It's best effort, and can make your life easier, but please treat it that way (best effort). For everything that matters, review and test even revision bumps.

First: You should never trust semver anyways, not where it matters. Second: even in semver, you can bump all the way you want, especially the major version. Just don't skip bumping when you break stuff.

Despite their name, i think TODOs should not be treated like tasks to complete, you should not let them make you feel bad. Instead, they are kind of a shorthand documentation of what's going on in an implementors mind, what extensions

Publicly self-admitted, in this case. Apart from that: if I inherit the code base of a bad programmer on my job, with a lot of technical debt, which part of it is a deliberate trade-off? It's still "time that must be paid back, wi

Next keyword: market of lemons. If you can't rely on said signals anymore, you must treat every item the same (untrusted), which drives out the legitimate players from the market. We have a lot of lemon markets, we can probably infer f

Imagine that these prompts are not triggered by humans anymore, but by the AI invoking itself. Sam Altman takes comfort in the thought that their AI does nothing without a human prompting it, so it has a human in the loop, as a circuit brea

Maybe someone can correct me, but my understanding is that you would calculate the embeddings of code chunks, and the embedding of the prompt, and take those chunks that are most similar to the embedding of the prompt as context. Edit: This

You have a very abrasive style of dialog, combined with an unwillingness to consider alternative POVs in your discussion, bordering on trolling. I like discussion, but I don't enjoy this. With that, I will disengage now.
