Sorry but no! On my corner of the world it's not allowed but more importantly it's dangerous. When riding your bike you must have all your senses fully engaged. First day I got on my new ride my dad gave me a piece of biker wisdom: You are the weakest and smallest vehicle () on the road, watch out and drive like nobody can see you or cares about you.

Im not a big fan of Windows but copy pasting a file across 3 nested RDP sessions feels magical every time

I would assume it's grating for anybody to hear their mother tongue butchered. More so when both sides know they could just switch English and have an adult conversation instead of struggling to buy a loaf of broad and a bottle of water. I always feel the urge to switch and have to remind myself that the other person is making a big effort on their side and that should be appreciated and respected.

P.S. My mother tongue is Spanish and it's many accents are anything but standardized.

If it’s good enough it’s good enough, but just like there are many more options than going full blown LLM or just use a regex there are more options than transpile a massive Python stack to TS or give up.

Kids will randomly run into the road. They might run behind a ball or a dog so that it doesn’t end up on the other side or runned over or are simply too excited to remember your stern road safety talk.

The first thing I was taught when I picked up a car was: if you see a ball on the road you stop immediately. This valuable lesson has saved one kid (and my sanity) with me on the wheel.

The last and most important slide is missing.

"Ignore all the advise above and do the right thing Subtext: This will take multiple lifetimes to accomplish"

This is particularly important considering that some of the advice is at odds with each other and engineering is an unending juggling of tradeoffs. It's also by far the hardest to achieve both technically and socially but worth striving for.

That’s true! Sorry for not mentioning that.

I'm not a go developer and this kind of thing is far from my area of expertise. Do you mind giving some examples?

As far as I can tell skimming the code, and as I said, without knowledge of Go or the domain, the "shape" of the code isn't bad. If I got any vibes (:))from it, it was lack of error handling and over reliance on exactly matching strings. Generally speaking, it looks quite fragile.

FWIW I don't think the conclusion is wrong. With limited knowledge he managed to build a useful program for himself to solve a problem he had. Without AI tools that wouldn't have happened.

This is the stuff nightmares are made of. We already live in a you have nothing to hide society. Now imagine one where mega corps and the government have access to every thought you have. No worries, you got nothing to hide right? What would that do to our thought process and how we articulate our inner selfs? What do we allow ourselves to even think? At some point it will not even matter because we will have trained ourselves to suppress any deviant thought. I'd rather not keep on going because the ramifications of this technology make me truly sick in the stomach.

Even better is to try to fetch all the env variables and then report on all of the missing ones.

At my current employer, Kuva Space, I'm among other things responsible for the commisioning and in orbit calibration of the payload. The Moon is a major calibration target for us, and between waxing and waining crescents I spent a lot of time analyzing Moon shots to perform radiometric calibration and camera parameter optimizations. The Moon doesn't know about weekends and images are not always downlinked at the most convenient times so that makes my life a bit more hectic.
