If you own a company that is throwing AI at a real problem people have, but is reducing the quality of the overall medium,
eg:
- email
- code authoring, review
- generative images and video
You are making the internet a worse place for its users.
You are the villain.

This is why i no longer create tickets ahead of time, and instead create tickets on the fly, as i go, for each of the little prs i do each day.

There is a flaw in a way management measures "velocity". It's usually based on new features gets delivered. But at least half of the work is maintenance of existing features with many tiny tasks that nobody counts

Rywalker can't code
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

wow, jest goes out of its way to prevent ESM usage, even on new enough nodes where you can require ESM.

derived data is so much better than useEffect / effect-based data-management.
Derived data is a design philosophy that usually has your whole UI "done" in a single render pass.
This is huge for the longevity and portability of your app

TIL basic economics is communism
If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Can someone at GitHub or know someone at GitHub tell them to not auto-scroll the CI when you load the logs.
I never ever ever want autoscroll.
I'll scroll myself if I want the bottom of the logs
An option would be fine, too, tho I think the default should be never auto scroll

Ghostty isn't there yet.
Switched back to alacritty at work (mac).
On Ubuntu, i still use the default terminal. It's worlds better than Mac's default terminal.

my claude code often gets stuck when it runs dev server or similar and then for some reason just waits forever on it. is there a way to teach it to never get stuck

As an open source dev, I maintain *products*
They aren't products that I charge for, but they are products used by my employer. So I get paid indirectly.
Any issue brought up on GitHub is treated similarly to how you'd treat a customer support ticket (albeit with greater haste)
