Cool project! I’m still trying to figure out if this sort of thing is the future, or something that the big AI labs will subsume into their products on their own soon. Or something that won’t be necessary in a few months when LLMs get smart

I multi-task. While I’m waiting for Claude, I either check email or work with a different instance of Claude on a second problem

I ran into a situation at work today that prompted me to write up a lesson I've learned over my past 20+ years of working in the field. In my experience, both software developers and software testers often don't think about this.

I really don't see any benefit of introducing a JSON API into the JDK. Jackson works great already. Are they really going to make something that much better?

+1 It is pretty astonishing they haven't done something about that. It doesn't seem like it should be a very hard language feature.

This is a huge let-down after Java 8, but I guess that was inevitable. Lambdas are a tough act to follow and are probably my favorite addition to the JDK ever.

This discussion reminds me of a 2005 article from Joel Spolsky called "Making Wrong Code Look Wrong". It has a similar point to this article: there are things we can do as programmers to make our code less error prone. It's

I'm curious what Chrome's plans are for the future, in particular related to parallelization. Has anyone seen any articles about that anywhere?

I can't wait to try this out! Pop music can be energetic, but it can also be very distracting. In the past, electronic music has been my go-to, but lately I've tired of it.

It may actually be a good thing if Chrome migrates to OpenSSL. With their resources, perhaps they can do some testing to see if there are any more vulnerabilities out there. At the very least, their continued eye on the project should hel

It's nice to know that despite all the alarmist articles about the end of antibiotics, good progress is being made. If this works, it could completely replace traditional antibiotics. In that case, I could see dozens of new drugs in

As usual, silly little phrases like this are just silly. Lots of things are tradeoffs, but not everything. For example, picking good variable names doesn't involve any tradeoffs.

The press release makes IE11 sound great, but as a developer I know it's going to be yet another version of IE I have to support :( Does anyone know how true the claims of 30% faster JavaScript performance are? That sounds too good to
