So upset for Vlad, he willed that double down the left field line and got left on base 90 feet away 😭
Pinch hit for Kirk? Yamamoto should be the MVP. Impressive. He's like the Japanese Pedro.

The latest Oxide & Friends covered the benefits of code that splits making vs. executing plans.
I love that pattern so much! Last year I wrote about how I use it.

Most of the software I write exists to automate a process. It might automate a high-level workflow like peer-to-peer money transfers, or a low-level implementation detail like encoding an HTTP request...

Today I was facing a gnarly somewhat mechanical migration and figured maybe I should try this AI thing.
First stab seemed ok, but many unrelated changes. So I said: revert, try again with no unrelated change.
Here's what the LLM responded:
"I micts\adelphia αsask齿ormaliy ibrahim郭 kepαt debug"

We conflate 2 different things when we talk about "velocity"
- External velocity: how fast we ship features
- Internal velocity: how fast we make code changes
They're connected but different.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Knowing how Compose injects the Composer, wraps groups, and tracks remember scopes gives you full control over recomposition.
It is the difference between hoping your code is efficient and knowing it is.
That is the value of understanding internals.

This was detected in UI tests, and we'd rather not disable leak detection in tests, so we hacked a fix that resets a the Lazy holder for SharedTransitionObserver.
