If you have people on your team deleting valid tests because of "philosophy", I think you have much bigger problems to solve than anything Kent Beck can help with.

Prompts don't matter when you've heavily trained the model for verbosity (because that's what gets you the best benchmark scores).

Didn't read because paywall, but why is everything always about gerational preference shifts? Why can't it be the much simpler explanation: movies have sucked, so no one went to see them? Recently good movies came out, so ... mor

I had all pass/fail classes my entire college career ... with the caveat that I also got narrative evaluations. For a computer science class those might be like six lines (Homework: 85%, First test: 78%, etc.). For more Liberal Art

The usual right-wing slander. Look nutjobs, public health officials (or at least the honest, non-Trump-appointed kind) take great pains to only advocate what they can support. But there is a lot in between "we have zero evidence&quo

You have a distorted definition of UBI. The B stands for "basic", as in "not dying in the street of starvation" and a "a roof over your head". It is NOT about enabling "a modest life" or stopping peo

Kind of interesting article, but it misses the most obvious answer: pot. Cigarettes (and tobacco) have never been less popular in America, and the article (barely) acknowledged that. It completely failed to mention that, at the same time,

Both Amazon and Google's "hockey pucks" (speakers) are like $50, and both come with a lifetime of free AI ... although the Google one sucks and almost requires a Gemini subscription (and, sadly, speaking as someone who has be

It seems like if latency is having such a big effect that it's changing the winners, maybe your tests are awful and shouldn't be so latency dependent? I mean, I get it: how fast a model responds is relevant. But a test that chang

The cursing thing blows my mind. "User is upset? Let's make decisions even faster (ie. more wrong) because clearly that's what they want!" It's a simple switch to make: cursing = try harder instead of cursing = sto

What amazes me is how, for a vibe coded product where all they have to do is use their AI to fix things ... NOTHING EVER GETS FIXED! I've probably gone to file 20 bugs. In all 20 cases there wasn't just one issue already filed fo

There are plenty of things the Trump admin has done where that applies. This is (likely) not one of them. This idiocy hasn't had its day in court yet, but (especially given how the courts have turned against the administration in most

Dude is not wrong ... but good luck convincing the Internet to switch to a sane system, when everyone already thinks web hooks are a "solved problem".

Here's what a lot of people don't understand: inflation is only bad if you have assets . The richer you are, the more assets you have, and the worse inflation is for you, because it means all those assets are now worth less than

Le Guin is a master of fiction, period. While she's very different from modern sci-fi/fantasy, her work is almost as foundational as Tolkien, Lewis, or Asimov. Take her Earthsea series (which was very loosely adapted as a Studio

Right, I'm not saying "there are no differences between GitLab and GitHub". They have all the same core functionality, but obviously GitHub has a unique community with more OSS folks. What I'm saying is, you could pick

To be a little less flippant, small companies don't have an IT department to setup and maintain a git server ... and more. GitHib is also an issue tracker. It's also a (minimal) static webhost. And it's also a way to run a

This guy is defining himself into a corner: >GitLab is capable, but it feels incredibly corporate, even more so than GitHub.3 Nor have I found it as good as GitHub at helping people stumble across projects and developers. So it's no

To be clear, the guy who wrote this article is Martin Fowler. Fowler was the author of a book literally titled "Refactoring", which he wrote over 20 years ago (it didn't invent the term "refactoring", but it's

Both GitHub and GitLab have recently released new stacked MR tech: I guess everyone is submitting giant AI-authored PRs these days, and there's a real need to break them up into human-reviewable chunks. Both are an improvement (GH&#x27
