That's because at the end of the day: - accessibility is just usability. all it is is making sure your product is as usable by as many people as possible. - it's a myth that "people with disabilities" are some other th

Github Actions is actually so incredibly scary to have on public repo. It's full of so many footguns that's far from obvious. It's a shame Github is buried under their current server issues, because it would be great to get i

The question is whether it's possible for a genuinely new competitor to arrive. Back in the earlier days, before Apple and Google were so entrenched, competitors weren't able to do it. The modern smartphone became popular and di

The instructive part about the comparison is that believing "AI is a bubble" doesn't mean saying that AI is worthless. After all, after the dot-com bubble burst the internet still existed and continued to transform the whol

The takeaway is that everyone makes security hard. Everyone does this anti-pattern of having these other domains that defeat all their own security recommendations. GitHub for ages had something like githubnext.com where they would make y

I suspect most developers don’t care too much about cost because they’re just using what their company is just paying for whatever enterprise subscription/billing.

"tests" here could mean have a benchmark the agent can run to determinately evaluate quality. I don't strictly mean junit unit tests.

by madeofpalk 2mo ago
Tests! Unit tests, integration tests, random adhoc scripts. You know - TDD! I’ve been working on UI component improvements and it was doing a lousy job until i specifically told it to test in a headless browser to validate it works. I thin
