I believe I did address that when I said "this is not business as usual work".. So the typical expectations or norms of how code reviews and PRs work between humans don't really apply here. That's my guess at least. I

I think we're seeing machine generation of derivative visual materials. There's a difference, in my mind at least. "Art" is cultural activity and expression, there needs to be intent, creativity, imagination.. A printer

I've often given developers I mentor the advice they should "zig-zag" to grow their career and get varied experiences rather than stay in one place too long, but my advice was 2-3 years at each place at minimum. I think anyth

I saw Sneakers when it first came out in theatres and at the time I was in high school and working part-time in a shoe store.. I had learned from the store owner that you can tell so much from someone's shoes, often more than from thei
