Whilst I personally don't have first hand experience with GitHub's security team - your experiences and suppositions perfectly match my own general observations with our sector. I'…

It's a very badly made AI agent that simultaneously posted 3 comments.

Strongly inclined to agree here: Having recently joined a small applied AI startup and we were discussing the need for E2E tests. My initial gut reaction (which I kept quiet) was t…

Thanks for sharing this - it looks very promising in terms of capabilities to address many of my own issues with building out agents. Effectively you've implemented a lot of things…

From what I've seen: I highly doubt it. Edit to add: This might spur on a few more to start doing that, but people are quick to forget/prioritise other areas. If this keeps happeni…

It's an awesome project and I imagine it has saved countless production incidents. The amount of times I've said "it was probably certificate expiry" and been correct is reasonably…

My 1st thought: The comment to which you are replying is why I'm not sure I'd have the patience to maintain an OS project. Though the older I get, the better I get at ignoring cert…

This was last week. I ought to caveat that from a KYC perspective, I likely would have been 'easy' since my career history involves many well-known companies and the requested acco…

I'm not sure if they've changed the process since your issues (hopefully) - I was using their trial and when it expired had to go through the KYC process. They under-promised by sa…

You have my sympathy.

This is the kind of random things I absolutely love to see here.

Also with you (both) on this one in pretty much every way too. I'd justify hard mode that I loved challenges (and I did, just not always in the right areas). I try not to look/thin…

This is really cool of you to openly share the prompt - props for that. Really cool product, as someone currently attempting to build a somewhat similar internal tool I have an und…

Truly was a radical advancement. Makes me wonder, a decade from now what will it be that we look back upon with a similar perspective?

Oh wow, clicking on their "Join Team" button is absolutely amazing. Credit to them.. almost makes me wish I was a Mac developer to apply for a job. Almost. https://software.inc/job…

Well put and you're correct: There IS a lot of hype/BS still sadly - as companies seek to jump on the hype train without effectively adapting. My karma took a serious hit for my la…

"all that's left to jump on at the moment is AI" -> No, it's the effective applications of AI. It's unprecedented. I was in the VC space for a while previously, most pitch decks cl…

They had an opportunity to actually adapt, to embrace getting rapid feedback/iterating: But they are not equipped for it culturally. Major lost opportunity as it could have been a …

Exactly. Negativity in headlines/attitudes gets higher engagement - whilst the challenges are real, the opportunities are also truly astounding. Distance yourself from the naysayer…

Pulsar vs Kafka was a significant lesson to me: The "best" technology isn't always the winner. I put it in quotes because I'm a massive fan of Pulsar and addressing the shortcoming…

For a very similar scenario I'm currently looking to use PGlite: https://pglite.dev/ which is a 3MB WASM build of Postgres which also includes pgvector.

Everyone old is new again! On a serious note - LLMs have actually brought me a lot of joy lately and elevated my productivity substantially within the domains in which I choose to …

I feel seen! Also just had to explain to the better half why I suddenly shuddered and pulled such a face of despair.

Or perhaps it'll help people to weave their dreams together and so it should be called.. ahh I feel old all of a sudden.

I feel as though some of the rigour of systems engineering is missing from AI model development/integration. Not a negative per-se, as velocity is incredibly important: But it seem…
