Donated - my heart goes out to you. Our 19 year old cat had a similar break recently, but his health was too poor (kidney disease and cancer) to undergo the amputation, so we had to euthanize. I would have spent any amount of money to do it if we could have, I really hope you can raise enough đź’ś

Because it’s harder to catch defects in code you didn’t write, the only realistic way of ensuring that you really do “go faster” is to let more defects through, unintentionally or no.
So, effectively “LLMs for coding” are largely a cover story for improving throughput by relaxing quality standards

I personally was very upset that no one else seemed to talk about how hard and bad pregnancy/childbirth/newborns can be, so I like, try to be honest & real. Obviously I did it twice, so the good outweighed the bad, but it is not all sunshine and rainbows!!

I also hated it! I threw up all day every day for the first 3.5 months for both kids. The second trimester gets a little better, but yeah, it sucks. Nursing a newborn sucks even more, so get ready for it to be hard for a long time.

I agree that there are some managers not doing their jobs well, but I don’t think that means all managers or all layers of managers-of-managers are bad. IME bad managers don’t have clear roles & responsibilities, which is cultural, and not inherent to the job or the person.

How much you want to bet they absolve themselves of any liability when businesses that use this tool get sued?

Right click the parent element and select “break on subtree modifications” (?? Or something like that, I’m on my phone and can’t check?) and it should pause the debugger on the script that is inserting the children

Yeah it’s been obviously evil from the start. Anyone who is upset now either willfully ignored the evil they did or didn’t care until it impacted them.

I successfully used this article to convince a backend team at work that they needed to set massively lower performance SLOs for their systems. The timing chart in particular was great - we used it to set front end goals too!
