I attempted a very small version of this at work, on a small area of our codebase. Firstly, how are we defining tech debt in the abstract to guide an agent? Once it got going, probably half the PRs got thrown out, 25% seemed like preference

I've found that the only way I can reliably create focus of late is to put music on. It's as though the music prevents my mind from wandering and/or wondering because it is already being consumed

The specifics were about whether it required any additional preparation like a traditional poppadom vs being a ready to eat snack like a crisp. Walkers lost the case. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan&

I believe the British Airways site still does something similar to this, or it did until very recently if it's been fixed. Add a password that is too long, it gets truncated and the truncated version saved with no warning or error. It

In my experience that tends to only be true in the larger subreddits. The (potentially) more niche subreddits I use don't have that same problem outside of maybe a 'read the FAQs before posting'
