They aren't proposing to replace git though. They are just attempting to make it simpler for developers to follow changes applied by an LLM in an ergonomic fashion. Not saying it w…

Super cool! Any plans to release it for Linux? Would love to test it but I have no Mac unfortunately

The more complex the more fragile. The simpler the solution the more robust. This, I feel, is an overall truth to software development. And simpler solutions, as far as I know, are…

I've read that privileged ports was created as a trust model, so users connecting to a service using a privileged port would know that service was started by root on that server an…

I can understand that feeling, but remember that just because you have been handed a new powertool you mustn't always use it. Life is not about optimizing everything. It makes redu…

This made me think and reflect, thank you. Not so much about language design as how easy it is to take a defensive position on something we are comfortable with when it's challange…

Not an expert, but, when you give Claude, or any AI agent a query it will usually need to do research, use various tools, execute commands etc. and all of this accumelates text in …

I have the same CPU in my primary system, and if you can afford it, it’s so choice. A big surprise for me, having owned both a Ryzen gen 1 & 3 previously, was that this time my sys…

While I cannot see a way to effectively stop companies from collecting data from you (aside from avoiding practically everything), that doesn’t mean we should do nothing. DuckDuckG…

Great article. It think it raises a good point. An important aspect of modern programming languages should be to simplify the syntax, to help developers avoid mistakes. This remind…

For example, they retain the right now to brick your console remotely if you go against their usage policies. Which they retain the right to change at will. So, effectively you rea…

The author makes a good point but for the wrong reason I think. The fact that companies lock down their software, and hardware (looking at you Apple), is their choice just like it …

Just one more reason not to buy a Switch 2. Seriously, Nintendo has become worse than Apple when it comes to treating their customers. I own hundreds of Nintendo games and every co…

Whenever my logic said one thing and my gut feeling told me different, I used to ignore my gut. This would more often than not cause some sort of backlash I could not possibly have…

I wanted to take a look, but I didn’t want to create an account. An open demo might help bring in clients. Could not see any real content about how it works on the front page, just…

I’m strictly against collecting data from users unless absolutely necessary, and never without their consent. As for technology stripping us of our humanity, I could not agree less…

While I am a little tired of the majority of all news being on the subject of AI, I think it’s important to remember that it is arguably the biggest thing that’s happened to our in…

The author has a point. Obsolete tests serves no one, but deleting a test because it will randomly fail is an indication of an unstable process. Maybe there is a race condition, ma…

As part of my QA process, I always read through my own pull request before submitting it, to ensure I fix any obvious mistakes I made before it's reviewed by my colleagues. No one …

I’ve been a developer for 25 years and I both love and hate what AI is doing to our industry. I use these tools in projects where there is no sensitive information, outside of my o…

Initially, yes. For me, it took the joy out of development. I was at the point of abandoning it but decided to try some different approaches with it. I think it’s here to stay and …
