Lots of junior devs in “far off lands” insulated from social interaction and influenced by the flavor of the day because they don’t have experience building things or working with people.

Just maintaining their local plumber and church websites for clients that hate them.

Ha. I just have very similar experience of people I have known - crust punks, ar-15 kind of racist conservatives, weed farmers, crystal healers and off the land folk all converging together to have horrible, horrible converging opinions.

Hmm, I haven’t…. That’s a good idea though. I’ll see what I can setup. We use cloudflare zerotrust so I’ll see what is possible.

I imagine this is an issue for lots of people behind private network APIs not connected to the internet (sometimes behind AWS SSO sessions too)

But none of this works if you need to access things over a VPN or through tunnels… I can’t get web versions to make the requests to internal dev URLs secured through short lived VPN connections. I never fully yolo anyways but get close, letting it modify vault secrets even. Too cumbersome!

It won’t be an alpha/beta feature after Wednesday.

Yep! It’s the return of the PMs and well defined tickets :)

You learn the language over time. Simple, well directed instructions with specific directions where to start an learn from help a lot.

It will change code. We’ll end up with a lot of markdown for LLMs colocated with files.

You know who hates AI coding? Influencers who make videos teaching coding tricks.

Videos that are long, hard to navigate, and made to sell ads or controversy.

The video might be useful but the lesson could have been a git gist.

AI just does that part for you and you learn it in a few minutes.

Let me guess, his family history in Argentina goes back to about 1945…

I’m around 60. It only works well with tests… it is better at writing unit than E2E or integration tests but that makes sense.

I do wonder why affect it will have on languages things are written in. Which are better for AI? Typing seems essential, and popularity of the language is important.

I love that Claude code is horrible at Helm charts and K8s. Just horribly complex design decisions that our LLM buddies make a mess of too.

For us, we have a React Context provider that includes "use" and "useOptimistic." fireEvent and act sometimes caused render errors, though they may be fixed now. We had to use a lot of tricks in react-testing-library to get React not to complain or tests to fail, see my response to @kentcdodds.com.

An image showing how an async "act" is needed to avoid errors with React 19 "use" and "useOptimistic" in react-testing-library

Yep, that's how we use it, and found it more reliable. We were getting React render errors otherwise.

Here's a fun one: We also have to wrap the render in an async act() too - "useOptimistic" and "use" in the provider.

Take out that pesky await (that ESLint doesn't like) and it all breaks.

I found that the userEvent wrapper really helps with testing anything with transitions.

Maybe… all the crap we write and do in things like performance reviews, emails, introductions to PRDs, marketing copy, etc. don’t matter at all. We can get the work done without all of that and institutions, training, people and efforts that go into it.

Today my 2 year old looked at me and said “agape”. I don’t know what she meant at first but I realized she’d found my prized Greek dictionary and had had learned the many words for love.

I corrected her poor grammar of course but appreciated the effort.

Me, arriving in Heaven: Truly I am filled with the joy of the angels!

God: Actually you just feel normal. Yeah you had a stomachache for seventy years.

Umm, nazis? They were like the buffoon version of Germans.

It’s just matrix multiplication

Sounds like the perfect combination of flavors…

In response to the tragically devastating floods in Texas yesterday & today, I've seen questions asking how is it possible that the NWS was able to predict floods from Helene days in advance, but yesterday's storms did not have nearly as much of a lead time.

Short answer - very different phenomena:

I found cursor started paying attention more recently when they changed file patterns, before that… maybe.

As others have said, shouting helps.

Max.

When the brain and autonomic system are messed up (long covid, migraines, concussions, etc ) the body and mind do weird things!

Phantom smells were always a sign I was getting a migraine when I was young. Things smelled “bad”

I remember the first time I looked at my wife and Mom and said “I need help” and it was scary. But, it taught me a lot about life.

Still fucking sucks.

We sound similar! CrossFit, cycling, running, everything. I did CrossFit for 12 years. Had to stop because of my back and because, I’m old.

I would go on business trips, stay out late, and get up and do CrossFit at 6 am. Maybe even run to and from CrossFit.

I miss it but yeah, life is, life.
