If you pay attention to VSCode changelog for the past few months, you'll notice that most of it is about Copilot. It feels almost as if VSCode is not adding new features and is in maintenance mode for now. I have no idea if that's

I think this perspective explain the issue well: you pretty much cannot unit test this (unless you consider the whole function a unit). It becomes very unclear what each lambda expression is about, the deeper you get.

Great way to fool yourself. Sure you might get a surprise 50% bonus during a layoff. So you work even harder and put your heart in the company because you feel "grateful" for the appreciation -- the company apparently values you a

Listened to the whole show, and I am very disappointed that they don't put enough effort into stressing how much cryptocurrency facilitates all these. They talk about cryptocurrency as if it's just a way to transfer money, and it

Fun fact: Opera Mini was used as a way for Chinese users to get around GFW, until the loophole was closed by Opera, and all users redirected to a special Chinese version of the app.

Sounds like Claude is doing the right thing, at least for the general problem. You are just waiting for this to deteriorate, and at some point that 5min timeout is not long enough, and you'll have to come up with something else again.
