I believe it's only a strategy that works in the short-term. If you ever expect the software to be stable, quality, and human-maintainable, you're going to need a good test suite (hopefully not AI-generated) to get away with that

I couldn't agree more. We really need more engineers to be vocal about how stupid these ideas are. "How about we throw out 30+ years of software engineering literature so we can 'move faster'?" What if the customers

Given the amount of spaghetti code I see frontier models generating on a daily basis, I cannot take seriously the idea that LLMs will write all the code, and somehow our systems will not degrade in performance, reliability, and maintainabil

This is an amazing result. Can't wait until they release this to the general public, and I hope it's only a matter of time before other models are accelerated. I long for the day that regular consumers can run such models locally

Nice, I've been waiting for something like this for years. Meanwhile the gaming scene on linux has been getting better slowly thanks to Valve and friends... but being able to boot into a Windows VM with graphics acceleration was previo

100% agree - you don't need the most up-to-date model to have something that's useful in agentic contexts. They could even produce chips with weights that make all the decision making/logical reasoning and have it delegate to

You're absolutely right!

Great book recommendations (I have read parts of the Google SRE book and Designing Data Intensive Applications)! I will also add a couple gems that I don't see often-cited: Simple Object-Oriented Design by Mauricio Aniche and Secure by

I had the same experience. I don't know why they haven't invested more in this feature. Heck, if they classified every site in their index as "AI/not AI" using machine learning, and had a large allowlist of "kn

As someone who is also eyeing Bifrost, I am curious to know what made you choose Bifrost at all / why you decided to use an LLM gateway. I also was considering OpenRouter, since it provides pretty much every model, with same-day releas

I am very curious what some of your lint rules look like in practice. In my mind a lot of the AI-isms in my code that I hate are stylistic or a matter of taste, not necessarily something I could write a deterministic rule to check. But I wa

I'm surprised there isn't a simple image classifier in place to filter out images of gore/porn/etc. - I know that there are such output filters for images with copyrighted content. It suggests to me that either the safeg

Legend has it that if you can come up with a string that matches all parts of that regex, Claude starts spitting out free credits.

This is genius. Let's hope the hackers aren't reading this...

That was an amazing talk, thanks for sharing! I could see the writing on the wall as soon as I saw the bucket names were predictable. Bucket squatting + public buckets + time of check/time of use in the CloudFormation service = deployi

Mostly just noise. This is an example data video from the creator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIRXaQWjiA8 (YouTube video for this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l03Os5uwWmk )

The "> Remove lockfiles from version control" got me as well. > Reproducible builds sound nice in theory, but velocity matters more than determinism. Think of it as chaos engineering for your dependency tree. Reproducible b

As far as a scripting API, it looks like the devs beat me to it with a JS/TS plugin system: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/develop/distributi...

This is a cool idea. I wanted to do something like this by adding a Lua API to OpenRCT2 that allows you to manipulate and inspect the game world. Then, you could either provide an LLM agent the ability to write and run scripts in the game,
