My company uses Linear. The data presented in this blog post is worthless to me and the company. It can be crudely summarized as “agents and agentic development processes are conducting more Linear operations.” Duh!

The data is aggregated, and you cannot possibly identify a single user from what's been published. I see no issue here.

Altria already does this to some extent. See their Digital Trade Program.

My threshold is three. The third time I duplicate code/behavior is when I start to think about DRYing said code/behavior.

I primarily care about the pull request title and description since we squash-merge and those values end up populating the squashed commit.

I have the technical acumen and money, but zero desire or time to spend ripping discs. It's far too easy to raid the "five dollar bin" at MoviesAnywhere (like I used to do at Wal-Mart and Best Buy). Licensing issues like Sony

If you already have Elasticsearch, it makes sense to continue utilizing it. Saying, “just use SQLite” completely dismisses the idea that this is a _shared_ memory across teams. The ability to easily connect to the remote service and have ev

The current administration doesn’t care about climate change, or believes it’s a hoax. Given this, they see no need to fund research and data gathering that tells them otherwise.

This also impacts the U.S. I had a workflow timeout on checkout after 6 hours.

I've owned a Fitbit Aria Air for nearly eight years. It stopped syncing a few days ago. Google's response is essentially, "we broke it."

Congrats on the launch! DB clones have been a game changer for my team, allowing us to build isolated workspaces for agents to do work ranging from optimizing queries/views to building UI/UX that works for the actually combination

I don’t have any head-to-head comparisons of the same app written in both languages. I can compare apps with similar functionality: listening to GitHub web hooks vs. Linear web hooks. Both are deployed to Kubernetes. The GitHub listener wri

I picked Go because it tends to use fewer resources than Node.js, and startup time is quite fast.

LOC doesn’t have much to do with the “constraints of the language”. Stripe has dabbled in Golang. There is also a growing Java monorepo.

Ruby code touches financial transactions. Card payments were migrated to Java when I left in 2022. Non-card payments (e.g., ACH, checks, various wallets) were still processed by Ruby. PCI-related/vaulting code lived in its own locked-d

The electronic shel labels use e-ink. Their refresh time is around 30 seconds. What happens if two shoppers are looking at the same product?

Your plan fails in a few ways. Refreshing the content on an electronic shelf label (ESL) takes about 30 seconds, and multiple people can view a product simultaneously. Unless the store is giving everyone AR glasses, people will notice the p

You're thinking of pricing zones—shoppers in Zone A pay a different price than those in Zone B. This makes sense, for example, if shipping costs are higher in Zone B. The bill in question is about per-shopper pricing (e.g, you and I pa

It’s strange to see so many commenters celebrating the death of a company and the loss of so many jobs. I flew Spirit a few times. The first time sucked because it was an emergency and I had no other option. The last few flights were great.

Nothing is “trivial” when you combine humans and computers. I worked at the MIT Computing Help Desk during my undergraduate years. We joked that we received callas from Nobel laureates who could find subatomic particles but couldn’t find th

You're producing technical debt. At some point you will invest more time fixing the vibe slop than it would have cost you to do the work yourself in the first place. A lot of vibe-coding just feels like shifting responsibility and reso

You joke and folks downvote, but this is my biggest issue with WebStorm. I'm seriously considering switching for the first time in 16 years. Zed is quite snappy. The Claude Code integration in VS Code is brilliant. I've used the C
