The tweet is criticizing over-reliance on the "agents will fix it anyway". The fact that we can fix things faster now doesn't mean that we should throw away caution and prevention.…

Matt Might's website has taught me so much over the years, going all the way back to ... I want to say 2008-2009? From programming languages to Unix-fu to a huge amount of topics i…

I don't understand the rush to be "the first". Facebook isn't the first social media, Google isn't the first search engine, iPhone is not the first smart phone, Microsoft is not th…

The way I experience this is through unprecedented amount of feature creep. We don't use AI generated code for all our projects, but in the ones we do, I see a weird anti-pattern s…

> Open Source is not the absolute social good we delude ourselves into thinking. Historically the term "Open Source" was specifically developed to divorce the movement from the "so…

I don't know if you're "wrong", but I do feel differently about this. I've written a ton of open source code and I never cared what people do with it, both "good" or "bad". I only …

Are you suggesting I should pick the markup format for my private files according to the perceived popularity of another format? I'm not sure what's your point. Are you telling peo…

I think this is moving the goal post. Cloudflare isn't challenging the need to restrict access to some websites, it is challenging who has the right to decide. Quoting the tweet: >…

What he's saying is that the grandparent (top-rated as of this writing) comment claiming that agribusinesses are hiding the benefits of "community gardens, local food, farmers mark…

You're not wrong, however the issue is that it's not always easy to detect if a PR includes proof that the change works. It requires that the reviewer interrupts what they're doing…

"breaking the licenses"? "without attribution"? Did we read the same article?

You get better at it the more you do it, and naturally with experience you'll notice it takes less and less time. That being said, I agree with you, it does take a lot of time. To …

Agreed. I pull it out undercooked so I have time to add enough pasta water in the pan and let it reduce. If it's already al dente by the time it's added to the pan, then I find I h…

The answer is... complicated: - Using butter for pasta is something that is typically reserved for people with upset stomach (understand diarrhea). It's not scientific at all, but …

The main reason for tagliatelle/pappardelle is to get "fresh" pasta. "Pasta Fresca" or "Pasta all'uovo" is made of different ingredients than spaghetti. It's usually soft wheat and…

Some suggestions, take it or leave it: - delay the boiling of the pasta until after you added the tomato sauce to the pan. Tomatoes enjoy spending a bit more time on the stove, it …

> Your other option is to purposely undercook the pasta by a few minutes before adding it to the sauce to let it finish. This is super important. I don't know why the article prese…

I wrote my own blogging engine back in 2015. I am fairly certain I'm the only user. I actively use it to maintain two small websites. Ask Me Anything :)

It's not about "sympathy". It's about crime. If you left your front door wide and I robbed you, I'd have committed a crime. There's no "but the front door was open" defense.
