   Or rather, it's like when you have a huge backlog of bugs, you are going to de-prioritize the ones that are minor and have workarounds. For the city, they have got too much to worry about than a "optional" speed bump. Not sa

   Exactly. I am surprised this isn't talked more. The web stack is such an example. Almost everything you use -- chrome, webpack, electron, babel, React etc all adopted the permissive license. Not quite so for other areas, but I can coun

   I can pretty confidently say that every article I have seen in the past 5 years that complain about weirdness of JavaScript is about things that you would never do in a modern, production-level codebase. Many of these issues are about pre-E

    That prompt looks horrifying. I am not going to spend half an hour coming up with that prompt, tweaking it, and then spend many hours (on the optimistic side) to track down all the hallucinated code and hidden bugs. Have been there once, ne
