  1. Why would you are about blank lines? Sounds like aborted attempts at a change to me. Then realizing you don’t need them. Seeing them in your PR, and figuring they don’t actually do anything to me.
  2. Damn, this is a good era to be in high school (or university) with a lot of free time. $4000 is a pretty good haul for a few hours of work poking at stuff.
  3. Uh, when my son asks me for the phone, I say no, and he asks me why, I just tell him it’s because I think being bored once in a while is healthy. As long as the rules around using it are consistent he can work with that (he’ll start running to get to the bus/train on time too, because he can only use a phone if he can sit down)
  4. Hmm, I’m fairly certain the ‘having children’ part is what triggers total collapse of the previous worldview. My spouse was adamant that we wouldn’t force our child to study excessively, but we’re at 7 years old and we have a 50cm stack of extra activities books that need to be worked through every morning and evening, in addition to the homework the school sets. It’s madness. The class teacher told me he’s not even involved with setting homework.

    I certainly wasn’t expected to do any homework at 7. It wasn’t until middle school we were expected to do some amount of homework.

  5. Hah, I’m now a hostile actor!
  6. Wasn’t there that npm malware thing a while ago that trashed your home folder if it couldn’t phone home?
  7. I think this person is too optimistic. Everything that will give powerful people money or influence and not get them killed is pretty much near inevitable.
  8. I think the problem is that this microservices vs monolith decision is a really hard one to convince people of. I made a passionate case for ECS instead of lambda for a long time, but only after the rest of the team and leadership see the problems the popular strategy generates do we get something approaching uptake (and the balance has already shifted to kubernetes instead, which is at least better)
  9. NextJS was just bog standard “we designed an insecure API and now everyone can do RCE” though.

    Everyone has been able to exploit that for ages. It only became a problem when it was discovered and publicised.

  10. We use pretty much the entire nodejs ecosystem, and only the very latest Next.js vulnerability was an all hands on deck vulnerability. That’s taken over the past 7 years.
  11. Once all the code for the services lived in one repo there was nothing preventing them from deploying the thing 140 times. I’m not sure why they act like that wasn’t an option.
  12. Because most recruitment pitches are the same regardless of the subject.
  13. Don’t think you are missing anything. I do this with the API, and it works great. I’m not sure why they don’t do it, but I can only guess it’s because it completely breaks the context caching. If you summarize the full buffer at least you know you are down to a few thousand tokens to cache again, instead of 100k tokens to cache again.
  14. This is exactly my experience with gemini, and exactly why I bounced on the stupid thing. I just don’t have hours to waste on Google’s stupid processes.
  15. I think as I gain more experience, what previously looked like magic now always turns out to look a whole lot more like hard work, and frustration with the existing solutions.
  16. The star history of this project is really funny.
  17. You wish, that gray beard sometimes appears in your late thirties.
  18. It might be cool, and even a bit useful, but the hard part is the bipedal part. Arms on tracks work just fine, but they’re not quite as cool.
  19. I wonder what happened to the dance floor. It appears at some point, and then apparently it disappears again too, because the youth stop coming.
  20. I find I get better tests if I use agents to generate tests.
