> You can even do what I did in the first program I ever wrote and use php code as a storage format. __halt_compiler() is fantastic for this (mixing code + data). I've done it a few times.

Might be better to think of the LLM as the student, and you're an imposter tutor. You're trying to assess the kid's knowledge without knowing the material yourself, but the kid is likely to lie when he doesn't know somet

My manager gave me gruff the other day for adding a TODO that I had no intention of ever doing. TODOs are like a get out of jail free card. Don't want to do something the reviewer is likely going to call out? Just add a TODO.

I've declared quality bankruptcy. Decisions are now driven by user needs. Did I half-ass that feature? Yes. Is anyone actually using it despite crying it's essential? No. Then it's not getting cleaned up. Are they not using i

Just drop the flat fee. Stripe is 2.9% + 30c. If they did 3% and no flat fee, then on $1 you'd get 97 cents instead of less than 70. I assume the CC companies are charging a flat fee too...unless that's just Stripe's own thin

Hopefully the work was underway for awhile already, and maybe they just launched it now because the damage is already done?

I thought it was pretty good actually. Most of these leak disclosures usually say things like "We do not have evidence they accessed any secrets" or something like that, because they don't "know" what the hackers di

probably the URL got cut off and the base64 got corrupt.

I used to use VSCode for this but then they went and effed it up by adding so much spam to the app. If I happened to have an SSH open connection previously, it just reconnects to that and makes me wait, and then I have to press buttons to g

base64 is the opposite of compressed. Does it actually apply compression before base64-encoding? Doesn't really look like it by watching the URL.

I'd give up instantly and outsource it to a SaaS. I'm no expert on email but I know enough to know it's a PITA and managing delivery is a thing, and you have to make sure your DNS is configured right out the receiver will jus

I especially like when I'm looking for a particular method on a class I've never used before and it just makes one up for me as though it exists.

I tried to do the pre-signed URL thing but gave up quickly. I don't know how you'd do it properly. You're going to want a record of that in your database, right? So what, you have the client upload the image and then send a 2

Those are pretty fast but I suspect spending nearly any amount of time running some model to spit out an icon is too much time. I should be able to load a directory with 1000s or 10s of thousands of files extremely quickly.

Your boss comes up to you and says "I need this by Tuesday" and then storms out of the room. You look down at your watch to confirm you're not crazy. Today is Tuesday. When does your boss need it by?

We could technically do # of minutes since 1970-01-01T00:00:00 (or whatever) & seconds though, no? (int32 minutes, double seconds) would get us a pretty big range in a pretty compact format.
