This is my experience too, I've worked on code bases which made heavy use of attributes, and they work really well to provide static per-type information, but if you see them as a universal problem solver and try to go too fancy, you&#

It frustrates me too, it really feels like the next breakthrough will be when someone gets agents working "natively" with LSP on large code-bases. Anthropic added LSP support to claude-code, but the current implementation is worse

That logic has a glaring flaw, that while tulips might be in short supply, the price is driven by everyone else doing that too, so there'll be a glut of new blubs in the future, so the future price shouldn't be assumed to be the c

This frustrates me too, if something is "opt-in", that means by default you're not included and can choose to be included. If something is "opt-out", that means you're included and can choose not to be. But the

Flying no matter how diminutive always has the issue of Newton's third law. This requires having large empty landing zones to be safe, or you risk having people land on you, which would hurt no matter how slowly they're coming in.

I think that Slack's memory usage is "not bad" at ~300MB just because Discord exists, and somehow that seems to get into the gigabytes before even looking at a message.

I thought "a creative" was the person who designs adverts, but I guess it's acting as a good filter, to filter out people like me, because I'm clearly not the target audience for this.

That is true, although I note that was also true of COVID 19 between January and mid-March 2020, which was also classified as a PHEIC, right up until it wasn't. That doesn't mean that this one will become a pandemic, but it also d
