conclusions.

100 million developers and counting There are now 100 million developers around the world using GitHub. Here’s what this means—and why it’s just the beginning.

GitHub reported to have crossed 100M users a couple of years ago (github.blog/news-insight...) and apparently it was announced at Build earlier this year they crossed the 150M (www.linkedin.com/pulse/github...).

I’m surprised. I moved here because all I got on X was politics and most (all?) the people in tech whom I cared following moved here, mostly talking about tech.
