Not sure jail is the outcome you need to be worrying about.

Yeah, I've had several occasions recently (seemingly not related to any incidents on the status page) where I've had to wait 20 minutes to an hour to be able to open a PR, because Github didn't recognize my branch had any new

"They will hire 1 software architect in US to write specs and 10 software developers in India" is exactly what everyone said was going to happen in 2004 as software engineering outsourcing really started to gain traction. Malcolm

I was a big fan of go for a while. Though now that I have programmed more swift and rust recently, having a compiler that doesn’t protect against null pointer deferences or provide concurrency safety guarantees feels a little prehistoric.

In my industry they still ask for the questionnaire even if you have a SOC2 report!

Yeah, why would we pay top dollar for top talent and then hold that talent to high standards? That certainly doesn’t work in any other profession.

Not being able to use Claude Code in zed without paying extra is a pretty big loss. Also the fact that they are applying this to the GitHub action they built, promoted, and directly integrated into claude code is pretty frustrating.

Yeah, I talk to someone on google meet who will seamlessly transition between talking to me and talking to Claude while on the call, and it is extremely annoying.

I dunno, it seems like the fact that we arrived at a fairly standard structure for URL paths that works pretty well is not a bad outcome. Seems a lot better than the other potential world we could lived in, where paths were a black box and

As far as this website reports, I'm undistinguishable from most other Mac users in Brooklyn, New York. Seems like it's not actually highlighting the frightening aspects of fingerprint.

The article seems to suggest the unexpected spend was primarily on coding tools, like Claude Code. One would hope Uber could manage 1 sentence API summaries (regardless of their quality) for less than $3.4 billion.

Irrelevant side note: If you looked at https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/ and thought, wow this webpage must 25 years old, you would be incorrect! In 2000, they had a very 1990s website with the option for a flash version and non-f

Agreed -- except that all of their docs and marketing pitches it for use cases like "per-user, per-tenant or per-entity databases" -- which would be SO great. But in practice, it's basically impossible to use that way in conj

Constantly rewriting git history with squashes, rebases, manual changes, and force pushes has always seemed like leaving a loaded gun pointed at your foot to me. Especially since you get all of the same advantages with plain old stream on c

Yeah — I just created an anthropic API key to experiment with pi, and managed to spend $1 in about 30 minutes doing some basic work with Sonnet. Extrapolating that out, the subscription pricing is HEAVILY subsidized. For similar work in Cla

Yeah, Typescript feels like it had has arrived at the point where someone needs to write “Typescript: the good parts” and explains all of the parts of the language you probably shouldn’t be using.

This is sort of funny. Given how common it is to spot bots on Reddit now, it seems like they are likely to completely overwhelm the site and drive away most of actual humans. At which point the bots, with all of their karma will be basicall

I think the fact that AI can make a working compiler is crazy, especially compared to what most of us thought was possible in this space 4 years ago. Lately, there have been a few examples of AI tackling what have traditionally been thought

It basically shows clients that you are not doing wildly incompetent things with their data, or if you are, they can more easily sue you, since you probably lied to your auditor about it. But it’s ultimately not up to you if you do it or no
