Sure, but then the manager is accountable for delegating that decision.

I would go farther and argue that companies don't make decisions either. They are also not people (legal nonsense notwithstanding). Individual actual humans make decisions and they're the ones who should be held accountable.

I always thought Wallace was a self-portrait of Nick Park. If your find a video interview with him, the way his mouth moves when he speaks is totally Wallace. It's uncanny.

Are they working on the Voynich Manuscript? That seems like something an LLM would be good at.

The author mentions it briefly, but I'd like to see more exploration of what we can do differently now that we're all online all the time. I think that could potentially enable a Git-level revolution in the way we do things, similar to the way unlimited disk space did for Git.

They do.

Surprisingly to remove small numbers of rows in multiple tables (e.g. cleanup between automated tests), DELETE is often faster than TRUNCATE! It's counterintuitive but just measure it for yourself and see. Note you can DELETE from multiple tables in one statement using CTEs, and that way you don't need to think about foreign key dependency order.

How about instead of a contrived take-home project or doing unpaid "real work" for the company, we ask candidates to do n hours of work on an open source project?

That's real useful work, if we don't hire them they can show it off to a different hiring company, and it makes the world a better place.

Public libraries are funded and supported by the public though. They need attention, and if you read the other comments on this post it's almost like most of these people don't even realise that public libraries exist.

That was a lovely video, thank you.

Can't build iOS apps on anything else sadly.

I caught Claude using docker (running as root) to access files on my machine it couldn't read using it's user.

Naming this after a distopia may be unintentionally apt...
