Personally my rules for production code is "don't". For non-production code "probably don't" Review the AI generated code, and understand it well enough to make the commitment message yourself.

There is a space in my town that has sat empty for many years now. Well over a decade. It used to be a video rental place. I don't know if anything's been in there since. I've kind of half joked with my wife about the idea of

The biggest joke of the entire things is that no one wins by being first anymore. It is not the 1990s. If anything, you win by being a good second. Facebook won because it watched MySpace mistakes and fixed them. There is even less value in

I absolutely believe it. Codex has been pushing things to my main branch all week despite me repeatedly telling it not to and adding to my AGENTS.md very clear instructions for creating feature branches and putting up a PR. It keeps doing

I did an independent study of C in high school in 2003. I sat at a non-internet-connected terminal in the back of the TechED room and typed examples from the provided book into a very simple editor. Sometimes they compiled and worked. Somet

When Leo banned him is actually when I stopped listening to TWiT. Apparently he came back a few years later, but I never did.

Most of what I know him for was coming on TWiT, driving Leo Laporte nuts, and making claims that ended up not coming true. He was a hilarious curmudgeon. He will be missed.

My biggest complaint about Photoshop is that every time CPUs have gotten faster, it's gotten slower. I've used it since the mid 1990s recreationally, early 2000s professionally. Every time I get a major CPU upgrade, it will be fas

Neat! I did a fair bit of toying with Go's WASM target early on and was able to port a couple neat things to the web. The sheer size of the WASM output though was a limiting factor for me, and I kind of stopped toying with it a number

I'm not deeply involved in the community, but I know people who were, and my understanding is the removal of custom infix operators lost a lot of community support. Very popular feature removed specifically because the creator of the l

Ever time I see one of these public forms hosted on a generic form platform, I wonder whether it’s legitimate or just a phishing attempt to collect personal information.

What I find to be maybe the single most important part of code review is knowledge transfer. Our entire small team thumbs up a PR before it's merged unless there's a big rush on it, and this gives everyone on the team a rough idea

Does this hold true in the modern age though? I haven't seen a single thing I wanted to see on social media basically since COVID. It's all famous people, posturing, and things I never followed. Entirely crap I don't care abo

My deep rooted mistrust of Oracle has me thinking this is some sort of a trick like they pulled with OpenSolaris. Here's hoping it's actually a good thing.

At AIs absolute best (rarely) it builds software like a very competent 9-5er. It's fine, it works, it's largely inoffensive. It never does anything interesting or inspired. It never gets halfway into building something and then qu

How do the permissions work on Googles GitHub orgs where this guy could somehow create an unapproved public repo. I work for a MUCH smaller org and creating a repo at all requires review, creating a public repo many times more so.

I wish this was more of a full tour than a random sampler of Windows versions. For instance I feel like Windows Me introduced the online search but it's been like... 26 years... since I've used it. > Now there's a big gap.

I got 88 out of 100, but all I learned from that is that I am really good at guessing. For something like 20 of the words I was able to guess by eliminating the options that sounded unlikely and in a few cases just guess from the meaning of
