If my tree kept a log of all the activities that led to it being a tree, I wouldn't mind if that log included "Spear and Jackson". To me the closer analogy with software would be if the final web app interface was stamped wit

I'm not sure i see it as an ad. "Sent from my iPhone" is an ad because the iPhone is not a meaningful part of sending the email. Claude is a meaningful part of the commit though if you're using it, so to me it's mor

Most comments I read were positive, what kind of negative sentiment were you picking up in these comments?

What's misleading? Wouldn't the session corroborate that it was only used for the commit?

Related to the form of the article rather than the content: what purpose do pull quotes serve in an online publication? Especially on phones they are so goofy, you read the pull quote and then one or two lines later you read it again. I get

That is interesting and I didn't know that, though the commenter said air coming out of their vents almost 50 degrees below the outdoor air temp, so I'm tempted to think they weren't referring to the outlet temperature.

Not trying to shame you but...50 degrees? Do you live in Phoenix and keep your home at 60 degrees?

I don't think losing faith in the value of your job is the same a losing your job due to automation.

Good faith question: what would you do with this information if you had it? For example, do you have a systematic audit plan for github accounts that you execute before using a project?

Hard agree, I would never use a totally different piece of software to run prod vs dev or local.

It always amazes me the things that other people get really amped up about. I've never in my life felt anything at all about cut and paste.

I know this is probably a bad question but it says that this language would be good for C developers who like Go's safety. Isn't Go's safety achieved by its garbage collection, which is eliminated in this language? What eleme

Lol I guess. I think there's a massive chasm between being ignorant of your effect on someone else and actively inflicting pain, but I'm sure I won't convince you that this is a meaningful difference if you don't already

I also dislike loud cars, but I've come to accept that the motivation of loud car owners is probably to gain kudos from other loud car lovers, rather than to inflict pain on us normies. One time I remember being on my bicycle and a kid

Never hurts to have a reasonable, non-alarmist take on why the status quo is probably more durable than the hype men would have you believe. More of this please.

By far the most satisfying piece I've read in this saga. Favorite line: > I’m not the one saying that their environment resulted in a buggy unmaintainable mess, Bun is the one saying that.

I have commit signing enabled by default. I run my harness in a sandbox which doesn't have access to my signing key, and I always tell it not to commit. When it ignores me, the commit fails because it can't access the signing key.

Right, but their top level credential is as a staff software engineer. Glaring webpage styling issues don't bode well for such a credential.
