Duolingo is down. Coursera is down. What am I supposed to do? Read a book? Where are my fake Internet points?

Half the internet seems to be down thanks to the us-aws-east-1 outage
Perplexity, Amazon .com, Signal all down (just 3 services I tried to use)
When aws-us-east-1 sneezes, the whole world feels it indeed

The new #Develocity #IntelliJ plugin's Live Build Timeline helps you find issues like a faulty input file configuration causing redundant test tasks to run every time.
This fix took the build from 18s to just 1s!

When you choose a language, you’re also choosing a community and their views and goals. I love how much the Zig community cares about fast builds and tight feedback loops.

My favorite thing about LLMs is that when it tries to fast-talk its way through an issue and I ask for facts, figures, and proof, I know I won’t have to manage an ego on the other side.
In other news, if I disappear right after the singularity, you know what happened.

TIL about Programmer’s Day, which I find hilarious, especially because there’s a special case to consider, as any programmer that ever went close to touching date representations knows. 😂

I scored 9/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Thanks to GenAI, taking one hour to automate a task that takes you one minute to do yourself every month is finally a possibility for everyone.

The whole thread is worth a read. I really appreciate @charity.wtf’s perspective on RTO and fully-remote teams.
I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back.
My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs.
Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."

In the interest of making everyone unnecessarily miserable, I created a recursive meta-acronym: Abbreviations, Acronyms and AAAs. I’ll have a committee debate on whether the “and” should be part of it. For additional confusion, you can also refer to it as A3s and possibly make it mutually recursive.

As an external observer, one thing that always positively impressed me of the culture I sense from the Go community is a relentless desire for responsive tooling, which I really appreciate.
TypeScript team: rewrites compiler in Go.
Go community: what do you mean your new compiler takes more than a minute to compile? Unacceptable. Dishonorable even. We are so sorry for this sub par experience. Not how we do things around here.
Two days later: WIP 5x speedup.
HN: why pick Go anyway?

I’m absolutely OK referring to LLMs as AI, as long as we agree that it stands for Autocomplete Improved.

I enjoy my new life as a team lead.
But I would very much prefer if GitHub could avoid being down the exact moment I can get back to coding after 2 days of meetings.
