Is there any evidence he's ever driven (or even ridden in) a production unit?

You can't trust it.

You need the same (and probably more) robust controls in place as you would use for a more junior developer.

A human will be influenced by the potential outcome of any proposed solution. For example they might worry about the impact to their employment status if they are wrong, while an LLM will just spit out an answer that is "most likely correct".

> It can't use European ones because of different wheelbase.

Just a quick point of clarification for anyone trying to look this up. The correct term is "gauge" (distance between the rails) instead of "wheelbase" (distance between front and rear wheels). Most European countries use tracks with a gauge of 1,435mm but Ukraine uses 1,520mm.

Superglue / cyanoacrylate wasn't discovered until the 1940s. They were trying to create clear gun sights when they discovered the fact that it sticks to everything. My understanding is that it wasn't used in the field to close wounds until the Vietnam war.

This. A good manager filters out most of the outside noise and problems so the team can focus on the task at hand.

Happy Anniversary.

I've moved on to MacOS for work and Arch Linux for home but Slackware will always have a special place as my intro to Linux and understanding what actually goes on beneath the surface on a computer.

I can't count the number of late-night hours I spent in high school learning about Linux and playing DroidBattles on a second-hand, beat-up Toshiba Portégé running Slackware.

Same but I use: cat | Mk1 eyeball

In all seriousness, the great thing about a standard like this is that it is tool agnostic.

I still use one of these on my desktop. My favorite pointing device of all time.

I'm leading a mid-sized project that is using RefluxJS. We're very happy with it.

Beta killed it!

Jokes aside, I feel like Slashdot has had some issues for a while and the purchase by Dice just accelerated them. They want a large amount of ad revenue from a niche site. It's hard to have quality and quantity, especially when you are more focused on the money.

- A lot of people who I think of as 'general users' flocked to Slashdot because it was the place to be if you wanted to know what was going on in the tech world. - The quality of Slashdot moderation -> articles -> comments declined overtime. Possibly, this was to attract more general users for ad revenue. - Slashdot moderation isn't as centralized or enforced as HN or a sub Reddit. This isn't a problem if everyone wants to stay on topic and discuss the details of the article but with so many general users you end up with: - "Beta" - "Typical Slashdot" - "I for one welcome our new [INSERT TOPIC] overlords" as highly rated comments again and again.

Finishing up documentation and some cleanup before release on a Go logging library for LogEntries.

I'd agree with you if we were comparing apples to apples.

This is not the case with Fast.js as it breaks away from the language specifications. I'd much rather build, profile, and then optimize the few areas that actually require better performance than potentially introduce bugs by replacing the built-in methods.

Currently ramping up work on several related side projects and preparing to file for an LLC within a few months.
