Maybe I'd pay $2 for this.

"The DEA has long contended it would not be plausible to seize every shipment of every drug" - I mean yeah, that does sound expensive and a privacy nightmare.

Not sure about the tagline "98% beat default" - default is level 3. Levels 4–22 beating level 3 on ratio is expected.

That is a horrendous decision.

At least with sports teams they entertain me and I can be a fan. For "X person joins Y company" I don't have a reason to care.

I don't like reading AI generated article text. Most people don't. Please don't use it.

New comment by drewbitt in "Who is done with code reviews?"

drewbitt — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:32:53 +0000

I have not seen any AI review do codebase conventions consistently well. Scenarios like - the code may be valid, but it doesn't use our library for x feature, or in FE it isn't using the new component / styling, etc. Enterprise things. Once someone figures that out it's nearly solved except when requiring undocumented context IMO

Would need auto-fix & commit capabilities to really replace lefthook or lint-staged for me. https://github.com/j178/prek/issues/1051

I'm not interested in integrating an unguided 400-commit single Ralph iteration as part of critical infrastructure at this point.

I think a 413 commit repo took a bit of time.

Has everyone really built their own microVMs? I don’t think so.

A lot of the personal projects posted there are immediately abandoned. There's obviously no guarantee that a project you advertise will be maintained, but before there was a likely chance that the submitter was going to. Now, not so much. A bit frustrating when going through new projects, so I get it.
