  • Pretty much.

    I’ve started using AI on a project last week and the first thing I do is write tests. Lots of tests.

    With enough guardrails, you could actually get pretty decent quality output out of it and with enough regression tests, you can ensure that nothing’s actually breaking.

    Similarly, reviewing its changes and actually reading the code that’s being generated to ensure correctness is necessary. However, I am finding ways to automate that and reduce the incident rate of problems to even lower than my co-workers.












  • A lot of that pain can be reduced by writing and running your code locally before pushing it to a CI environment. Generally with our automation we write a CLI, And GitHub actions is just an execution environment that calls the CLI.

    And if what you’re trying to do must execute inside an action. You can run workflows locally with docker!



  • We’re not pretending, this is an asinine view.

    Two things can be true at once. It’s surprising how difficult a concept this is to grasp.

    Social media accelerated this, it provides the vehicle in which to make culture wars the only thing at the front of people’s minds. It accelerated division and hate, as these improve platform attention.

    Let’s not even talk about the death of critical thinking which just allows this to happen to greater effect.

    Rising wealth inequality because a side effect of us not fighting a class war which is a side effect of us being completely focused on culture wars which is a side effect of social media.

    There’s an entire chain here and social media underpins most of it’s acceleration


  • I disagree.

    I don’t necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven’t encountered.

    Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I’ve found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.

    Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.

    This doesn’t mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.
