idk, i never thought > “it is blasphemy to delete a test”, was ever a thing. i still don't. if a test is flaky, but it covers something useful, it should be made not flaky somehow. if tests are slow, but they are useful, then they s

I really enjoyed this article. I liked what the person had to say about “care” especially, and the sort of crappy scarf that his mother-in-law still loved.

I’m both an amateur musician and a professional coder. Definitely IMO code is a real physical thing that produces tangible results. (I personally think that code operationally is a physical thing, down to basics like logic gates and stuff.

tbh i don't feel like the people who scheduled a 10 min meeting did anything wrong. the room is marked as free during that time; they know they will be done in 10 mins; it's a shared resource... what's the point of a schedule

just a quick response, i have asked a few Go questions that he (ILT) has answered on public forums. i don't work at google and never have. but he was clear and thoughtful with me. most of all, he was helpful.

how is the webauthn story for FF? I recall that some hardware tokens could sometimes play weird with FF on Mac, I am not sure if Windows had the same thing. that was one practical advantage Chrome had.

Maybe a code gen layer that generates rust types from a db schema. I don’t know rust but have seen those in other languages. I could see a DB enum type corresponding to a language specific enum type and then the language rules applying. I d
