They also had unusually high temperatures in April in my native Russian town. In 2022, there was snow in April. In 2023, temperature reached 17C. On May 1, it was 28C. It then suddenly cooled down, too.

OK, some context: it's a homegrown CRM used by sales, analytics and marketing departments + additional infrastructure services. We have a dedicated JIRA service desk just for it, with at least 1 dev always on call (because it's v

It's an internal tool, so if we delete something actually used by accident, they will let us know via the support desk or by visiting our office :) Sure it's dangerous but the code will still be there in git history, so it can be

The codebase of an internal system our team inherited is pretty old (14 years) and large, and there's a feeling a lot of the stuff is unused (dead code or unused ancient features) and can be deleted. Fortunately, it's a monolith a

In the legacy project our team inherited, there's a lot of data consistency issues stemming from the lack of foreign keys (we're adding them back now). Data consistency is important because we deal with financial data. Typically,

"Write good code and you won't have bugs" :) I think it's good practice to enforce consistency rules both in the DB and in code. If you make a mistake in your code, the DB won't allow it, and vice versa.

What if LLM hallucinates some destructive operation, such as deleting local files, and runs it? I think the project should automatically run everything in a container, just in case.

OpenAI API has a larger surface area than just completions. You can retrieve files uploaded through it, you can generate images, you can use the embedding API, you can use a different, more expensive model (GPT4) - and make as many calls as

There's a lot of sites leaking OpenAI keys on the frontend as well, including some projects posted here on HN. I contacted one such dev back in February, they said they would fix it ASAP, and it's still not fixed.

There are several reliability issues: 1) a single panic/exception/segfault in the executable brings down the whole website and so it will be unavailable until the executable restarts 2) entropy *always* increases (RAM usage
