What's your test coverage like? Not sure why good coverage wouldn't mitigate risk in a refactor... My mantra whenever I'm working with AI is that I want it to know what "point b" looks like and be able to tell by

I believe the Jesus Jones song, "Right Here, Right Now" has become an ironic commentary on Gen X; in that brief moment in the 90's when we thought the nuclear sword of Damocles dangling over all of us had finally been cut dow

It wasn't an attitude of naive hope that there wouldn't be nefarious actors leveraging the protocol; there was a different kind of people using the Internet. There's no need to design security in the system when you literally

Well, it seems revealing that we're discussing togas and not sponges on sticks. I'd wager that's because earlier statements made in this thread regarding the universal, unequivocal truth that no one used shared sponges on sti
