I haven't found that, but even if that is true, it saves you tons of time having to filter out all the sponsored results and get to the things that actually give you the information you where searching for.

the Django community is pretty vocal about htmx too (in a good way)

I love treafik, we use it with nomad/consul and docker to setup our whole infrastructure. The plugin system is also simple yet powerful and the dynamic configs are great for our customers custom domains, we can quickly see if a domain points to the right IP and put it in to get everything working. And of a domain no longer points to is we get a slack notification and it removes it from traefik so it no longer tries to get SSL certificates for it.

at work we're still at the pre-fork drama version of elasticsearch, it works and leaves us open to pick whichever direction we want to go at a later date when we need it. The same will be for redis, it works, no need to stay up to date.

this, the number of times I've heard: I can't sleep those estimates to the customer. How is that a me problem? I don't care how you sell it, just know that my estimate is pretty accurate on how much time we need to build it.

And also don't expect us to work 8 hours a day doing tasks.

the biggest problem I have with it that with custom styling and bad choices in those that it will be hard to see when it's on or off. A checkbox is very clear in that regard.

is the bridge open when it's up or is it closed when it's up?

this raises the question; what do people do with their iPhones to crack the screen? terminal velocity is not enough speed it seems.

generated something that doesn't look like me at all, didn't "see" my glasses and gave me a full beard I don't have.

New comment by MrOxiMoron in "Please don't use AI to get on the global leaderboard"

MrOxiMoron — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 19:02:36 +0000

I made the leaderboard once, when I had to get up real early to get to work and had everything prepped to do it on my commute. Now I just do it for myself, last year I did notice copilot suggesting big pieces of code that where not always correct but at least came close (probably trained by people that did use copilot and did it earlier in the day).

I the switched copilot to the mode where it only suggests things when I ask for it and that was a lot more fun, figuring it out myself and of I got really stuck I could sometimes get a hint from someone who had a similar approach.

MrOxiMoron — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 17:46:06 +0000

I 100% agree, the commute (90+ minutes twice), the open office space where people walk in and out and interrupt even without checking if you are in a meeting or concentrating on some complex problem and the team not being there (I start early and leave early, other do both late).

and yes, the team thing is hard, but we do have office days when we all show up and have an agenda of things to discuss. That's when the team building happens!

biggest problem is clicking a link outside of the browser... which one will it open in? seems to be the first opened, but then you want to open a link and that browser wants to update, so you have to restart it.. now it's not the first opened anymore, so you have to close all other browsers too before opening the first again and then the others.

This demonstrates the biggest problem with usb-c: the connectors are the same, but the capabilities are very different and not visible to the naked eye.

I did the same, and then allowed logged in users to define their own stylesheet. Thought it was pretty cool at the time.

how is the insulation of this new glass, great if it saves emmisions on the production side, but if it lets all the heat in my house fly outside it won't save a thing.

Don't confuse commit to a branch and pushing, I often commit (amend) locally but I never push till that part is done.
