<p>This is common across all corporations. My go-to example is Unilever or Nestle pushing products that are 100% unhealthy.<p>In Asia, it's not uncommon to see healthy drinks for children that are sugar+artificial flavouring with huge marketing campaigns targetting the parents . The corporation makes millions and then advertises how they donated $10k to an obesity charity.</p>

<p>Dora released a report last year: <a href="https://dora.dev/research/2025/dora-report/" rel="nofollow">https://dora.dev/research/2025/dora-report/</a><p>The gains are ~17% increase in individual effectiveness, but a ~9% of extra instability.<p>In my experience using AI assisted coding for a bit longer than 2 years, the benefit is close to what Dora reported (maybe a bit higher around 25%). Nothing close to an average of 2x, 5x, 10x. There's a 10x in some very specific tasks, but also a negative factor in others as seemingly trivial, but high impact bugs get to production that would have normally be caught very early in development on in code reviews.<p>Obviously depends what one does. Using AI to build a UI to share cat pictures has a different risk appetite than building a payments backend.</p>

<p>This is not an issue for me due to my workflow.<p>I have a script for each of my projects that I run when I open a new terminal window (Alacritty). The scripts set up tmux with 3-8 terminals, each terminal launches a components, utility or  just sits in a folder from which I later run commands.<p>Having said that, I use only a few zsh plugins, and have a theme configured to not run commands that add extra latency.</p>

<p>Something that I find amusing in the Java community is that a good number of senior developers, with anything from 5-20 years of experience, who do 'tdd' have never heard of the concept of test doubles and religiously think that a class <i>must</i> be tested in complete isolation mocking everything else.<p>The saddest one I saw was a team trying to do functional programming (with Spring). The tech lead was a bit flummoxed when I asked why mocks are not used in functional languages and continued to think that 'mocking functions' is the correct way to do TDD.</p>

<p>A quick google shows this for FF (taken from a thread in StackOverflow):<p>> In Firefox you can completely disable beforeunload events by setting dom.disable_beforeunload to true in about:config. Extensions may be needed for other browsers.<p>A word of caution: I'm not 100% sure, but I wonder if some web collaboration tools might use this to ensure data has been synced with a server.</p>

<p>[posted this in another thread, but maybe the author can clarify this]<p>I wonder how this works when one runs test in parallel (something I always enable in any project). By this I mean configuring JUnit to run as many tests as cores are available to speed up the run of the whole test suite.<p>I took a peek at the code and I have the impression it doesn't work that well as it hooks into when a thread is started.

<p>I have the strong impression that most people confound cloud to be public only. Private clouds are fine and deliver a lot of the flexibility at a big % discount of a public cloud.<p>The big gain from clouds is the flexible infrastructure, especially in the microservices world we are now. In the past, one needed to procure, provision, etc a new server to run a service (times X per environment). With a cloud, regardless if it's public or private, provisioning a VM (or container) to run a new service is a few clicks away.</p>

<p>I only skimmed through the article, but if I understood correctly the scammers made $23m, now have to repay $3.3m (which probably will never happen) and some of their assets were taken. They were given 4 and 6 year prison sentences (which might be cut short for good conduct I assume).<p>So in 3 years these blokes come out, with probably ~5m-10m stashed away? Not a bad ROI :(.</p>
