Is this the same as a GTM (Go-To-Market) Engineer?

I've always wondered if Chrome leaks these URLs too.

It explains in the article under "Why did it happen?".

Raph was the lead game designer on SWTOR a game that was way ahead of it's time and one of the most enjoyable sandbox mmorpg's I've ever played. I'm working on a new game that will take inspiration from lessons learned there.

I think the headline is a bit vague, it includes passwords as well. Does anyone know if Troy's HIBP'd site reveals the passwords to verified users? I'd like to know if my current or what generation of passwords has been breached to evaluate if I have a current or past problem with my devices.

That's where I really appreciated Android's ability to sub-out its entire UI to something totally customizable, accessible and able to be locked down. Drag my face contacts of myself and siblings onto the home screen so Mom can just click a face and it calls her contact. On the desktop, Windows is terrible for seniors, MacOS too. iPad can be decent but there are alot of areas where seniors get confuddled and have to call someone in.

This, 1000x.

I had a dozen domains and projects on the shelf for years and now 8 of them have significant active development. I've already deployed 2 sites to production. My github activity is lighting up like a Christmas tree.

In the mid-2000s I was doing some consulting in middle America and noticed a bunch of Indian IT workers staying at the same hotel I was staying at. Since, I was Indian-origin, we engaged in some small-chat. They were working for a now defunct telecom giant (but contracted by one of the big Indian consultancies) on various software projects. There were there on not, H1Bs, but another class of short-term business-meeting only visas. They told me every 3 months a whole new team would cycle onto the project with a fresh set of business visas and the rest would cycle back home, rinse-repeat. They weren't allowed to "work" per say, and some of their colleagues got rejected at the border by more savvy border agents. But for every 1 rejection, 20 of them would get through.

The pivot is likely because there's more VC dollars there.

It is a handy AI-cli for any terminal. I've been using the "terminal" app for a few months and found it was a very competent coding tool. I kept giving feedback to the team that they should "beef up" the coding side because until Claude Code this was my daily driver for writing code until Opus 4. The interface still is a bit janky because i think it's trying to predict whether you're typing a console command or talking to it for new prompt (it tries to dynamical assess that but often enough it crosses the streams). Regardless, I highly recommend checking it out, I've had some great success with it.

Wonderful, timely article. It sounds like a hybrid approach might produce good results: Using ChatGPT-5 for planning/analysis and using Claude for execution.

I just had the same thing happen. Some comprehensive tests were failing, and it decide to write a simple test instead rather than investigate why these more complicated tests were failing. I wonder if the team is trying to save compute by urging it to complete tasks more quickly! Claude seems to be under a compute crunch as often I get API timeouts/errors.

I write mostly boilerplate and I'd rather have the AI do it. The AI is also slow, which is great, which allows me to run 2 or 3 AI workspaces working on different tickets/problems at the same time.

Where AI especially excels is helping me do maintenance tickets on software I rarely touch (or sometimes never have touched). It can quickly read the codebase, and together we can quickly arrive at the place where the patch/problem lies and quickly correct it.

I haven't written anything "new" in terms of code in years, so I'm not really learning anything from coding manually but I do love solving problems for my customers.

Oracle threatened our organization with 10m in fines because of some rogue apps here and there, gave us 5 days to remediate it. I believe they went with a mix of OpenJDK & Corretto. (100k+ org)
