Wonder why LLMs write so many useless and repetitive tests without using parametrization? Is it the norm in the code they've been trained on?

I don't like Cursor (they made choices that don't fit my way of working). Do you like any VS Code extension that works well for auto completion? I am all good on code agents, just need auto completion to relieve the tedium occasionally.

I've wanted to use stacked branches in #git for a while. Finally adopted, git-town a few weeks ago. It seems to be fine, fits my mental model, but is a bit slow. Anyone got a stacked branch tool that they like?

If your process slows down progress without obvious value, it's time to fix the process or ditch it entirely.

Today was when I realized that the Mail app icon on iOS and macOS has Apple’s address in tiny print on the back of the envelope.

Apparently macOS has had it for a while, but on iOS it was just added.

Apparently in Finland, PhD graduates get a freakin' sword! And their hat looks way better than the Canadian one!

I feel like I need to find a Canadian sword maker and right this wrong for myself.

Here’s how to get classified information from the current government. Remember chain emails? Chain email + phone number = get into contact list. Increase your chances of being added to secret discussions.

A lot of tech people, particularly more junior folks, are looking for jobs right now. A short but important note for them: newcomers should generally ignore career advice from people who've been in the field longer than 10 or 15 years.

Beware tech career advice from old heads - Jacob Kaplan-Moss
If you’re new to tech – say, less than 5 years in the field – you should take career advice from people who’ve been in the industry more than 10-15 years with enormous skepticism.

I've occasionally seen Europeans end up in this kind of situation when they cross from Mexico, but usually it's because they haven't followed the waiver process correctly to be entering from a land border. Sounds like this woman had all her docs straight and is somehow still in custody a month later

The young woman had planned to spend a month with a friend in Los Angeles and then fly home to Berlin. But she’s been in federal custody since late January.
