> obvious it is Russia

I love how we're back to good ol' times that there is only one "evil empire", and it's completely impossible that anyone else from dozen of others possible bad actors is involved

My cat decided to sit on the power button of my laptop, and upon restart herdr-app greeted me with empty terminal panes, whereas herdr-tui was just fine.

And seems like they use "herdr-core" (hc) to actually run sessions instead of herdr server, that flushes events only every 100ms -- the agent output is quite jittery with that.

Meh :/

> After formatting the files

Still shocked that people do this by hand in 2026.

Jenkins was (and still is) a PITA to maintain. Moved two different companies off from it to gh actions (self-managed runners in case of a second company), never had any regrets.

It's great if you can do that -- some people (I, for one) get such heavy nausea from reading in any kind of transport that the only thing I can do is listen to the music and look at the clouds.

OTH people who want to buy strat would prefer to buy "strat with all inherited problems already fixed", be it PRS silver sky, or any boutique brand like LSL / Sandberg / Suhr / Tom Anderson.

+100. I also dig fnox (encrypted-secrets-in-git) and hk (pre-hooks manager that is actually fast and stays out of the way) by the same author, pretty much default for any project I start nowadays.

Though I also use nix to manage my machines :-D

It's not like OP asked for any criticism to start with, right? This whole thread is pretty good example of why saying "Fools and children should never see half-finished work" exists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use Ctrl + <number> to switch between different workspaces on Mac, and half of the time I come back to MS web pages or apps (like Teams) the font is either 9000+pt or then -3pt. Outlook takes the cake though, where for whatever reason they decided to support different font "zoom" levels in different parts. And everyone were dreaming of having the inbox menus in 1pt while having email with 1000pt, right?

So 500 people leave for office and turn off the heating at their homes, even if there are other people (kids, elderly) or animals (cats, dogs, birds) living there?

I mean, I've seen enough "django specialists" to end up with queries doing a dozen of join bombs and producing 10 million rows from dataset of maybe 1000 items. So pretty safe to add "ORM" to your last statement.

"Marshmallow test": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experimen...

It was also highlighted (recently?) iirc that it has little to do with discipline and will-power, but is surprisingly affected whether kids come from wealthy / "good" families (and thus can trust grown ups) vs kids coming from poorer / "troubled" families (and thus just leap at the opportunity and don't trust that they will actually get another marshmallow if they will wait).

Sorry to hear your situation, but that doesn't really sound like it's LLM's (a tool in the end) fault, more that poor ways of working are a norm in company you work at. Not much would change if you replace "LLM" with "Consultancy" in your post. And it's hard to really connect the dot between "generated by llm" and "slow" -- code performance doesn't really depend on whether it's being generated or typed out.
