You’re looking at it all wrong, story points are a defensive tool for you the developer. It gives your team a made up unit that no one else understands. If you told someone on Monday that a ticket takes two days they’ll ask you on Thursday

Did the OP use the tool to write his own commit messages? A lot of the commit messages were typical and sort of redundant but this one stood out to me https://github.com/zurawiki/gptcommit/commit/82294555e7269

I would be very impressed if the 1Password CEO released his/her encrypted vault to the public. It would be a real vote of confidence for the encryption.

I've been following Carmack for 30 years, because of his brilliance and perspective on software. I never expected I would every feel emotionally touched by anything he said, but this was a very heartwarming story.

Why are the academic employees organizing under the UAW? Isn’t that for auto workers? Did they expand to embrace other workers?

I actually sat across the aisle from him on his way back from NYC -> SF this past week. He really didn't want to make eye contact with anyone.

As a rule, we Californias refuse to acknowledge that there are any non-democrats in the state, therefore they can’t move to Florida.

If ChatGPT can write JIRA tickets then I will accept the robot overlords. That is a burden worth more than my humanity.

Its always amazing to see Tim Sweeney's name attached to things. The first game I played of his was ZZT around ~1992. It was a basic but super cool game that featured a basic level editor!! The idea of creating levels for a game was st

This is super cool, but it seems pretty far from "mind reading". It's not reading what the person's brain is interpreting the image as, but rather what they're currently seeing. I wonder how different these signals

RIP My Robotics professor developed ROBOLAB with Lego + LabView. In return, Lego funded part of the robotics department. We had the most amazing Lego lab. Bins of every shape piece you could ask for. It was really a childhood dream come to

When I left Fitbit we were still using MySQL as the primary datastore for all tracker data. Admittedly only in the 10s of millions of users, but tracker data was stored at sub second precision and indefinitely. It was definitely up in the 1

Probably a dumb question (it’s a decade since my last materials class): why can’t you laser scinter during the printing and then heat treat in an oven to regain material properties?

Aren't indie games already dangerously close to the commodity space? Steam is overwhelming these days. There are dozens of games I can build bridges in or new interesting strategy games. How is any one developer supposed to capture eno

I think people in the web development space will continue to understand this concept. People who are curious will learn how the internals work. For everyone else, who cares? Search is so good that it doesn’t matter where a file lives on you

It’s mostly used by agriculture. A large portion of the food you’re eating come from CA. I think there are some major crops that need to be rethought, but a broad crop failure would be pretty devastating to a lot of people in the US

Is temperature really a big problem? It’s pretty easy to generate heat with electricity and I assume the near total lack of an atmosphere on the surface of the moon makes insulation straightforward.

You're relegated to the backend not because you know Java instead of Typecript, but because you don't understand the problems of frontend development. Thinking about how a user interacts with a page, how asynchronous data loads, d

Dolphin has been around since 2003. Don’t think it’s been the same devs, but there’s definitely more commitment here than just a college side project

Science is a relatively slow process, it takes a long time to understand how diseases work. Virtually every other disease has been studied for years or decades before a properly understanding how it spreads, how it grows within the body, ho
