I'm not that familiar with OpenBSD but my impression was that the team is extremely security conscious. To the point that "there is insecure software in there already" is not an excuse. Perhaps I'm wrong about that?

The other big difference is that you can spin up an LLM instantly. You can scale up your use of LLMs far more quickly and conveniently than you can hire junior devs. What used to be an occasional annoyance risks becoming a widespread rot.

Management has two basic ways to respond to a strike. They can negotiate with the workers and work cooperatively to build an environment that benefits everyone. Or they can act adversarially to outlast or outsmart the strikers and coerce th

Yeah, I don't think "seeing how estimates change over time" is very valuable. The reason that "planning is everything" is that it makes a problem tractable.

This may not be the strong argument you think it is. There are plenty of highly productive senior developers who either don't use IDEs or SO or use them very minimally. Even version control, if they're working alone. Smart devs wi

A more even-handed interpretation might be that strikes are generally called for good reason.

Reminds me of that story about the casting of Patrick Stewart as Picard. Apparently Roddenberry originally had in mind a youthful, virogous figure much like William Shatner was for Kirk. So Stewart auditioned in a toupee to compensate for h

Well, it's hard to argue against your direct experience without any actual detail. But the paper has consistently been shown up as sensationalised and misleading when it comes to right-wing bugbears such as climate change, COVID, and i

Was that project fairly early-days? The current impression seems to be that AI is useful for accelerating the development of smaller and simpler projects, but slows things down in large complex codebases.

It's not an XY problem or anything to do with customer service. It's more of a UX problem. Users are being presented with highly convenient AI summaries that have a relatively high level of innaccuracy.

The fact that you personally would use a different tool is surely neither here nor there. It's like wading into a conversation about car problems and telling everyone that you ride a motorbike.

It's a great list. I believe Uber has improved on both of those items although could still do better (see e.g. [0]). The issue with the second list is that it takes a long time to encourage that sort of social progress. It's extre
