As someone who is not American, $10,000!!!!!! That's hard to conceive where I live. We even have a specifically free ambulance service here.

The topic and content was genuinely interesting, but it read like an annoying LinkedIn promotional article with all the short punchy sentences.

We're using OpenClaw to do a massive number of fixes and improvements to our ERP.

It takes Jira tickets, resolves them, and creates a GitHub PR, which is then reviewed by another AI agent. It can even analyse screenshots with MS Paint-style arrows.

So far it's been an amazing tool - I am very impressed.

"make their own fork which nobody else is interested in because it is personalized to them"

Isn't that literally how open-source works, and why there's so many Linux distros?

Code quality is a subjective term as well, I feel like everyone dunking on AI coding is a defensive reaction - over time this will become an entirely acceptable concept.

Well luckily it turned out that they were all ne'er-do-wells so it's all good.

Just like when the US used drones on Iraqi convoys and amazingly they were all Al-Qaeda sympathisers.

This is what most people miss when they criticise UBI - for most people, it will be immediately spent, taxed, and put back into the economy. As long as the velocity is there, it's not an entirely bad idea as long as inflation can be kept under control.

At a very large bank here in Australia & NZ, all XML messages going through the main message bus had a trailing space character appended to the end, which broke XML validation on the receiving endpoint.

So the solution was for all endpoints to trim the very last character - not just if it was a space, but to chop off the last character. Apparently this had been the solution for years.

This worked really well until one day someone (probably a new grad) saw the character issue and figured they'd fix it.

A bank-wide P1 incident occurred because every single XML message was now unparsable due to the malformed closing '</xml ' tag. Every single application in the bank had to do an emergency update on its XML parser.
