'Keeping up with regulations' may as well be a separate field from the core stuff. It has the same pressures as any other development effort. Managers will want the integration to the KYC service LLM'd as quickly as possibl

I dunno what version of the site you saw, but it probably hasn't changed in the last 17 minutes since your post. There's only one rule: generative AI cannot be used in the creation of the project.

This is correct, but databases only help to the extent that the whole world is happy to live in your database. As soon as you have customers (who interact via REST), or partner payment systems (e.g. stripe) you're back to: Two cust

No, they are function colouring. That's the point. Someone writes a post lamenting red and blue functions, and everyone eats it up. Substitute colour for something meaningful and the idea becomes idiotic. "Top level function de

Yep. But we all know that one machine can and will fail (or be patched and restarted), so the log needs to be distributed. Different workflows should probably go in different buckets or "topics" for clarity. Since it's dist

I will try harder to connect the dots more explicitly. Do you think an idea being 'self-centered' has any bearing on whether that idea is true or false? What are the typical atheist arguments from Dawkins, etc.? Why are they not a

I love that failure is an option. Despite all the pressure from money, the science still won out. In a parallel universe, it would be hard to imagine that much money not altering the reported results significantly.
