I think people have read so much corporate PR posts they think that is a rule of how to post online.

This post is his personal blog, he is a human writing what he thinks.

If this was a tweet people would be fine with it, but it is a blog so he should make it corporate-y

I don't think you are using that right. Saying someone is bringing a bad vibe to your project, as the point he has a bad vibe is just stating the conclusion.

Like if someone calls you a bad programmer and doesn't hire you as a programmer, isn't ad hominem

"The question was never whether this would involve costs"

Brexit was sold as being positive for the economy. The proponents drove a bus around saying they would get 350 million back. It was largely advertised as a net positive for the economy

Would it be fair to say that because the US Navy is not running it as a for-profit power generation that would help. Like every accident seems to be a list of cost saving shortcuts being responsible

There must have been so much unseen behavior when there were millions more whales in the ocean. Here's hoping that we can see more

Some of these laws are like Gravity, inevitable things you can fight but will always exist e.g. increasing complexity. Some of them are laws that if you break people will yell at you or at least respect you less, e.g. leave it cleaner than when you found it.

If AI could reliably write good code then you shouldn't need to even commit the code as the general rule is you shouldn't commit generated code. Commit the session when you don't need to commit the code

I had an old MacMini I hadn't plugged in since 2014-ish and I tried to boot it this year and it refused to boot, and refused to update.

It now runs Ubuntu. Good little machine

Autocorrect is balls. I have a friend in my contacts, and when I type her name it sometimes autocorrects to "leaving".

"Wait 6 months" has been the call for 3-4 years now. You can't eulogize a profession that hasn't been killed, that's just mean.

Won't people just use AI to define specification? Like if they are getting most of it done with AI, won't they won't read/test the code to verify won't they also not read the spec

Social media is cigarettes. There are lots of studies showing the negative impacts to say that limiting their reach is probably good for society and individuals.

Just about all arguments against this are the same arguments that would stop governments limiting booze or tabaco

My main advice for engineers is to write a blog. It isn't for anyone else it is to organize your thoughts. But should be presented in a way others can learn from. For a year I published every Tuesday morning, and that schedule made me learn so much so fast.

I once worked with a library that had such a deep inheritance tree, only for ontological purposes, that I was always confused as to where anything was actually implemented. I decided to squash the layers and found almost every method was overrode two or three times.

That was the project that I turned against inheritance, it was 2009, project was written in Java 1.4

FUSE is such a cool idea but every application always suffers performance problems when stressed. I tried LiteFS and it worked, but litestream was awesome.
