I’ve heard the term “on the bench”, which means you have no project to work on and you are lined up for firing if the situation doesn’t change soon enough. I thought at first it wa…

In my experience, a skill is better suited for this instead of an MCP. If you don’t want the agent to probe the CLI when it needs it, a skill can describe the commands, arguments a…

For Jira/Confluence, I also struggled with their MCPs. JIRA’s MCPs was hit or miss and Confluence never worked for me. We don’t use the cloud versions, so not sure if they work bet…

What would be the goal of all this? Just for the fun of it?

This is interesting. I wrote a “memory indexer” with the idea to provide a tool (cli) for my agent to “remember” past conversations we had in other session. A little bit in the spi…

I had no idea about any of this. I’ll talk with my neighbors and see if there’s anything we could do

Water used to be managed by a local cool here where I live. I had been for decades. A few months ago i got an email saying that PE had acquired it. I was paying between ~$25/month …

Maybe folks where still confused by memories of the Australian breakdancer from last summer olympics (?)

I got a pair of Santoni’s leahther sneakers in 2017, for about $500. I still have them and while they worn out a bit, they are still nice. The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owne…

This is in my mind the hardest part as well. I can solve the cube with the regular “easy” 3-layer approach, but I’d like to solve it faster. The issue is that the techniques for fa…

Where are you located at?

Maybe this may help. What if we are not talking internal development teams but something different, like a commercial/public API? In those cases you cannot affort or expect to have…

I’ve been hiring interns and managing internships for the past 10+ years. The number of interns at any given time varies from 1 to 10+ We were a small team at some point (less than…

Back in the day when I started coding in Go, I basically did the Go Tour on the official website, and watched some of videos. I paid close attention to learning how to write idioma…

A few years ago we started using HackerRank and created a test with 4 or 5 coding questions for candidates to do on their own. They could pick the programming language from about 1…

That’s understandable, but why then they seem to operate under the same premises still? We are in the post COVID years now and more and more organizations are using it today. Is it…

Maybe that’s a cultural difference as well (?) I’m a non-american living in Austin, TX and what folks call hills here is different from what we call hills back home…

If this was the case, wouldn’t had been better to axe these features once they were ready to roll out the new LLM-based functionality?

I wouldn’t call my self an expert in React or frontend for that matter. Earlier this year, I was helping someone create an MVC for a startup idea and I stumble upon NextJS (v13 at …

One strategy I use is to focus on negative reviews. Read as many and see what things they are complaining about. Something you can see patterns of petty complains, and other times …

I somehow have never seen this. Will try it out, thanks

I have tried twice in the past 5 years or so to convert different projects (mostly Java) to Bazel but failed miserably every single time. I do not have notes handy so I don’t remem…

2048 comes to mind as an example of such finished software

Find and join a local sports club. There are plenty in my city for many different disciplines (football, volleyball, basketball, etc). It can be challenging no matter what level yo…
