I'm not American but I guess they don't want it because it's shit.

Apps running locally can also be subject to security issues. What you're trying to say is probably "apps not using untrusted input". If an app takes no input all, I guess we could say that security isn't an issue, but there could still be safety issues.

Strongly agree with your second point, too many times I had to figure out issues caused by code trying to handle errors but actually hiding them and making it so much harder to debug. The typical antipattern: catching SomeErrorType just to log "error of that type occurred", thus hiding the associated error message and the stacktrace. Even worse: trying to catch every error types.

Don't catch errors unless doing something actually useful with them. Even then, it's often a good idea to re-raise.

As someone who is part of that other half, I agree.

Testing is a skill. The more you do it, the less expensive it becomes.

Wow, really?! I had no idea that such policies existed. Quite astonishing I have to say.

So no AI autocomplete I suppose?

I assume AI autocomplete may send any part of your code base or even all of it to a third-party.

Thank you for the reply. What do you mean by "AI mandates"? Does it mean your company has an explicit policy allowing sharing code with AI services?

As a developer who doesn't use AI for coding, except for the occasional non-project specific question to a chat bot, I am wondering if you use it for client projects or only for your own projects. If you do use it for client projects, do you have some kind of agreement that you're going to share their code with a third-party? I'm asking because most clients will make you sign a contract saying that you shouldn't disclose any information about the project to a third-party. I even once had a client who explicitly stated that AI should not be used. Do you find clients willing to make an exception for AI coding agents?

Bitwig is all right though.

Framapad, Framacalc and Framadate are used quite a lot around here.

Rock solid DJ software. I've used it for IRL events, streaming, radio shows. Higly recommended.

Oh OK my bad, I didn't get that. Seems like a strange idea to me. If money is the issue, you can probably find a decent second hand MIDI keyboard for a very reasonable price.

Take lessons with a piano teacher and practice a lot on your own.
