You're conflating shipping with release. Of course, many tasks take more than a day to do well. That doesn't mean you can't break it up into atomic parts and ship each part every day (behind a feature flag). I personally find

Honestly I'm not sure why ChatGPT has anything to do with this problem. I remember making the exact same mistake (accidentally using a single function call in a schema) back in 2010. No LLMs required. The bigger culprit is probably a l

Yeah it doesn't look like this is AST-aware at all. If you want to do queries that understand the grammar, https://github.com/getgrit/gritql is closer to what you're looking for. (Disclaimer: I'm the aut

I have the opposite impression from that demo. It doesn't sound like a neutral, boring voice. It sounds like an overly dramatic person pretending to be a robot.

If management has no visibility into the project progress, that seems like a pretty major problem. It absolutely shouldn't be "binary." Any year-long project should have tractable progress metrics. Upper management doesn&#x

I personally know a VP who was fired for buying "IBM Cloud." You can absolutely get flak for choosing IBM these days, even at a stodgy enterprise. The gist is still current, but you need to fill in AWS as the current uncontroversi

Unfortunately this only works for interns and new grads. Nobody experienced want to take a job on an experimental basis.

That's a pretty outdated phrase, even in enterprise.

I don't think the final buyers are scam artists. They're mercenary, but not deceiving anyone. The scam artists are definitely the people preying on entrepreneurs' dreams to sell a worthless accelerator membership.

Startups are incredibly hard. If Airchat "flopped" it still got way more usage than most bootstrapped startups ever see.

Yes, I use it pretty regularly when I encounter a regression. I generally mandate linear history for repos and squash all commits. I've frankly never understood people who don't.

Yes, exactly. When doing a search, we parse and search every file without any indexing. Of course, it could still be sped up considerably with an index but brute force is surprisingly effective (we use some of the same techniques/crate

I've been surprised at how far you can get without indexing. Ex. I always assume we'll need to add an index to speed up GritQL ( https://github.com/getgrit/gritql ), but we've gotten pretty far with doing
