I donate every year anyway. But this year I'm doing it twice to help Wikipedia fight these disgusting attacks.

Was scrum always a bad idea, or was it good back in its day and it became outdated as we found better ways? I feel the latter might be more likely.

In software development, repetition can be a signpost to a better design or a better process. Teams who say "Oh, we'll just get the intern to do that" (or, the 2024 version, "We'll just get Copilot to do that") often end up baking in the repetition, creating serious downstream headaches.

Is Reddit on a 31 month regime now???? Who's going to come up with names for all 31 months? Are they all going to be named after Julius Caesar? I have so many questions!

This looks pretty cool. Unfortunately the price is completely crazy, and also with my talent for putting these kinds of models together, and for painting the end result would probably look like something the cat regurgitated. youtu.be/bDxOi75eFGI?...

Semantic Diffusion is the bane of a software engineer's existence. Can you think of any concept that hasn't lost its meaning as soon as it spread a bit?

Got my first smart watch since my Pebble Time Steel maybe a decade ago, looking forward to seeing how much things have changed since then.

“Don’t Repeat Yourself” is advice that only makes sense when developers are talking about semantics. Even if two passages of code are identical, unless a change to one should always change the other nothing has been repeated.

I have to temper everything I read about the EU "lagging behind" in "A.I. research" with the increasingly evident fact that *everybody* is lagging behind in A.I. research. What the EU's lagging behind in is drinking the Kool Aid.

I don't just like this, I love this. For ages I've been trying to tell people. You're just replacing your interpreter by a non deterministic interpreter and using a less formal language to describe what you want, thus increasing the time and explanation efforts, and increasing the risk as well.

Acceptance test coverage shouldn't be about happy or unhappy paths. They should be about what's important for the business. Happy paths tend to be important. Unhappy paths can sometimes be important and sometimes they may not.

According to some news article "chatGPT beats doctors" at illness diagnosis. I'm not sure I'm willing to accept medical advice from a software that can't even count the letters in a word...

Everyone's excited about bluesky's promises of not changing its principles, but I say, let's take it with a pinch of salt. I was around back when Google's moto was "don't be evil", and when they promised infinite storage space on Gmail. And yet, here we are today where none of those things are true.
