there's a wonderful blog post about this that I wish I could find and can't. I feel like it was a github gist. The gist of it is something like: - Bazel community hits a problem with something like how npm behaves around paths - B

I'm a bit worried this is intro'ing the classic problem we have in Bazel land, where everyone is having to show up with their own sort of packaging scripts etc instead of using upstream tooling one way or another. I had the impres

The sort of real thing is that it's not just about no-downtime deploys, but also stuff like rolling back smoothly, general continuous deployment or even just generally being able to easily move between versions. I still think there are

while what you're saying is true in theory, you still have to make sure that e.g. your form responses do the right thing. You might think "just return the full page!" but it's extra work that for many people is busywork,

write the tests yourself. Or at least the sketch of the test (to get filled in later). Make a commit of what you do so you can then look at the changes. If you write the tests the agents have an easier time writing the code!

the cynical take is of course that the tests were written by Claude and not validated. Unfortunately "automatic generation" of unit tests have made a big part of the value of unit tests ("I am telling you what I expect here&q
