One day, I hope we look at this period in history and marvel at the fact that our knowledge of current affairs was largely left to chance (or worse yet, algorithms that are designed not to inform but to sell) -- whatever happens to catch ou

E.g. "Agents can now see their up-to-date balance on the app (previously they had to wait for the weekly email). Here's a screenshot. Here's a direct link to the QA environment so you can try it out yourself." That'

They're brief emails with a few lines and screenshots that can be read in under 2 minutes. Most stakeholders will read through emails from teams developing features for their business area, and skim the rest. They can also opt out enti

In the last engineering team I managed (by far the most successful one up to date), we discarded most velocity measures in favour of a simple solution: every Friday, each team sends a brief "here's what we delivered this week&quot

This is probably the best positive application of LLMs I've heard. It will be like putting Jarvis inside Ultron's body and unleashing it into the world as Vision.

Wholeheartedly agree. Even if someone is unkind to you, you will find a bunch of experienced users coming to your defense. Long ago, I said something out of topic/speculative on a comment and got downvoted. Then someone with 5-digit ka

I've been eyeing ts-node because I'm sick of all the compilation like ceremonies i need to go through for a supposedly JIT compiled language, i.e. JS. How stable is it for production use?

Implications for generative AI aside, 14 years + single renewal for all copyrighted work seems very reasonable. The world moves at such a fast pace today that 14 years is a long time in which to monetize intellectual property. And in the wo
