As far as I understand flight numbers are reused regardless, they're more like bus lines

This seems backwards. We've known for a long time that successful execution is not enough for understanding.

You need to actually remove the bottleneck, after _that_ there'll be a new one

Funny. I love flying partly for the very reason that airports need to be idiot-proof.

I wonder why operating systems aren't integrating with browsers more.

"Creating value", "making money", etc. are meaningless

That's not an interesting question, it'll be the same path as before but somewhat longer.

If you're writing CRUD, there's no excuse not to write it competently since you're not solving a new problem

For example, doing a marketing push assuming that the app works, and then having it fail in trivial ways at release.

I believe compressed random noise cannot be shorter in expectation than the original

Is it a goal to actually run self-hosted runners against preloop?

You mean the thing that was wrong with DOGE was execution, not the idea itself

I don't follow, how is that better? It's down more often AND you have to do more work.

Wait, were Webhooks also down, not notifying about commit pushes?

Yeah these results are useless when `npm run setup` is "dangerous" but then `npm run lint` somehow isn't. Not only do these tests lack context about the execution environment, they're straight up not even self-consistent.

It doesn't matter if the results are bad even when the devs know that it's a test.
