   I was probably there when they invented that term, LOL (I first heard it in the Ruby startup space years ago, I think). I still think it's meaningful, along with "design smell". Why? Because it speaks to coding as craft, not

   I've sadly had to back out of using jj after leaning into LLM coding assistance, as, even with an extremely well-written jj guide in its context (and literally blocking the use of git ), it never failed to screw things up more than if

   There's quite a difference in my experience between "using coding AI tools" and "using coding AI tools _well_", especially when it comes to editing code.

   It is almost exactly like the controls from the auditing world, except as applied to AI's instead of people. In fact, having worked at Deloitte in the past is what led me to make the connection immediately

   Or just make it so that the commit hook can't be edited or bypassed by Claude?

   this only checks whether the code is in compliance with CLAUDE.md though

   What's funny to me is that it doesn't bother me; it just seems like its personality.

    I now have a business idea: Curated Open-Source App Forks. Would you pay to have access to a service which tweaked the open-source software you use just enough to make it much more useful to your workflow, and automatically updated it over

    You need to make the rule concrete somehow. I call it a "control". So for example, instead of instructing it "always run tests before committing", you (or you have it) make a git commit hook that always runs the tests fi

    Out of employable curiosity, is there anything that pharma might need help with in terms of coding, pattern-matching, AI assistance, reproducibility, determinism, software controls, ETL, reliable workflow design, or simple IT advice?

    Finally, something that makes the current state of software development look GOOD!

    What are you asking that you are NOT regularly running into censorship? Pretty much everyone I know who uses Claude and works on anything with any level of detail has gotten false-positive flagged I got flagged for coding in WebAssembly Tex

    I am absolutely plotting the route and intervening when the car tries to do something stupid. That ends up working out a lot better than actually driving the car because you can focus on the goals, the car often knows better routes that you

    Same. In fact I think going to Zig, possibly on the way to Rust, would have been a far more pragmatic route. But I guess my opinion is null and void since I "slop-code"

    I guess that since you haven't built the car you're driving, your opinions on it are null and void as well. Anyone who actually believes that I can't have ANY sound opinion on Zig after 31 projects building with it should get

    Anyone actually using it knows it is better. The C interop is so good that there is no use-case where C is the better option IMHO

    there’s a simple answer to all of these things that will cause the market to take care of it: simply increase the Linux gaming market size and given how shitty Microsoft is treating everything lately, it won’t even be hard

    And what has happened in the past any time there was job displacement? Should we have continued to employ the manual knitters after looms came out?

    Gaming’s home deserves to be on Linux. I know GabeN agrees with me, and he’s worked hard to make it happen.

    i’m thinking it’s an intentional turn of phrase so for example in native English, if someone upset some people, you might say, just to be creatively different: “oh boy. people be big mad” it is an idiom, not necessarily officially part of t

    The limit of these things being at least partially due to the users’ imagination explains at least some of the terrible criticisms I see out there which do not stand up to scrutiny. Perfect example just now in the wild: https://x

    Impressive and surprisingly performant, but what's the use-case? If anything, this is an ad for WASM!
