I'm wondering: What did she tell you that made you build the website? Did she ask the same thing from the AI? Did you bridge any gaps the AI didn't do for you? I don't know the answer, but I suspect that she treated the AI differently and would've gotten better results if she had asked what she told you. At least if it's an agentic coding assistant like Claude Code or GitHub Copilot. Of course a simple chat will leave manual tasks for you.

Now you can be sure they write their announcements by hand. Doesn't really matter, does it?

I had long discussions over whether we could just not use tons on npm libraries and use the native browser feature for things like that. I typically lose these discussions because I'm considered the backend guy. My knowledge about HTML, JS and CSS dates back to times when there was no npm...

They're not, but all of their colleagues are.

I really like this paragraph about management caring about AI:

> What makes this worse, is our bosses have bought into it this time too. My managers never cared much about database technologies, IDE’s or javascript frameworks; they just wanted the feature so they could sell it. Management seems to have stepped firmly and somewhat haphazardly into the implementation detail now. I reckon most of us have got some sort of company initiative to ‘use more AI’ in our objectives this year.

At least you got a mug!

But I/O being the bottleneck never was about sequential reads, was it? I get the point of the article, though.

I'm wondering what exact issue you are referring to with Databricks? I can't remember a time I had to change a line I wrote during the past 2.5 years I've been using it. Or are you talking about non-breaking changes?

At least in the Java world it is common to let the logging framework handle parameter evaluation for you.

But lack of water will become a huge problem when your city is growing that fast in a heating climate.

Edit: And cooling only works inside buildings or cars. Part of a comfortable city is being able to go outside and have a social life outside of a casino.

Not building your city in the desert is also a good idea when it comes to being a comfortable city.

Extending the format just because you can – and breaking backwards compatibility along the way – is even more pointless.

If you've created an extensible file format, but you never need to extend it, you've done everything right, I'd say.

How long does this procedure take in comparison to the network transfer?

My first try would've been to copy the db file first, gzip it and then transfer it but I can't tell whether compression will be that useful in binary format.
