Which is why everything ends up as json in the end.

It has dependency injection

I like this idea, it has the bonus of revealing how much the reviewer actually cares. I bet half the things they wouldn’t take the time to fix themselves.

So sell the service and not the product.

Exactly, python is not Java. I don’t want it to be. There are perfectly good cases to catch all exceptions like this.

The article convinced me that markdown is better for its purpose.

Why does Google suddenly care? Location Services has never been privacy minded. Does this have to do with that 2000 mules thing?

The CVE industrial complex is real. The majority of CVE I’ve looked into are not really risks. It’s a sea of noise with the occasional super important exception. Good an on this dev.

I stopped reading this garbage after “ the question as to whether these supplements reduce mortality is an important public health issue.”

I felt the same about ai until the newer chatgpt. It’s really better than i am. It’s never perfect, but I don’t think I’ll ever go without it now.

Tell me how an exception works. I’ve seen bugs caused by people not understanding the underlying mechanism. It doesn’t mean one shouldn’t use them.

There’s an ability to understand. Most coders really have no clue how their code works. It’s not a brag, nor incompetence. Does your average dev really understand the underlying instruction set? LLM are like having a team of junior devs. I can quickly skim it, test it, ship it. I’ve worked in all sorts of safety related code. I would trust ai code over some of the crap I’ve seen (and probably wrote myself)

I’ve been coding over 20 years. I’m guilty. But I’ve also learned that for most domains it doesn’t really matter if you understand the code, if it work, it works. Of course you have to watch for security and safety issues. Maybe ask an llm to explain the code under review?

There are many off label uses. Pulmonary Hypertension for one.

This is how i figured out NO would help my heart. Eating cereal colored with beet powder. If i understand the magic happens when it combines with saliva. So chewing beets might help.

It is being used off label all over the place for heart conditions. That’s why i take it. The on label use is actually pretty annoying for the first few months.
